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 Pledge
As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the
Rules
when wearing 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 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
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 i f her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has
to
tell her that
her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy
feet
look
good.
I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that 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 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
signs
of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.
Don't keep this to yourself - pass it on to other sisters.
