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.
I will shave the hairs off my big toe.
If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.
No matter how much it hurts, 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 been dragged 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 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 better one.
And finally, 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 to yourself - pass it on! May God bless your soul as well as your soles!
PLUS NO BLACK STOCKINGS WITH WHITE SANDALS OR SHOES.............I mean it!

Frighteningly, Jelly shoes are BACK this year.... EEK!

 

Damn! And I just bought 3 pairs of them jelly shoes in blue, pink and white!

That was right on!!! Some people also ask "do these jeans make me look FAT" NOOOO honestly IT's THE FAT THAT MAKES YOU LOOK FAT!!!! If you have to bend over before pulllin them up give them away.. Amen to the crusty toes women think are cute to show off. UGH!!! Once I had a girlfriend who would grow her big toe nail all long I mean to the point of curlin; and she would insist that men found that sexy---- who?!! why?!!!!! someone lied to her!!!!!

 

That made me ill![:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(] It's one thing to grow your nail, square the tip off and paint it. But to have it curl....UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![:'(][:'(][:'(]

 

I've been riding my Cbr 1000 for nineteen years with heels... no jellies for me, lol. I may be riding what everyone considers a "man bike" but i sure as crap don't have to look like one.
