If ‘Aim’ doesn’t take you shoe shopping, I might have to!

Although, here’s support for why Reefs are A-OK: http://sippy9cup.livejournal.com/299346.html?mode=reply

As a dedicated high heel enthusiast and a once and former frequent visitor to a podiatrist, I’d say: Shoes (high, sandaly, pointy, strappy = yes, sexy and a turn on to a certain type of people.) Feet: Nicely kept and manicured is good, but NEVER sexy.

Also doctors of the booty/GI tract have it way, way, worse as far as what they deal with, but to choose feet? Something must be wrong, somewhere. Feet are not to be…sexualized, fetishized, or otherwise revered unduly. Any rate, I’ll be forever grateful to my old podiatrist for saving me from months of agony and uncurable ingrown toenails. Minor surgeries made a major difference to me.

I’m still stuck on the sweaty gym shoe porn comment. How can anyone not be stuck on that? Shoes are great and all, but sexy shoes, not sweaty gym shoes. Speaking of which, I should go to a podiatrist. Maybe they could make my feet slightly more attractive.

Sometimes it is better not to ask–I recently had my first brazilian and asked (Why? Why did I ask?) the waxer how she felt about doing waxes, and whether she had planned on being a waxer when she went to waxy-beauty school. Her answer?
“No, I went to do skincare, but this is part of being an esthetician. I guess I don’t *mind* doing it.”
After that I felt terribly guilty and felt obliged to be very brave and make jokes the whole time. Sigh.

On the topic of worst jobs ever, I would have to say “rest stop janitor” would be the worst. I bet they have to clean them really late at night which would totally freak me out.

Okay, I have no desire to be either a podiatrist OR a dentist, but I’d do either of those before I’d be a bikini waxer. At least they keep people healthy, make good money and get to call themselves “Doctor.” I REALLY don’t understand what makes someone want to regularly rip all the hair off a stranger’s private parts. Ewww.

Dentists have the highest suicide rates. Not to mention horrible muscoloskeletal problems from doing fine motor skill work bent over patients. Often they don’t make it to retirement. When’s the last time you saw a 60 year old dentist?

I would rather see somebody’s genitalia than their feet! Both are ugly, but feet are worse. So I am “with you” in not understanding why somebody would choose podiatry. However, I think that podiatry or chiropody is quicker than med school. For instance, there are a lot of chiropodists about, but only one MD trained podiatrist in my city!

Yes, the dentist thing freaks me out more, too. I mean, really, who wants to put their fingers inside someone else’s mouth? Ugh….
A long term past boyfriend of mine is now an ob-gyn and that kind of freaks me out, too.
