Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 ok, Ladies... Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Faux Paux Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Ruleswhen 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. I will shave the hairs off my big toes. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, co-worker, mother, sister tells me thetoe 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 into place hoping it will stayput. 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 needhim. I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99, even if myfeet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and thesafety of others. I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day, if my toes swell and begin to look likeVienna sausages. I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/co-worker when she asks meif her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes look likethey've been dragged behind her car on the way to work and no sandal in the world is going tomake her feet look good. (That is what friends are for!) I will promise if I wear flip flops, that I will ensure they actually flip and flop, making thecorrect noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them. I will promise to go to my local beauty school at least once per season and have a real pedicure(they are about $15 and worth EVERY penny). I say spend another $15.00 and get an even betterone. I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that showwear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals. For all our sakes, please don't keep this to yourself - pass it on toother women....
