Somewhere between Bell's Palsy and death

The toes know, bro

Taking a cue from Yvonne, I see her "ugly, nasty feet treatise" and raise her this little gem of wisdom for summer footwear:

It is NEVER -- and I mean NEVER -- Ok to wear panty hose with open-toe shoes. DO YOU HEAR ME!?!?!? NEVER.

I don't want to hear that panty hose eliminate those unsightly little bulges and that you just wouldn't feel comfortable without them. GET A GIRDLE, or better yet, some Spanx (see here), which come footless. And if you think you look sharp like that? Oh, honey. You are sadly mistaken.

If I could brave 20-degree weather wearing open-toe sandals to a gala I covered last year, you can, too. For the love of God ...

wait. are you serious? are there women who do that? I thought I saw all fashion errors in Alabama, but I’ve never seen that one...weird.

Ohmigod, you wouldn’t BELIEVE! I can kind of let it slide when it’s, like, light hose with metallic sandals or if you’re 80 years-old. But black on black!?!? Absolutely NOT! And I see it here all. the. time. (Then again, there’s still a lot of ‘80s hair and flower prints that belong on tablecloths out here, too, so I shouldn’t be so surprised.) But that’s probably my BIGGEST fashion pet-peeve.

You ever seen the Web site mulletsgalore.com? Go there, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what much of NWI is like.

And you know what’s even worse than black on black? NON-SANDALTOE SUNTAN WITH WHITE! Oh yeah, they rock that fer REAL up in here. I mean, white shoes are tricky enough to pull off with any kind of class, but with those kickin’ it?!?! Ew.

I mean, honestly, what’s the point of getting a pedicure if you’re going to cover it up?

It is the job of a good person to be honest. To be self-aware. To deliberately explore the fault lines of your character and try desperately to not inflict suffering in this strange, ghost-ridden world of worked and fabricated objects. Sometimes the jobs of writer and good person coincide. But more often they don’t. There are way more writers in the world than there are good people.
