Put one foot in front of the other

Tomorrow is Haircut Day and once again, not a moment too soon. Salon me and don't be shy about it. Bitch. I have a question for you. Who gets a pedicure? Stop laughing. Guys get pedicures. Don't they? It's sandal season! It's not like I'm gonna get polished. So should I? My feet aren't nasty or anything. In fact, they're kinda nice. I have that wide calf to thin ankle ratio that I admire in others. So what will they do exactly if I were to get the pedi? I have some callouses from running. Debride? Will they be alternately rough and easy with me, like they can read my desires? So should I? I'm being serious, and I might actually take your advice, though who the fuck knows. You did talk me out of the man capris.

PS How bad does Blogger suck this week?

People notice other people's ankles? I'm so self-conscious right now. Do I have fat calves? Cankles? Ohmygod. I don't think so, though. I have a tattoo on one ankle, and no has ever averted their eyes with disgust, so I guess I'm doing okay.

I loves me a pedicure. I don't get them often, but they're fun. I've always heard, though, to never use one of those metal scraper/slicers for your calluses; especially never have a salon do it. If you want those calluses dealt with, have them use a pumice stone. I actually like having callused feet; easier to walk barefoot on the sand and pavement. :)

Blah blah blah blah!

Here is a good article on what to expect:

I suggest you go for it. It's really not a matter of 'pretty' paws; from the looks of your recent stems photo...well, no doubt there's an arch there I'd fall for. The experience is one of pampering if done correctly. You should soak, receive a thorough exfoliation with a mint or similar 'aromatherapy' scent. After the dead skin layers have been sloughed off...you'll get a pumice stone treatment on all the rough spots. The rest of the treatment is just nail trimming and cuticle pushing. And go for the gloss buffing. J'adore sandals on well-groomed feet. Consider it maintenance...not foo-foo tres gay. You'll enjoy it! The benefits? Someone else could enjoy your perfect grooming, too.

Speaking of wet toe sucking; Blogger does suck this week!

Get the pedi. It's indulgent and totally hedonistic and fucking brilliant. You deserve it. Our lady in NYC does this toe-snap thing where she puts your toe between her first and middle finger knuckle then pulls and sort of snaps your toe while cracking the toe joint. I just about came in my pants the first time she did it, it was so unexpected and wonderfully uncomfortable in the best way possible.

Freakgirl, I'm tentatively scheduled to have it after the haircut, but they're getting back to me. Something about calling so late. I even explained that it was my Birthday's Eve, but they were not bowed. Imagine! I'm not sure I want the callouses worked on either. With running, they develop where you need them. I'm sure you don't have the cankles, but people do look. Well I do, anyway. Oh wait, that's mostly just on guys. There is something about that curve from calf to ankle. (See the photo above...which, btw, is almost unbearably hot imo).

MG, I'm going for it! B-day present to ME. What's the gloss part you mentioned?

Bodes, it's just been insane, but it's free, so how loudly can we complain? My biggest concern about the pedi is that I'll love it too much. It'll snowball. That's my nature.

Chaucer's Bitch, word. That pic gives me the randypants.

beaurn, well if I wasn't getting one before, after your description, I'm getting one now! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take care of a few things.....

Moominmama said...

I just had a mani-pedi this weekend. It's so nice for flip-flop season to have nice looking feet. Plus, it's such a treat.

Happy B-day sexy.
