Well, I think I’ve talked myself out of the foot thong. I’m not Indian, and my index toe is slightly longer than my great toe. I’m thankful I refrained from subjecting the horror of my feet upon others. 😉

I am going to try that whole vaseline and plastic wrap thing I read around here someplace, though, so maybe my feet will look supple, if not festooned with sparklies.

The vaseline and saran wrap work especially well after a professional pedicure, much easier to maintain nice feet than get them that way yourself.

Do it, find the time, spend the money, and you might decide your feet are purty enough to make your own special dragonfly rubberband thingy just for you! 🆒

I have very very tiny, nice feet, according to a friend with a genuine foot fetish (I don’t wear shoes indoors, except when I’m around him, because I’m no longer comfortable with the way he looks at my feet). Personally, I’m not into feet at all, and all of them look pretty yucky to me.

I wouldn’t wear toe rings, they don’t look comfy. I have a gold necklace (mine, from when I was a baby), that is now too small for a necklace and too big for a bracelet, which I have worn as an anklet on occasion. Worn with a nice long skirt, sandals and some nail polish, it looked good. With jeans and heels…tacky as hell.

To me, it’s only attractive if the feet are attractive. But that is rare; I think feet are the second ugliest part of the human anatomy.
