F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Lotion is applied, and they're pushed back a bit, but they're not trimmed.

Mine are, but that's because I pick at them and my cuticles are pretty nasty.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had a wonderful pedicure in Fira, Santorini. After days of tromping around Crete the pedicurist had to haul out actual power-tools to deal with my feet. But they felt wonderful afterward.

Our wings are not tired.

I got it done in the Yves Rocher salon. I booked the appointment a few days ago, and was really looking forward to it, based on how pretty and clean the salon/store looked. Today I arrived and was led upstairs, into a hot, flourescent room and told to lie on a hospital bed. I don't think any of the nail files or implements used on me were clean or new, and the nail polishes were stored, all 15 or so of them, in a beat up plastic drawer thing. They were all at least a year old; cakey and gooey and awful. I kept hoping for the best, thinking she knew what she was doing; when I finally sat up and looked at my toes, I almost cried. I seriously should take pictures. There is nail polish in the middle of my toes, as an example. And the tops of my toes look like someone spray painted the Rockies and stuck them on the ends of my feet. Lesson learned.

Incidentally, I received the worst mani-pedi ever today here in Barcelona, and it was a little under $100. A very expensive mistake.

The mani-pedi I had in Seattle at the F2F stands as by far the best ever. Both the process and the results - that blue/black polish lasted on my toes without chipping for a month.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Brenda, where did you go?

It was next door to the liquor store with the sparkly pink vodka, if that helps, midway between the hotel and Pike's. Cheap, too - $30 I think?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Wasn't it called Queen Bee or something like that?

That sounds about right.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like having cuticles, and the idea of having them intentionally clipped and pushed back into the nailbed skeeves me out to no end.

Me too. I can't watch the manicurist work on my nails. I like the result, but I have to look away.

The mani-pedi I had in Seattle at the F2F stands as by far the best ever.

Word. I think it was indeed called Queen Bee.
