I Had A Pedicure

My wife wanted a haircut so I found a place that could give me a pedicure at the same time. I sat in a row of six chairs all filled with women getting pedicures. There I was in the middle of them, listening to and joining in with their girl talk. While some commented on my choice of color, not one laughed or made a disparaging remark about my gender and what it might mean that I was getting my nails painted. At the end, the nail tech handed me the polish bottle and told me it was mine. So I went home and painted my fingers too. Then our neighbors came over to watch a tv show together. I flaunted my nails and toes. It was so cool.

I get pedicures all the time but have not worked up the nerve to ask the girl to paint my nails. Any words of encouragement. Also, what is it like to go out in sandals with painted nails? Any unkind remarks? I am going to the nail salon tonight for a pedi. Hope I can work up the courage to get my toes painted. Hugs

I have not had any negative reaction from people at the nail salon, even other patrons. I've never gone in public wearing sandals or other shoes that would show off my pretty toes. About the only reason my wife tolerates me getting my toes painted is she figures no one will see them cuz I wear shoes. But all my family and several people in the neighborhood have seen my painted toes. And I just love looking at them.

Very lovely. And you have pretty feet too. The paint is a nice added touch when wearing sandals.
