Well, you're right, of course. However, pedicured feet and manicured nails
have become have become commonplace in almost every area of the valley.
Even WalMart nail salons are filled throughout the day. :-)

Yet so many of those women with the fake nails done to the extreme
(tacky, tacky, tacky...not to mention being bacterial playgrounds) often
don't put near as much effort or resources into the rest of their

Yes, all the Super WalMarts in the Phoenix area have both separate nail and
hair salons, as well as optical centers with independent optometrists. Some
also have hearing centers with hearing aid dispensers.

It's very interesting to watch the varietal parade of people going in and
out of the nail and hair salons in WalMart. Some are not done to the
extreme and probably go there because of the price, while others are
laughable if not sad examples who apparently think that their nails and
hair will divert attention from their less attractive attributes. :-)

I am no shining example of physique, but it's almost appalling to watch a
300+ lb. woman zooming in and out on her electric cart for her 1-1/2" nails
and swooping hairdo. OTOH, if it makes her happy, I guess I shouldn't
care. It's none of my business.

I don't know about the carburetors. I was barely a teenager. Just an
admirer!

Neighboor did have the early ... xj6 ... (???) sleeker than hell, silver
SOB. My first 100mph+ ride ever.

Sweet ride!!!! One of a kind!!!

IMO, it would be a dull world without people, like the 300 lb woman on
the electric card with her 1-1/2" nails and swooping hairdo. Average
people do not hold my interest.

Becca,

I met a woman with probably 6" fingernails. All beautifully polished. So
long they curled around once or twice. She was a cashier and held a pen,
cigar style to hammer at the cash register buttons.

I made the dumb mistake and asked her if she ever thought to sell her
nails! What WAS I thinking?!? I got the dirtiest look!!!

Yup. My MIL suffered from congestive heart failure and she had some
scary looking feet and toenails.

The St. Louis contingent may be able to back me up on this, but at the
Art Museum they had (have ?) an Egyptian mummy displayed in a glass
case. The wrappings were partially undone and the big toe of one foot
was visible.

Generations of school children stared in horrified fascination at that
toe while rubbing down the goosebumps on their arms.

That's what my MIL's toes looked like. A pedicure would have been
pretty much pointless. I was glad she was able to do a turn around the
dance floor with her son, ugly feet and all.

And again, maybe this is a St. Louis thing, but I remember that at prom
and homecoming and weddings and the like, even with the young women, the
highheel sandals stayed on until the pictures were taken then they came
off. We all danced bare-footed. The space under every table was a
tangle of sparkly shoes and itty bitty purses.

<dope slapping forehead>


Why didn't I think of this?
This has to be the next big thing in wedding planning. For years I've
gotten the idea that the lavish arrangements weren't really for the
comfort of the guests and that I was just a prop for the wedding video.


And to think I was appalled at the idea of hiring professionals to write
the toasts and speeches.


For that matter, why only have thin beautiful people for the crowd
scenes? You might as well have good looking models to play the parents
of the bridal couple too.


Since it's all about staging the perfect party, getting gifts, and
impressing the right people, I don't see why the bride couldn't be
replaced with someone younger and prettier too. (Wait, men are doing
that already.)

shoes have become pretty boring in recent years, though, at least

You're almost as bad as my wife. I had to move the shoes out of a closet last
fall and was amazed that there were more than 40 pairs of shoes. Then I found
out those were just the shoes for that season. She has about as many in
another closet.

I have
- a pair of black dress shoes
- a decent pair of loafers
- an old worn pair of loafers for working grubbing around the yard
- one pair of SAS walking shoes inherited from my father
- one pair hiking boots
- one pair of work boots
- one pair of sandals
- two pairs of runners, one for the gym and one for outside use
- one pair of ropers (used to wear for riding)
- one pair of paddock boots.

The dress shoes are about 15 years old, most of the others are at least 5
years old.

I confess - I'm a shoe junkie, too. Went to the Prime Outlet mall in
San Marcos TX with The Kid yesterday - Cole Hahn, Ferragamo, Neiman's
Last Call, Saks... 3 pair of shoes, 1 handbag.

Have you tried Ecco shoes? I finally got the DH pried out of his
casual-look sneakers and into a pair of Eccos. He now has 4 pair of
Eccos - 2 casual and 2 dress. He claims they fit like bedroom
slippers.

I am totally missing the shoe freak gene. I like shoes well enough
but I wouldn't know what to do with stacks of shoes like you see
some people have.

I have a couple pairs of boots, *one* pair of heels, not much else.

I always have a pair of white Nike Airs and the pair it replaced
kicking around. The old pair is for yardwork. Sad, but true.

And I have those aqua flip flops with the silver crysanthemum print.
(laugh) Stylish.

you know what I mean.
