When I went to see Vivet who does my nails figuring, I’d have to wait till August to get a pedicure since women’s toes are chomping at the bit, she surprised me when she said…
“I’m free now.”
I expected The Nail Nook to look like a scene from Ben Hur, but it was quiet.
“People are still afraid,” she said.
My feet however, laughed and said, “Not us baby.”
So masks in place like bank robbers at a spa, me and a chef, named Marcel, soaked like we won the Derby.
I’ve met Chef Marcel before after admiring his Louis satchel the size of a steer, a bag, he claims you can only order from Paris.
It didn’t sound right to me as we compared polish choices…Macaroon for him, Watermelon Pink for me, since short of a kidney, you can get anything on Amazon, but Connecticut naturally weighed in, zipping her naked lips.
Speaking of…will gloss be a thing of the past like dinosaurs and pay phones ya think, masks making it rather obsolete?
But hey, that’s another essay, and besides, lets stay where are feet are, as they recommend in 12 Step.

How nice to have the tootsies taken care of. And it’s funny, I was thinking the same thing. Will all my lipsticks go bad from being abandoned?

You nailed that one, Susannah. I laughed when imagining everyone wearing masks in the nail salon.

it was NASA, if they opened a spa. The workers all had on white, flight suits…gloved, masked…spraying your hands and feet before they touched you. I just sat in wonder, as if I were in a SCI/FI flick, working as an extra.

That is impressive. I hadn’t thought what a salon would look like these days. The workers in my hair-cutting place were masked, and they disinfected the chair after each customer. The chairs had been removed from the waiting area. Other than that, everything looked normal.

Need watermelon pink to make it through the day, right? First thing ‘ya know, the ‘whoever’s in charge at the moment’ will make the rule we gotta’ keep those toesies under cover. Oh, and keep ’em under cover! Whoops…under cover could be very entertaining. Stay in the pink, Susannah!

I polish my own toes since I would never subject anyone to my ugly toes. I went to two different podiatrists. It isn’t a fungus so there is nothing to be done except bury them in the sand at the beach, ha ha!

I’ve gotten mani/pedis, year round my whole life, maybe even as a baby. it was AMAZING to have to look at my feet, especially, like they moved to the Congo. I’ve been humbled, feet first. 🙂

I’m with you, Skinny! Last year my kids gave me a big gift certificate for pedicures. I made the one in charge promise she would not laugh or cry while looking at my feet/toes. She was so nice and funny! She said hers for the absolute worst ever! I don’t show my toes either! Way to go! Bury ’em!

Hi there. It was like a lopsided miracle since, it was anything but relaxing…mask on, being sprayed like a giant mosquito…BUT…we’ve learned to make lemonade when given lemons, so…10 little piggies then went to market dressed in a noble pink.

I’ve never had a pedicure. I had a manicure, just once, when I broke a couple of talons plastering, just my right hand. I needed falsies for an imminent gig. I really enjoyed the experience but twenty quid for five GRP pluckers seemed a bit steep.
