Welcome to Rocktober!

October is the best month. Not only is my birthday in it, as well as the birthdays of a slew of other fantastic Libra friends of mine, but it has Halloween, Columbus Day, and the real advent of Fall. By the way, my birthday is this Friday, and I do have an Amazon wish list.

The real reason I want to write about October is that it is time to put away the open-toed shoes, ladies and gents. Can the flip-flops (nasty things that they are on most people), the Chinese mesh slippers I've already ranted about, the Birkenstocks, the open-toed pumps, and anything else that showcases your bare feet. (Of course, this is strictly daytime advice, because a woman with a nice pedicure and very appropriate shoes for dress and occasion can get away with it at night. Still not recommended though.) For one, you have gross feet. You never get a pedicure, and that ashy big toe look has never been in. It's chilly outside, and when you wear flip-flops and a sweater outside of the beach, you look like what you are. A big dummy. And don't try to get around it by wearing hose or socks underneath, because that is just twelve kinds of wrong and you know that, so why are you trying?

Give up the ghost people. Payless is having a great sale on cute boots right now, so you have no excuses.
