I love sandals and flip flops and summer!

I found this funny and wanted to share:

Alright Ladies, it's that time of the year again. Just a friendly reminder!! Please raise your big toes and repeat after me:

As a member of the fashionable and sophisticated women 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.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, 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 toe swells and begins to look like a Vienna sausage.

If I have been privy to the magic that is Foot Soup, I will share that knowledge and experience with the non-initiated.

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 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 beauty school at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $10 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!!!

That's Good!

i love sandals and wear them as long as the temp is above 60....even if it's December.
Not the white ones though, that would be tacky. We all know they're only for the period between Easter and Labor day.

By the time Labor day comes my new white sandals are not white anymore! ha ha

LOL That was great, that smart chick! I needed that! This is a delayed response, but I'm just now reading all the extra forum sections.

I have to do my own pedicures, however, because I'm so ticklish. I would hate to maim anyone touching my feet.

...a delayed response from me as well. However, I loved it. I wear sandals and flip-flops all year long, and that was true when I lived in Alabama and now, living in Connecticut.

Hahaha! I hadn't looked in the Shoals Wmoan section so far and now I am really glad I did.

I needed that!

I know it's November...but that's still funny
