Put those piggies away!

You know what's really nice about Fall and Winter? No more open-toed shoes. I no longer have to look at anyone's scraggly, long toenails. EWwwwwWW!!! Please, folks. I know it's just me. I know most people think long toenails with pink and red polish or (God Forbid!) a French Manicure is attractive, but I? I shudder. I shrink back. It IRKS. ME. OUT. Any nail on a toe long enough to paint needs to be clipped!!!


I am actually typing with my eyes closed until that picture disappears beyond the line...

This is not to say I don't like bare feet. Shoot, I am barefoot 95% of the time, winter included. Remember this post? Such a funny post, if I do say so myself... (And, apparently, I do.)

To all of my friends who have "pretty" toenails, forgive me. I still love you. I just won't be looking at your pedicures anytime soon....

I live in Florida where it is open toe season all year long. I don't think I even own closed toes shoes. I am not a pedicure person. I would love to be one but my life doesn't allow me the luxury of an hour to myself once a week to devote to my feet. I would much rather sleep.

Am sooo laughing at this one. I've blogged on several occasions about my foot fetish (or rather, my aversion!!) regarding others' feet.
I don't like the French manicure either, or heaven forbid, the acrylic nail, especially on the toes. Gag me!!
I do paint mine, but I keep mine cut fairly short, and I wear sandals every chance I get, but then, I think my feet look "normal".
My big issue is with hammer-toes, bunyons and other deformities.

OMG I am so LOL right now... I heart painted toes... but LOATHE long toenails... loathe, loathe, loathe! And the only way my day could have been more perfect the the other day would have been if I had been sitting in the pedicure chair WITH my RED Starbucks cup! And Target makes me happy too... silly as that is!

I would never thought of doing a french manicure on TOES. Ick!

I never paint my toes. And I completely agree....if those nails are long enought to paint them...they need clipping! YUCK

I have to admit to being a pedicure junkie. But I like my toenails short. My best friend keeps her toenails really long (not like Guiness World Record long, but long) and it always skeeves me out.

I've never understood the french pedicure thing. Don't get me wrong! I like a good pedicure and polish on my toes on the rare occasions I get one, but the french pedicure is too much. Also, long toenails are just wrong. Your toenails shouldn't extend past the ends of your toes.

It's November 8- and my daughter is still wearing her pink sparkle flip flops. I had her try on her boots the other day and she told me it wasn't necessary. She wasn't going to ever, ever wear them. She plans on wearing her flip flops right through winter. I think she'll cave on the first snowfall.

I like receiving pedicures...and agree that nails shouldn't extend past the actual toe. Moderation in all things.

It is -9 here today and I will still wear flip flops because there is no snow. I live pedis but i will die if my toenail is anywhere near the end of my toe. Sometimes too short and then they hurt!

As someone who has been maimed on more than one occasion by my husband's freakishly long toenails as we lay in bed, I couldn't agree more. Long toenails are nasty!

i like the french manicure on my toes but also keep my toenails really short! So they just paint the line on and I get to keep my toenails short :)

your post cracked me up!

I guess I'm foot-indifferent: neither grossed out by or in love with feet.

But I do miss sandal season, only because I do love letting my feet be free from the confines of dark, cramped shoes. Sort of a foot claustrophobia. :)

But I do agree with you - I keep toenails trimmed very close. They bug me if they reach the ends of my toes.
