Passed 2 Me Every Year. Passin on 2 my Sistas

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!
