the nouveau nord?

you own uggs? it might not have occured to you that you own mukluks.
the reasons you posess these fashionable wonders may very well be as diverse as the terrain you will soon encounter on your trek through the yukon.
perhaps they were a present from your inuit family. or you already bought a parka and felt desperate need to accessorize. maybe you did it to support the seal or reindeer hunters who spent long hours killing and skinning the animal hide you're wearing on your feet. you know how long it takes to build an inukshuk and wanted your toes to stay warm for the duration. the floor of the igloo needed trampling and the soles on your moccasins were too soft.
i could go on. but it's clear that one of the reasons you own your new mukluks is that i didn't write this soon enough to warn you:
you live in the city.
