Gross or fucking gross?

Some woman was just on the local NPR talking about her toe ring business. She said she used Windex as a lubricant when putting them on her customers toes. ?!?!? Can't people put on their own nasty toe rings.

bleargh.

ARRGH! all the field hockey girls in high school wore them with their tevas/birkenstocks. dud beyond belief.

Would you prefer they wear socks with their tevas?

they did that, too. complete the look with a matching patagonia fleece.

I find it hard to imagine wanting to decorate my feet - which are really not very pretty - with jewelry.

Not a fan.

maybe ankle bracelets. but not toe jewelry. And I think ILX hate for socks/sandals has been well-documented.

I can sort of imagine that toe rings might be okay under some set of conditions -- after all, a human body is a human body, and decorating it is one of our favorite things to do, depending on what we find desirable. However, the conditions to make toe rings okay do not exist in my life, or that of anyone I know or can imagine seeing in public and so MASSIVE dud.

Some people's feet are horrible, so put them away. Other people's feet are great, and so decorating them is absolutely fine, no different to painting toenails.

Toe rings can be kinda cute, but tramp stamps are totally dud.

Upon reflection, here's how I feel about them...

Some girls have CUET feet, and a toe ring might serve as a nice accent thereto. However - the ring must be kept clean and not serve as a collection device for any of the nastiness that can occur b/t toes.

Toe ring on dudes? DUD to the DUD Degree.

This just illustrates why they are a complete and utter no.

i had a crush in 7th or 8th grade on a girl that wore an ankle bracelet.

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

i mean: brown birkenstocks with thick l.l. bean wool rag socks, those insulated shiny legging things that speed skaters wear (usually black), field hockey kilt, white l.l. bean turtleneck, patagonia fleece. blond ponytail optional.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

What about people with belly button rings... AND ankle bracelets?

― UART variations (ex machina), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

Lauren, I know EXACTLY what you mean, it's like that in West Michigan ALL THE TIME (minus the kilts). Although we didn't have a field hockey team so it always held a certain mystique for me.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

fleece can be subbed with a pullover columbia windbreaker.

Wouldn't you be better off just cutting arm holes in a sleeping bag and wearing that?

I'm hoping toe piercings come into vogue.
Actually, stigmata should be the craze!
Liver piercings!

― aimurchie (aimurchie), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

back of the neck piercings are always good for a chuckle

got a thing for nasty shiksas with family names and jeep wranglers, gabb?

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 19:43 (eighteen years ago)

i'm not from the midwest

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 19:44 (eighteen years ago)

but aside from the fact that i don't know what a "family name" is, quite possibly

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 19:46 (eighteen years ago)

they basically all had names that were mom's maiden name or ancestors' surnames: carter, dwyer, lane, etc.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 19:49 (eighteen years ago)

i grew up on dwyer lane

yeah, maybe. you could also roll yourself up in a carpet and cut arm holes in it.

The only thing worse than a toe ring is my sister's tattoo that functions as a toe ring.
