I 'm Putting My Foot Down
Feet...Feet...feet-feet-feet!
What the Hell is it with people and their feet? Everywhere I go, people are talking about their feet! Or their toe-nails or their pedicures or taking pictures of their damn feet.
What is going on? It's downright creepy if you ask me.
Is feet-gazing the new "navel-gazing"? Have we become so bored with self analysis that now, perfection of the foot is the key to an individual sense of well-being?
Don't get me wrong, nice feet are important to me, right up there with well-cared for teeth and clean hair. Feet, just like other parts of the body, should be clean and fungus free. Some polish is perfectly fine. There's nothing nicer than a pretty foot and nothing more frightening than ugly, gross feet with brittle toe-nails.
*shudder*
Is getting a pedicure the new status symbol? Like, "I can afford to pay someone else to groom my feet." Woo-hoo, because that doesn't impress me at all; I don't want to put my feet in container that's had other people's feet in it, let alone, have a stranger touching my feet.
*shudder, again*
I know some people have foot fetishes, which I never really understood, but is it more wide-spread than I thought? Maybe, all this foot talk is sexually motivated and I'm missing the innuendo? Are feet the new cleavage?
I like looking at pictures of people's new hair styles or clothes or cute shoes, I totally GET that sort of thing, but please tell me -
what is this obsession of showing off the feet?
