Keep your nasty toes out of profile pics

It's Memorial Day weekend which, across NJ--both "down the shore" and up in North Jersey---is seen as a symbol of the start of summer. Today's weather was in the low 70s with photo-worthy blue skies, fleeting white clouds, and an occasional refreshing breeze. It truly was a "picture perfect day."

All over Facebook, people have been posting photos of themselves either poolside or oceanside. Most of these photos have been painfully similar. The focal point is a lovely beach or pool scene, however, in the foreground of these photos exists a pair of feet...sometimes the pair of feet extends upward and the viewer gets a little bit of leg. Either way, these photos are annoying and incredibly unattractive.

Case 1: The photographer's feet (these photos do tend to also be "selfies") featured bright pink nail polish, faded off on some nails and prominent on others. Gross.

Case 2: Paley McPalerton. The photographer's feet were pasty as anything. The legs were long and bird-like. I wondered if an ostrich had somehow grown human feet and was enjoying a poolside drink and sunning session.

Case 3: Eww. Someone posted photos of a beautiful, postcard beach scene...but her feet were incredibly nasty. The toes were not painted and, for that matter, were not even filed down to a normal length. The toe nails' lengths were uneven and reminded me of a monster from one of of those Pixar movies.

I don't know why girls tend to post these feet and beach/pool pics. My guess is that the photos are supposed to be whimsical and cute, but they are just the opposite to me. Unless you just got a pedicure and have an ultra cute design on your adorable little toes, simply give me the beautiful beach/pool scenery---- minus the inclusion of your nasty feet...or...in some case, what looks to be hooves.
