Posted By: ashley r on April 18, 2006 Faux Paux Sisterhood Pledge > Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. >Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: > > As a member of the Faux Paux Sisterhood, I pledge to follow >The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: > > I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not >hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over >the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge >out between the straps. > > I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact >and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big >toe. > > I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and >yellow. > > I will shave the hairs off my big toe. > > I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, >coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will >stay under my toes if I tuck it there. > > If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it >back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe >fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. > > I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good >friend Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him. > > I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the >low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to >fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my >safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly >when standing in a pool of sweat, and I would hate to take >someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle. > > I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my >toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages. > > I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker >when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. >Someone has to tell her that her toes look like they've been >dragged behind her car on the way to work and no sandal in >the world is going to make her feet look good. > > I will promise if I wear flip flops, that I will ensure they >actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while >walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while >wearing them. > > I will promise to go to my local beauty school at least once >per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 and >worth EVERY penny). > I say spend another $15.00 and get an even better one. > > And finally... > > I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that >show signs of wear...nothing is tackier than dirty white >sandals... > > For all our sakes, please don't keep this to yourself - pass >it on to other Sisters. > > May God Bless your Soles as well as your Soul!
