Its almost time Sisters...prepare to take THE OATH The Sandal Oath Women, please raise your BIG TOE and repeat after me: As a member of the Faux Pas 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 not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholls if my feet need him. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I wont 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 wont 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 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 theyve 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. Reader comments: They are about $15 and worth EVERY penny. I say spend another $15.00 and get a even better one. 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 dont keep this to yourself - pass it on to other Sisters.
