France Nguyen get thee behind me!

If I break out into a chorus of "I Enjoy Being a Girl", please shoot me.

For whatever reason, call it my own brand of anarchy, call it boredom, I started doing girly things.

Like, agreeing to buy PRODUCT from my hairdresser. Those of you who know me well, know that I don't do that. I cut my hair short, specifically so all I have to do is wash and go - not even blow dry. But somehow, I ended up buying hair gel last Saturday. Not only that, I've agreed to try highlights next time I go.

I could have chalked it up to an aberration, except for what happened yesterday. I saw on the work calendar that one of my coworkers planned on a pedicure today. I made an offhand remark - basically to the effect of "gee, I should do that before I go to Mayhem so I can wear my (not girly) sandals and not have ugly toenails" and another coworker piped up. "Hey, let's go at lunch!" Instead of making excuses, I found myself saying, "Sure!"

So I did.

I had my first pedicure and I now have perfectly manicured, blood red toenails. The interesting part is that it was awesome! I've always been wary of this, because really, feet touching without it being part of a medical exam or well, intimate was really weird to me. Instead of being bizarre or feeling embarrassed, I felt pampered. I think I really needed that.

Next thing you know, I'll be wearing a skirt, on purpose, and without having to--no, wait, there is no need to go *that* far! Let's face it, the girly genes only go so far. I think I'll leave the rest of the girly stuff to Nan. ::g::

I do still have my geek creds though, as evidenced by my results on the "Which Heroes Character Are You" quiz. A hint: He's got Daddy issues and, like me, thinks swords are nifty.

Heee! Yes, you're definitely Hiro!

All this girly stuff? Have you checked your hormones recently? ::G::

Pedicures are Gifts From the Goddess... Mmmmmm...

[chickwriter.livejournal.com]

Hee, hormones - I used to have those...maybe there's a few of them lying about. ::g::

Hahaha! I just posted about this! And I know exactly what you mean. It's still not the most comfortable thing for me but nice looking toes are worth it!

[chickwriter.livejournal.com]

My toes are AWESOME! And the salt/honey scrub is to die for.

I think I've discovered a new obsession.

Hee! I'm so with you about not being very girly. Two weeks in a row, after Monday, I'll have worn a dress. That's just ultra weird for me. All these kids graduating. Hmph!

[chickwriter.livejournal.com]

Wow, a dress!! That's really girly. You win. ::g::

I love pedicures. I always feel so pampered after I have one. I went to one salon where they screwed up the appointment times and I had a simultaneous manicure and pedicure.I didn't know which sensation to focus on (and i felt a bit like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz)

[chickwriter.livejournal.com]

Wow - two things at once - I think I would have fainted from teh bliss.

I regularly get manicures, because it makes me feel so glamorous, at least from the nail perspective.

I'm funny about having my feet touched, so I absolutely have to feel 100% comfortable with the person giving the pedicure. And due to my special feet/leg issues, they can't use anything sharp on me and need to be very careful. I had my first pedicure here in California back in April -- took me over three years to trust my regular person.

But yes, a pedicure makes one feel so pampered and privileged. Warning though, they are addictive!

[chickwriter.livejournal.com]

Addictive is totally true - I'm already figuring out when I can go get my next one. :)

[allaboutm-e.livejournal.com]

Aw, you can be girly and still be my Hiro! LOL!

[chickwriter.livejournal.com]

Awwww!!!

I'll be your geek!Hiro anytime, cuz!!

It's fun to be girly on occasion, evidently...who'd'a thunk it?

My stepmom treated me to my first-ever pedicure when I was recently in Florida. I was leery for the same reasons you mentioned.

Frankly, I could do without the foot-part in the future, but the leg treatments/massage were out of this world. I nearly melted into the chair.
