Why I Love My Ugly Feet

Last night, Strange Creepy Salsa Man made a comment about my long, finger-like toes. Many years ago I was forced to accept the fact that my feet are not my best feature. Whenever I get a pedicure, I fear that the Vietnamese ladies are discussing where my feet rank among those also hit with the ugly stick between. Yes, they support me in dancing night after night, but no, they (my feet) aren’t cute and dainty. But, then again, what role has girly-ness played in any woman’s success and happiness? Over time, I have come to see that the women I admire and, in many ways, seek to emulate, don’t really play up cute and dainty.

I remember when I was a teenager in the 80’s and Madonna was on the rise. Or, rather, had been on the rise, but was on her way to becoming the monolithic powerhouse that she still manages to be. At the time, she was on the Blond Ambition Tour and critics were shredding her not-so-demure masturbation scene, and disparaging her whole shameless bad girl schtick. I remember seeing one commentator, an older man, state that he believed that there was something wrong with her, and that soon she would start showing signs of emotional instability and, possibly, suicidal tendencies. I remember wondering, at 14, if such was the fate of any woman bold enough to express herself, her sexuality, and make, well, lots of cash in the process.

Well…flash forward twenty years and Madonna may be a lot of things, but suicidal does not seem to be one of them. Consuming excessive amounts of the drug can lead to a feeble erection. best price on levitra The only difference in cialis viagra canada http://amerikabulteni.com/2011/07/26/amerikan-futbolu-ligi-nfl%E2%80%99de-mutlu-son/ is the way thick, hard, manageable erections happen. buy cheap levitra http://amerikabulteni.com/2012/01/17/burger-king-has-quietly-begun-testing-home-delivery/ Why call it an alternative form of medicine, not many will immediately support it but a doctor’s qualifications and the effort of chiropractic boards are big help in giving consumers a peace of mind about chiropractic. While not originally intended to diagnose, cure, treat, or generic cialis prescriptions prevent any particular disease, many women are reporting very favorable results for treating their sexual problems. Great body, a ten+ year marriage, kids, and more money than God. If that’s the product of emotional instability, then it’s time to quit seeing my shrink…

Many have some negative reactions Hilary Clinton, too (in case the media hasn’t made that clear), and in the past few days (for those who live in a wireless cave) have all but called her a delusional hysterical psycho-bitch who should hide her face in shame for daring to follow the democratic process. The tone of a lot of these articles reminds me of the commentator guy who said that Madonna would probably soon try to kill herself in 1986. Something tells me that the chances of Hilary disappearing from the political sphere are as likely as Madonna ever offing herself or my toes shrinking and my feet getting cute. Not everyone likes it, but certain things aren’t changing.

There used to be some doubt, but I’m starting to think that the rancor and hostility directed at women that I admire, (would someone tell Ted Kennedy to go fuck himself?) is not the result of objectivity. And, I think some of that got projected onto my feet last night by Strange Creepy Salsa Man (fucker).

Just for today, I can love my ugly feet.
