When I’m feeling stressed out or I need a pick me up, I treat myself to a spa pedicure. As you know, I despise feet. I don’t even like to touch my own. However, I have no problem with people touching mine. In fact, if I didn’t have someone work on my tootsies on a regular basis, they would be horrifying.
By the time my lunch break came around today, I was exhausted. It was too hot to sleep in my car (what, you know you’ve done it), and I felt like I’d crashed on my brother’s couch too much lately. As I walked through the parking lot, I tried to figure out what to do with myself – I certainly wasn’t going to stay at work. That’s when it occurred to me that I should go to the nail salon down the street. I could sit in one of those awesome massage chairs and maybe get a longer foot massage and rest in air conditioning. Perfect.
The nail salon near my office is very clean and new, and everyone that works there is extremely friendly and good at their jobs. I picked out my color (Give Me A Coral Sometime) and sat down in my spa assigned massaged chair. I leaned it back as far as it would go, put the massage setting on “auto” and closed my eyes. My pedicurist was fantastic, she gave me an amazing foot and leg massage – so good that I actually ponied up for the extended ten minute rub. Getting my tired legs and feet worked on while the massage chair does it’s thing on my back is a great way for me to unwind.
I really didn’t think about much of anything when I was sitting in the chair. I forgot how completely silly a person looks in a massage chair. As the rollers glide up and down your back, your body is pushed forward in a rather suggestive manner. This particular chair had rollers that would glide up about an inch and a half, then shake back and forth, causing my body to shimmy from left to right. It felt awesome. I completely forgot that I was wearing a wrap dress that was juuuuuust a little too big on top.
I remembered I was wearing a wrap dress that was juuuuuust a little too big on top when my pedicurist gently placed a towel on my chest. My eyes popped open to see her smiling at me, and she said, “Your dress. It opened.” I peaked under the towel and yeah – my bra and boobs were completely exposed. They’d been jiggling back and forth while the massage chair made my chest do the stripper shimmy. I looked around the salon to see how many people had seen my free show. The women in the chairs to either side of me all had their eyes closed. Phew. But then I looked at the other pedicurists sitting at the foot of each chair, facing toward me. They were all grinning – including the two men who worked in the salon.
When I paid at the front, I felt like I should have been tipped instead of my pedicurist.

Not one dollar bill stuffed in your bra? You were ripped off!
Guys work at nail salons?!? I learn something every day here.
Daddy Dans last blog post..Daddy Dan Interviews…..Terri Terri Quite Contrary
Not THAT’S a nail salon I would go to.
Wait. Is it almost 1am? What in the hell am i saying? Please don’t hold me to anything.
I know that’s going to happen to me next time I go to the Man Spa. My junk is going to be wobbling and flying everywhere and I’m going to be oblivious until Linda taps me on the shoulder and says “sweety, you’re sharing what should be mine and mine alone.”

I hate feet too, but I also hate pedicures.
My fear of feet is deep seated and I’d tell you why it started, but you truly do not want to know.

Damn. You mean you paid for painted toes and the men just wanted to look at your boobs? Men never notice when you’ve had anything new done.

Susans last blog post..Blessings – Part 4 Or QVC Featuring Children
See, I was all embarassed because the last time I went for a pedicure, the guy gave me a calf massage and I had forgotten to shave. You totally topped me, though.
Funny funny funny. Thanks for letting us in on your embarrassing moment. Keep ‘em coming! I mean, gosh, I hope nothing embarrassing ever happens to you again.
Hilarious! And go you for taking it in stride.
Becky Mochafaces last blog post..Hump Day Humor: Man Meets Bench
Yes, you should have been paid. You probably gave those men something to fantasize about if their Playboy or Penthouse subscription is out. LOLOL!
Too bad you didn’t find a few singles sticking out of your bra later!
hmmmm… as I was reading this, I was eating a Dove chocolate. It’s message? “Get your feet massaged” – is the universe telling me something? I think so.
Zs last blog post..Mental Composition
I love pedicures. They are the one extra thing I give myself. I’ll have to keep an eye out for those massage chair, though, make sure it doesn’t get frisky on me.
