I'm writing this while my feet are wrapped snuggly in my Birks for two reasons: 1) Its cold outside today 2) Even if it were sunny, my toenails aren't polished.

Further to this discussion I would like to add a few thoughts.

When I was visiting my mother, a brought along a friend who was wearing blue fingernail polish. Mom said, "Nice friend but I hate the nail polish." My friend said, "Wait til it starts chipping. Maybe she'll like that better."

Men should invest some money in a pedicure. Women like that. It looks like you actually take care of yourself.

Tevas are great for the summer. Saltwater doesn't hurt them and its much easier to get into the water when there are lots of rocks, oysters and barnacles. You can also walk comfortably in them.
