    Oh I am a pedicure slut. Coarse i work at a spa so this gives an unfair stance. However i love them because i have a thing for shiny red toes and I can just never get red to look good on my own. However, they will stop those gracious calluses from forming which may or may not be a benefit.

      Boo-hoo . . . I wish I could get a pedicure. I get my nails done and enjoy a nice iced coffee and some celebrity gossip with the girls who work at the shop. I would LOVE to get a relaxing pedicure but I am too embarassed. My poor feet are hella ugly - much too ugly to be seen "nude" out and about in a shop - my barefootin' is done in nature and around my own home and in the backyard. People I run across in a natural enviornment are not judgemental and their own feet are usually dusty from trudging around hill and dale. I keep my feet clean and apply nail polish and lotion and they get the occaisional foot massage but I wish they were "pretty" like the ones I see ensconsed in pretty sandals and poolside. Any other gurls out there have not so pretty feet?

        Phaedra - my feet (or at least, foot) are (is) ugly! my right foot got broken in five places five years ago, and, well, it's a little mis-shapen now. definitely does not stop me going (almost) everywhere in barefeet. it's autumn in new zealand right now, so a bit cold for barefeet unfortunately!

        pedicures? no way! i'm way too low-maintenance for that
  • I like to do my own pedicures - not so fond of the communal foot bath and tools. Spoil yourself or a friend and do their nailpolish for them! It's fun! My fave though is the dry scrub with a pumice stone to sand down those rough spots...ahhhh smooth.

      No way would I ever get a pedicure. If any of my buds ever found out it'd be all over. But one thing I could never understand is why girls paint their toenails. Such a nice and natural look gets totally ruined by putting glaring red or black paint on the toenails. Gross.

        funny you say that billy!
        i also love the natural look...
        i rarely paint my nails, but when i do, and then take it off, i'm always pleasantly surprised at how much better my toes / fingers look without the shit!

          Right on Anita. I feel the same about tats and most piercings also. Bright red or black toenail polish just reminds me of that horde of hookers I used to see when I lived in L.A. One even painted my toenails as a joke when I was passed out one night. First time I had to wear shoes there in a long time.
