		<description>Crocs are big in Australia too - although not this time of year in my part of the country cos we're mid-winter and it's really cold! I have heard they are actually very comfortable but I haven't succumbed to the fashion (yet!).</description>

		<description>I proudly wore my new Islander Crocs to the super trendy VIP guests only area at the MOndrial in L.A. last weekend. I got a few fun comments from people who liked my $dollar sign jibbitz on 1 pair and smiley face on the other. I almost only wear crocs now because I've gotten so used to the comfort and lightness that my other shoes feel restrictive when I put them on. I'm waiting for the men's black leather dress shoe to become available that I saw in their flagship store in Santa Monica. As they say "once you go Crocs, you never go back"</description>

		<description>Hey Nick,

Crocs are HUGE here in Victoria as well,  actually they've already peaked and we are not seeing them quite as often.  It seems like a rule of thum that once a tendy item reaches the "Dollar Store" level, its a pretty good indication that the trend is near an end. 

I would give you a buck for a picture of you and Keith in some night club with Crocs on.

		<description>G,day Nick,
To be honest mate, have seen them around for quite a while here in Japan and a lot of the kids at IKA wear them. I might just ask one of the mothers when they became popular!!
I do feel that I need to buy a pair simply because I'm MR. Vain and need to keep up with the fashion scene. I will have the staff find the cute buttons as they are obviously important. I'm sure you will be able to find them in the local night clubs and any trendy place around town!!!
Maybe you and I can both buy a pair and be real cool for a day walking around the city!! Gosh we would be cool gaijin!!!!!
Cheers and hope to see you real soon!!!
Keith
Get your secretary on to it now mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The buttons it is all about the buttons!!!)</description>

		<description>Thanks for that Emma. I had no idea they were called Crocs and are so popular everywhere. For the uninitiated like me, here's the &lt;a href="http://www.crocs.com/home.jsp" rel="nofollow"&gt;Crocs website&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
