A nose job in the summer of 1996 gave me a new lease on life. I'm still really grateful that my parents not only allowed me to do it, but paid for it and cared for me in the rather uncomfortable aftermath (though they said my nose was "fine," made me "unique" and a load of other shiggedy that I didn't believe).
Anynose, after that was fixed I moved on to my second biggest hangup, which I am still stuck on and no surgery exists that will remedy the situation. I loathe my feet. And I kinda hate feet in general, but not if they are cute & clean. My feet are clean, of course. But they are all manner of fugly. Even a little OPI California Raspberry polish can't conceal the hideousness. I blame my mother for the width and I blame my father for my ugly toes. There, I've said it. It's out there, and there's no taking it back. Now you know why I hate summer (besides the fact that I sweat like a pig). Winter is my friend because no flip flops or sandals are involved.
I
HATE
MY
FEET!
**I accidentally hit publish at this point, and panicked. I wasn't done. But then I thought maybe I should just leave it as is. So I did. Except for this---
It could always be worse--my feet could look like this:
So what are your hangups? Or do you only have one?

Hey girl! I thought that I was the only one that hated her feet! I think that mine look at bit like old lady feet, bony and unattractive. They do look a bit better after a pedicure, but let's just say that even hubs is not an admirer. Sad, but true. You may have just inspired a blog post!
:)
PS Hope your Hanukkah was super!
Your feet are not that bad...now that second picture!?! Oh God. It's making my skin crawl. really. I can feel the hairs standing up on the back of my neck. Ugh.
I hate feet too. HATE THEM. My dad used to think it was funny to try and touch me with his feet because I'd freak out like you wouldn't believe. I just hate feet. I don't know why. There was a time in my life when I would have been more comfortable going topless than shoeless.
Fortunately, I got over that. :)
Oh gross, why did I have to scroll all the way down and see those nasty feet. LOL! Imagine? I am not a big fan of people's tootsies either to be honest. LOL!
Ugh, those ones at the end ARE SICK!
Your feet aren't bad. My friend has Flinstone feet. For real. Just big clubs.
You're feet are not bad! The bad ones are the last ones in your post. ick!
Thank you for the warning in your title. I am by no means a foot fan. Aside from my daughter's and any newborn baby's, don't bring yours (collective you) near me if they're not covered in socks, and even then ... be very careful. I thank an ex-boyfriend for somehow helping me past my fear of the open-toed shoe. See, my feet, aside from the pain they sometimes cause, I don't mind so much. And here in NC I live in flip-flops. Seriously. Never put them away, EVER. So it's a good thing I got comfortable so many moons ago.
As for those pics, your feet look fine to me (as long as they stay at a distance) but that second one I had to scroll past so quickly or I might have been physically ill.
Side-note, I finally posted the bling you passed on to me and I've showered you with love as I did!
I too find feet to be pretty dang nasty. I have always been pretty happy facially, but have, over the past few years in particular, racked up a whole list of could-be-better-ifs regarding my hideously stretched, mangled, and desecrated body. Sadly, by the time I save up the dough to make these dreams a reality, I will be too old to care. Anyway, thanks for coming over to the Dumb side today and remember, your feet make you, um...unique!
EEEEWWWW!!! (the 2nd set of feet, not yours) Your feet look just fine, though. You gotta love baby feet, though, right? I do. I sorta have an obsession for baby feet actually.
Coming from the woman with size 11 feet, I think yours are cute! Nothing to be ashamed of.
That second foot is hot.
I'm totally getting wood.
Wait. No. No, that's nausea. That's what that is.
Annnnnnd, there goes my lunch.
Oh lawrd, I was taking a bite of pizza hut pizza RIGHT when I saw your last picture. Not nice, lady! ;-) You feet look positively clean and adorable with the pink polish!
I love you until that last picture!! EW EW EW!!!!!
I hate my feet too. Other people's feet don;t bother me, unless they look like that last pic!! EEEWWWWW!!!
Are your toes separated on purpose? They're cute in a Hobbit sort of way. Oh, and I can spread my toes like that too! I can even pick things up off the floor with my "talons". I'm talented that way. Do your feet have any unusual talents?
