If you think nobody will notice that your toenails are not painted during the summer, you're wrong. I notice and I care.
I don't have a foot fetish, I just like shoes. And open toed shoes look bad when your toenails are not painted. It's like leaving your house without brushing your hair. You just don't do it, unless you are on the way to the salon.
That being said, why, I ask you, are pedicures so damn expensive? Why do I have to pay $25 plus non-optional tip to get my stupid feet taken care of? Is it because I get to sit in their crappy pretend massage chairs that never work right? Is it $25 worth of superiority looking down at the poor middle age Asian woman crouching over my dirty feet? Is it to pay for the millions of magazines in the salon? How about for sterilization supplies? I've never even seen sterilization supplies!
Furthermore, I hate getting pedicures. It takes too long, it generally hurts a lot, their stupid leg massages are worthless. Why is this procedure, not unlike going to the gynocologist, considered a treat? It's just maintanence. Like getting gas, but with a chance of drawing blood.
Sure, I could paint my own toenails. But the nail ladies get all the dead skin and garbage off and when I paint my own toenails it just chips off in a day or two and looks even worse.
Yesterday Ellie, Cam and a friend went to the mall to get pedicures (thanks, Mom!) The highlight was buying shoes afterward and taking a break from my . And yes, I did smudge my toenail polish.
Cam in dark, Ellie with the long toe, and my toes that all look like baby carrots.

I'm not seeing the baby carrots.
I go get pedicures so rarely that the ladies look all dissapproving at me and hold up the pumice stone and try to demonstrate: "You do this everday!"
Betty's Nails in San Ramon. I'm telling you, their leg massages make it worth your while, PLUS, they don't even have massage chairs, so you don't have to be disappointed when they don't work. But, the pedicures last forever, and I think it's only 20, plus non-optional tip.
Nice, Nice, You like?
Hmm. I hate parting with my dollars too, but I think the massages are heavenly. I only wish they went all of the way up.
Ok, now THAT was a good post. So good I should have written it. And I agree it's painful and expensive and necessary. I do love Betty's in SR.
Hold it! Hold it! Ladies?!?!? Do you know how much pedi's cost in Vegas? They are $50 minimum! That's why my poor baby carrots have'nt been done since July 6th! See? It's been so long I know the exact date! My toe polish is now chipping from both ends AND my ingrowns are getting so bad they wake me up at night if Patrick's feet touch mine under the covers.
White nail girls overcharge. In fact, my sis-in-law, a nail tech who opened her own salon, probably made 6 figures last year.
That's it. I'm coming to California.
awww, they don't look like baby carrots! vienna sausages, maybe. but definitely not carrots.
