More Men Should Get Pedicures


I have to admit, I've always thought I had great feet for a guy. Despite playing football for years my feet stayed soft and attractive, even if they didn't smell the greatest. My wife was 9 months pregnant with our son when some friends asked us to go to a Badger Basketball game. The due date was nearing and we were going crazy so we took any distraction we could get.

The game wasn't for a couple hours and we were in Madison about 40 minutes from home. So we decided to stay and kill some time. My wife wanted to get a pedicure so I said, "let's do it." We walked into the place and an asian woman told us to pick out the colors we wanted. I had planned on getting a pedicure but not painted. I decided, what the hell.

I picked out Badger Red and White. The ladies laughed at me but sure enough they gave me the pedicure and painted my nails Red and White. I had them alternate every other toe so that the red and white stood out a bit.


I'll admit it was a bit of a surprise the next morning when I tiredly went to hop in the shower and I looked down and saw painted toe nails. But it wasn't long before the shock wore off. My new painted toes grew on me quite a bit.

My nails grew and soon the red and white were nearly gone. Just six weeks later a good friend had a bachelor party in Arizona. We were all heading down for the Brewers spring training games. I decided to show my team proud and found a great match for the brewers Blue and Gold. The first day I broke out my sandals I had forgotten that men don't normally paint their toes. I had been looking at painted toes for a couple months now. When one of the other guys noticed it, I was greeted by a "What the fuck is that!?" I casually responded, "What? They're Brewers colors."

I got a hassle but it soon passed. I enjoyed the pedicures and painted toes much more than I disliked the occasional comments I got from people. It makes me laugh when I forget I go to the doctors or get a massage and they are shocked to see them. It's quite fun to see peoples reactions.

I recently went out with my wife to celebrate a long 2 weeks during my job transition. Most couples do dinner and movie. We did pedicures and a steak house. I have to give Polished Nail Bar in Milwaukee a plug. They did a Sugar Scrub, a Paraffin Wax Peel, and a great massage. I could feel the softness in between my toes for several days. It was fantastic. They also had the Badger Football game on the big screen so I didn't have to miss the game.


This time I went with Black and Orange for Halloween. They orange even glows in black light. The best part of painting your toes is that you only have to show the people you want to. I refer to it as "my own personal weirdness." My two year old son loves to go toe by toe and say what color each one is.

But my nails are starting to grow out a month later. So what color should I go with next? I need some suggestions.

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
