Why I Paint My Toenails
Why do old ladies paint our toenails?
Yes, it's summer, and we wear sandals much of the time.
But why our toenails? Why not our finger-nails as well?
Look around you. Many of the older women of your acquaintance are wearing polish on their toes, but not their fingers.
WHY??
Our feet don't age.
Our hands now have age spots, raised veins, wrinkled knuckles, SIGNS we are old.
Our feet , at least our tows, do not bear those markers.
My toenails, for the past six or more months, have been glittering silver.
I tell people, "I may not be able to dance, but at least I have twinkle-toes!".
My feet don't show my age.
The rest of my body does.
I paint my toe-nails because it is one part of me that can still not only pretend to be young, but also seem to be so.
Long live pedicures!!
