Look at my foot!



This isn't even trying

I remember a couple times when my mum, my sister and my girlfriend have asked if i think their feet look pretty after they've painted their toenails. It's always a nice touch when a girl makes her feet look pretty, it adds character i guess. In a sense you can completely customize your feet by the colours and patterns you display on your toes. Society has completely changed the function of what the foot means. People don't look at their feet as their foot, instead they look at how their feet differ from everyone else's. 

'Consumer capitalism knows when it has a good thing going. Why limit the cosmetics, diet and surgery industries to female markets if you can convince men that their looks need constant improvement too.'  (Susan Bordo)

Personally i can't see this happening to most males, but i do think there would be a possible industry in the gay community as a lot of gay men tend to have female characteristics that they adopt. It's interesting in seeing how some people will go through so much so that they are happy with the way their feet look. Pedicure's, foot massages and most recently cosmetic foot surgery. The cosmetic foot surgery has become popular due to people’s increasing desire to opt for open-toed sandals. Previously, foot surgery was performed in response to the painful problems. But, now, the cosmetic foot surgery is performed to make the foot look presentable.

like this......!



I have to say these look like a nice pair of kickers
