Well Ladies and Gents the summer weather is here in full force and all of us have dipped into are new and old summer threads.
Just as a lot of people do I like to walk and enjoy the scenery around me and appreciate every last moment of this weather inspite of the MASSIVE heat we have been experiencing. Whether I am walking, biking, blading or driving. I enjoy people watching.
Amongst my travels I have noticed people have made the move from sneakers to sandals and who can blame anyone for that.
You have your slingbacks, thong, clogs and slip on's to name a few. But folks we have some sandals do's and dont's to address for the next time you decide to dawn the sandals.
LADIES:
DON'T.....I REPEAT DO NOT wear nylons with sandals it looks ridiculous and defeats the purpose of wearing open toe shoes. There is nothing worse than looking at a pair of feet with renforcement on the toe and ladies don't be fooled by the sandalfoot stockings they are just as ridiculous and don't think we are not laughing at the one line going across you toe. IT IS HILARIOUS
Do get a nice pedicure- the most repulsing thing to see is a nice pair of shoes with feet looking like something you would see on the X-Files. EWWWW!!!!
The average cost for a pedicure is $30.00 which may be a lot these days ladies you do have options:
Option 1 you can walk around with that hang nail coming off you BIG toe with the toe jam not to far or you can walk into walmart and pick up a pair of clippers and get rid of that for $1.49
Option 2 you can walk around with your heels looking like the skin of a lizard and sounding like sandpaper or you can walk into your local drug store and pick up a pumice stone and some cream. $2.49 for both.
Option 3 Nailpolish if you are going to wear pretty shoes how about a nice pretty color to accent your new shoes. The worse thing is looking at a nice pair of shoes with a plain pair of feet can head to the dollarstore and pick out a nice color for $1.00.
Finally if you are painting your toes- STAY IN THE LINES.
There you have it a pedicure for dummies under $10.00
Next we move on to buying the right type of sandals. If you are going to buy a pair of shoes please make sure your toes are not hanging from the edge and if they are it mean the shoe is not fitting. The same rule applys to the heel dragging at the back. If the shoe FITS wear it if not keep your sneakers on.
Ok Guys don't think you are getting off that easy!
Guys if you are going to breakout the burkinstocks put away the SOCKS!!!
If you are going to wear sandals make sure you borrow your mates $1.49 cream there is nothing worse that walking behind you thinking it is a stone in my shoe when it is just layers of your deadskin coming off. YUCK.
For some of you more daring men go ahead and use my guide and give yourself the pedicure for dummies It is ok really. Nobody is going to know if that is your beef. How many guys really sit on a patio and say DUDE nice toes.
Well folks there you have it Just some helpful tips for the next time you want to put on those flip flops.
So go ahead strut your stuff.....and please clean em up your feet will thank you
and so will the on lookers

Here is a REAL comment. I liked the humour in this posting. I would have commented on it way back when you wrote it but I hadn't gotten here yet. Sorry. :) Isn't it crazy how little some girls care about their feet. We are on the things all day long, and then we expect someone who isn't staring at our breast but at the ground for a change of pace to not notice the moss and caked dirt between the toes, or the talons we call nails? So, good call, girl!