(you know I'm just funning with you, right?)
Holy Hannah! Those 2nd feet are ungodly gross!!!! Wow!
Yours, on the other hand are not as awful as you may think, dear...
Oh and if it makes you feel any better, I inherited my mother's knees. Not cute at all...big ol' knee caps on my short little legs. Not a good match!
I have always hated how my ears stick out...being called Dumbo kinda sucks. Oh well...I don't have anyone to guilt into getting them fixed for me! LOL!
~WM
That was wicked gross Erin. Really....although the fact that it brought up my lunch again makes me one step closer to super skinny...guess I should say thanks?
What I really wanted to say before that fugly pic of feet (the 2nd one not the one with the great nail polish) is A NOSE JOB AND BOOBS...I hate you. It's official...your worst nightmare comes true. Its just not fair....thick hair, boobs and a new nose. We're done...over...broken up....capisce?
...just kidding...I still like you damnit!
Wrinkles. My friends kindly pointed out my first one . . . Nothing a little bit of face lotion with callogen in it can't fix I suppose . . . It's not too bad . . . As for your feet . . . Wear some cute open toed shoes over the summer. You know . . . The kind that just expose a little bit of your big toe and the one next to it. Voila! Fabulous and cute feet! :)
What an interesting family story... hmmmmm. I so like learning the little tidbits like that about my blogfriends. :)
Noooooooooooo - you're feet are great - ESPECIALLY compare to those other ones!! :)
you're kidding me, right?! first of all, i always LOVED blossom's nose. i think your nose now is very cute...but i would have liked your nose before because, if it was like blossom's, your folks were right...it was cute.
second...i have seen ugly feet and you do not have them. my hubs? ugly feet. like eagle talons. your feet are adorable and oh-so-pampered and polished. and you're right...it could always be worse. what is up with that second photo?! is that for real?!
Yeah gads! I hate feet. The only ones I like are baby/toddler feet. I want to divorce Hubs everytime I glimpse his. I'm literally getting nauseous from that last picture.
PS Your feet are fine.
PPS If your dad is still feeling guilty, he can buy me a nose job, too.
I am weird about people's feet. I could never work giving pedicures, because I would be like "Your feet are gross and I am not touching them." and then I would get fired. I screamed OUT LOUD when I saw that last pic...."Holy crap...oh my goodness!!"
Wow...the gay dad, the nose job, and the feet. I don't know which part was most interesting. Doesn't matter - it was all fun to read. :)
Visit my blog and tell me what your passion is.
I hate feet in general, so I completely understand. My thighs drive me nuts though. I lost 30lbs recently and I swear it was everywhere but in my thunder thighs.
LOL....I looooove that you worked your parents over. It's really the least they could do. ;)
Your feet aren't as bad as you think. We went for a girl's weekend to the beach and my friend was complaining about her feet and not wearing open toed shoes...ever. I told her it couldn't be THAT bad....but alas, she took off her shoes and showed me. A tiny little part (the mean and evil part) was happy. Cuz she's so gosh darn pretty and has the most amazing hair! It wouldn't be fair to have pretty feet too. Oh....and she wasn't kidding....they were fugly feet! I was shocked. Didn't even try to lie and tell her they weren't that bad. The look on my face gave it away before I could open my mouth.....
Hi Erin!! I'm so glad you stopped by my blog! I have a feeling I will enjoy yours, especially after reading this one..LOL!
Oh my gosh!! Those feet are soooooooooooooo nasty! Makes me feel good about mine now. But, I know how you feel about wide feet! Mine are super wide! Yours look pretty though!! :)
And do you remember when the girl from Dirty Dancing got a nose job? I hardly recognized her!!
Erin, I'm near gagging looking at that ugly foot photo you published (no I don't mean yours!).
For me, well I have big wide duck feet with a second toe that sticks out past my big toe (sorry no photo) and when I walk around in the snow in my winter boots, my prints look as if I am wearing snowshoes my feet are so wide.
We live close to a nursing home and when I see so many young people being pushed around in wheelchairs, I am very grateful for my ugly feet.
Now my short, stumpy fat legs, that an entirely different story!
