She can't stand the sight of mandals. <B>raymond</B>: Toes are in right now. I know at least one person who had <a HREF="http://www.footnewyork.com/baphotos.htm" rel="nofollow">corrective toe surgery</A> to make her feet prettier. Ahhh, Vanity. It's just as American as unprovoked, aggresive military action. ;) rcknrobin: You’re like my friend Mags. She can’t stand the sight of mandals.

I shook my head.

But, the first time that I saw a couple walking completely barefoot in an urban grocery store, I was a little freaked out. Andy: leather flip-flops, T-shirt, and blue jeans? S-E-X-Y!

Like MamaChristy - I live in Texas - it's a moot point they come out even when they shouldn't. A guy friend of mine wears them YEAR round!!! (YUK) That drives me nuts...in the winter on the occasional cold day he does the sock thing... ugh! I love to go barefooted **gasp!** so is barefoot better or worse than the mandals/sandals? Bro - hands and feet are the first things Notice - (uhm... when they have sandals on... I don't go up to strangers and DEMAND to see their feet.... LOL)... and I admit - I like feet. Although that awful commercial for antifungal cream where the virus is singing and.... I can't go on AG!!!ACCCKKKK!!!

(It's the California boy in me.) But I don't like mandals/Jesus Sandals. I think all those straps and buckles are too fussy. Hey, I wear flip-flops to <I>avoid</I> fussy. I read a nice little recommendation in <I>GQ</I> (ooh-la-la!) on the topic of sandals. The magazine recommends leather flip-flops for men, which I think is sharp paired with a T-shirt and blue jeans. I think I'll pick up a pair this summer. I admit I like flip-flops. (It’s the California boy in me.) But I don’t like mandals/Jesus Sandals. I think all those straps and buckles are too fussy.

I think the problem is with the guys that don't wear them properly, not the mandals themselves. :) I'm determined to convert you. Next time you come to NYC, we'll go mandal-hunting, okay? As we walk down the street, I'll point out the guys that are actually wearing them properly. I'm not joking! Get ready. <B>Pegs</B>: Jesus Slippers? That's so cute. :) <B>Raymond</B>: Toes of Adonis aren't necessary for mandals. But, men with fungus should remove it before making attempts to wear mandals. <B>Jay</B>: You said, <I>"Quite frankly if a guy's hot I couldn't care less what the hell his sandals look like."</I> My goodness! Have the Americans taught the world nothing?!?! Vanity, shallowness, and superficiality are EVERYTHING!!! :) Berry: I *love* your Public Service Announcement.
