Say Cheese... Now Smile!

In commemoration for the arrival of sandal wearing weather and my 2 new ADORABLE heels that I got at Nordstrom (I HEART THE RACK!) today, I'd like to share with you this hilarious email that I got from Keri.

Hello Girls,

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again.

Please raise your big toes and repeat after me:

As a member of the Faux Paux Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and 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 - or grate them with that cheese grater looking thing.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe better yet, I will get them lasered so they never ever comeback!

I won't wear pantyhose even if my delusional girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really willstay under my toes if I tuck it there. NO NO NO.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. 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. This is 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 down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

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

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes look like they've beendragged behind her car on the way to work and no sandal in the world is going to make her feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops, that I will ensure they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go to my neighborhood nail salon at least twice a month and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 and worth EVERY penny). I say spend another $15.00 and get an even better one.

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

For all our sakes, please don't keep this yourself pass it on to other Sisters.

May God Bless your Soles as well as your Soul!

Couldn't have said it better myself. :) Take care of your feet people! (Guys too! Get pedicures! You'll love em!) Gnarly toenails are ugly and I get nervous because what if your foot accidently brushes up my leg and you scrach me with your claws. Ewwww.... I don't even want to imagine the horror.
