Toenail painting is what separates the girls from the women.
I once described my teen love-rival (I was early twenties and should have known better) as all chewing gum and brightly-painted toenails. It made my colleague squeal with bitchy delight.

It's mandatory if you join a summer pool. mine are purple. the first painting of the season is a joyful occasion

Shawnee123 · 06-10-2009, 12:13 PM

Sometimes I'll paint them a pale pink...but 35-40 bucks for a pedicure when I'm going to be stomping around barefoot every chance i get in the summer (AND swimming) is not going to happen.

I've had people poo poo me: Oh My GAWWWDDDD, how can you not get a pedicure?

The waste of money, for one thing, for something that wasn't important until like, yesterday's fashion headlines reared their ugly by-lines.

But, I'm an unmade bed of a woman.

Sundae · 06-10-2009, 12:18 PM

No, darlin.
If someone disses you because you haven't had a pedicure that bitch needs a dose of reality. And a kick in the cunt.

I have never had one in my life.
I don't have perfect feet by any means. But I paint my toenails because I think they look nicer in Barbie Slut Pink than unadorned. If you choose not to that's fine.

Challenge anyone who comments on your toenails to a drinking competition.
That'll show them where your money is invested. And they won't bother you again after you've seen them singing Spice Girls' songs with their knickers on their heads.

Shawnee123 · 06-10-2009, 12:22 PM

I gave up my drinking title. My friends are mostly under 30...I go home by 9 pm, they stay up until 9 am. It's just not so fun for me anymore.

I do admit subtly painted toenails are nice, and like when I've done mine. My problem is I have these awful fingernails...and it's not symmetrical for my toenails to look better than my fingernails.

Clodfobble · 06-10-2009, 12:22 PM

Can I tell you, though? I think regularly recurring pedicures are a total waste of money, and doing them just for appearance's sake is even worse. But maybe once a year, to get all your cracked and painful calluses scraped off, and your feet massaged in the process? I'm down with that. [/former naysayer who had never had one before]

Shawnee123 · 06-10-2009, 12:25 PM

I heard the same thing Clod. My sis-in-law mentioned the foot massage, and the care to calluses...so I've actually considered it.

Boy a foot massage would feel great. (All I can think of now is Pulp Fiction "I'm the foot fuckin' master, don't be ticklin' or nothin'")

Sundae · 06-10-2009, 12:38 PM

Mum wanted to attack my calluses the other day.
I fended her off.
It's the only thing that stops my damn feet bleeding!

I earned this hard skin and it's there for my protection.

My wife gets a pedicure at the beginning of summer. She goes with a friend. It's a social thing and a nice way for her to treat herself to something special.

Sundae · 06-10-2009, 02:21 PM

This time next week, in 24 hours, I will only have a short time to wait for Psychoville!

Yes, I know it's tenuous, but I am excited.
And yes, I've already seen the first two episodes (fantastic!) at the BFI but it's not the same as seeing the terrestrial debut.

I've been scanning the listings magazines to make sure it is getting the coverage I think it deserves... Well... mostly. The Radio Times (the Beeb's official listings mag) had it mentioned on the front cover, but had Jimmy Nesbit as the feature.
What? He's okay, but couldn't they have put that off a week?
Psychoville is visually arresting AND starts this week. And is nothing like any home-grown (or any imported) series. It's benchmark TV. Tcha, the Beeb never really appreciated the League either IMHO.

Heat gave it five stars and a Pick of the Day. I've had to stop getting it for financial reasons, but it reminds me why I liked them in the first place - screw their celebrity news, they have great TV reviewers. Or at least their opinions generally coincide with mine.

Anyway, this is happy time.
Oh Mr Jelly.
I am excited.

And yes, it's black. And filthy.

Tonight i hear the term Pedibeer. apparantly you go out for a pedicure with friend ....and stay out all evening

Aliantha · 06-10-2009, 06:30 PM

Ever since the GFC I don't get my monthly pedi anymore.

woe is me. Now I just have to do my own. Woe is me!

(I pretty much think I'm the only one who notices my feet though, and I liked to go because it was just something I used to do for myself as opposed to the passtimes the men in my family subject me to constantly such as, sports on tv, or irl, fishing, making a mess, eating all the food, making a mess. Not doing stuff which clearly needs doing such as tidying the coffee table or sweeping the kitchen floor. I'm sure. you. get. my. point.)

capnhowdy · 06-10-2009, 07:57 PM

I think I'll have a pedicure tomorrow evening. Out on the porch with a side grinder.

Top Chef Masters starts tonight. Woot.

When I was in college I painted one of my toenails black. My female friends enjoyed it.
