Feet!


!!!!! Alright ladies, it's that time of year once again!!! And based on this email that someone passed along to me I think we need to be reminded of a few things. So my sisters, PLEASE, raise your big toes and repeat after me below....



The Open Toed Shoe PledgeAs a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Ruleswhen wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:


I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang overand touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sidesand tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.


I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.


I will shave the hairs off my big toe.


I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker,mother or sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.


If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back intoplace hoping it will stay p ut. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.


I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him.


I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. Thisis out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone downwith me as I fall and break my ankle.


I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swelland begin to look like Vienna sausages.


I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when sheasks me i f her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her thather toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet lookgood.


I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flipand flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOTto slide or drag my feet while wearing them.


I will promise to go my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $20 and worth EVERY penny).


I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signsof wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.


Don't keep this to yourself - pass it on to other sisters.

Sorry, cant take the pledge with you.

I wear pantyhose, and like them. (gasp!)
And I know you have seen my many pairs of inherited flip flops, and one of them was originally white, turning black! haha...
