It's all about feet

I know it's between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but I don't understand why women insist on wearing white shoes. Buff? Good. Cream? Good. Natural? Good. White? Unless they're designed for exercise of the okay-to-do-in-public sort, they look like.... Well, they look like hooker shoes.

And since we're on the topics of white and feet... I am also not in favor of the ever-popular french pedicure. I feel like it's calling attention to the need to trim one's toenails.

And speaking of long toenails, why, oh why, did someone decide that it was fashionable to have such? I walk around seeing toes, nicely painted, some with pretty flowers and gems. But a lot of them, I want to whip out my ten-foot-long nail clippers. Before sitting down with the nail polish, why didn't they spend just a few minutes with the nail clippers? Stuff gets under there, you know? It's like putting perfume on a dirty body.

Okay, enough negative comments related to feet. I like feet. Really, I do.

...adding to the *ewww8-factor: people switching to sandals & flipflops without giving their crusty feet a good rasp. And then having the luck to be walking upstairs behind such prettiness. [you've had your breakfast, had you????]

Yesterday, I saw a fairly normal girl wearing clear plastic high heals. --Now those are top of the line Hooker Shoes.

I know what you're talking about, Anissa, and it's nasty. Luckily, heels here tend to be pretty well-maintained, since we expose them year round, and we've got beaches everywhere to exfoliate them. There are exceptions, though ;)

The husband makes fun of my pumice stone, but I wouldn't go without one :-)