My grandpa used to love to tell me that Lela & I had big noses when we were growing up. Especially when he'd see a picture of us together. Nice. He thought he was funny. And was NOT offering to pay for nose jobs - for me or for her!
***Ally
PS - I think everyone else made it clear that that last pictures was horrific. I used to work for a podiatrist. I've seen real live shizzle like that...
Ok, so glad I wasn't eating when I saw this post!!!
Your feet are not that at all. Seriously! That was just a bad angle. Nothing looks good when the camera is facing down on it.
My handup is my nose. It's not huge, just not cute or symmetrical. I am Catholic, so I don't have the Jewish excuse. No one else says anything, but it's still my own hang-up. And I seriously doubt your nose looked like Blossoms!!!

I honestly see nothing wrong with your feet. I like my feet, but I loathe my squishy mom-tummy. UGH.
A nose job....paid for by guilty parents...brilliant!
When I saw that last picture I think I made an audible gag noise then I looked away and quickly scrolled past it. N.A.S.T.Y!
My dad used to tell me I had buck teeth. Thanks dad.
Ok. As I sit here for the past hour telling my nauseous stomach that I am NOT getting the stomach flu my son had yesterday, you go and flash that nasty ass picture of lizard feet. Barf.
Your feet are cute! You're trippin'
love opi california raspberry and you DO NOT have fugly feet!
judging from this last pic, you seem like the kind of person that watches weird shows on TLC... if that's the case then count me in! i'm your newest follower! :)
I used to hate my feet, too, and really hated when everyone started wearing sandals all the time(in high school), but now, I just don't care and practically live in flip-flops...
despite Hubs telling me that I have "fingertoes" since my toes are so long- our boys have them, too!
OMG! I am hating you right now for that! OH GOD THAT WAS GROSS!
What is wrong with you. Bleh! Ugh!
THAT WAS WRONG!
But, I still love you. Forgiveness and all that.
i hate my husband's feet and mine are nothing terrific either. my hang up is my fat ass
Thank you for becoming my newest blog follower. I'm now following yours too. You had me at twins! Being that I'm an identical twin, I couldn't help but steal a peek at your girls. They are gorgeous and I'm sure they are loving being twins just like my sis and I have. (It never stops...and we are 46).
As for your feet...they aren't ugly, they are what I call personality feet. They have their own personality. It may be a sign of genius or something so if I were you, I'd embrace them! :)
You are BRILLIANT for using parent guilt to have your nose done ;o)
I see nothing wrong at all with your feet - they are cute. I 2nd 5th sister, can you do any tricks?? I use my toes all the time to pick up things from standing so I don't have to bend over!
XO

Your feet are cute and you are adorable...learn to love yourself GF! God made you and that is special...as special as you are!
OMG I hate my feet too and my curly kind of fourth toe thing. I think your feet look cute, love the polish!
I hate my boobs and would totally get a reduction done...actually, I just may do that and soon!
Oh I could SO use that pic to torment my husband! He hates feet.
I don't really have too many hangups. My butt is too flat, and my boobs are too big, and of course I need to lose weight. I'm no cover girl, but I don't feel like quasimodo either.
Disturbing...even my daughter let out a gasp! I know you won't believe me, but I think your feet are adorable! Love them Erin...welcome them into your heart...they carry you everywhere...they long to know your soul! Ok, that was too far...I know!! HOlly
I don't think there is any such thing as beautiful feet. From your picture I think your feet are perfectly fine. But you showed them and your nose. Where are the pictures of your boobs?
Holy S---...I cant stop laughing....and my daughter and hub..firstly let me say that your feet are adorable....still i know that cant change how you feel about them..secondly where did you get the other foot...? very curious..once in Penn Station in Manhattan we saw a foot like that on a homeless woman..very sad and we did not know what to do...needless to say we did not photograph it....so..who would let you take a shot of that...LOL...
Your feet are cute! And that's coming from a person who hates feet. Seriously, feet are gross.
My daughter has inherited her dads broad nose. Guessing a nose job is on the cards for her 18th bday.
I say, if something annoys you then go ahead and fix it.
(Cept for losing weight, for that you just have to get off your fat ass and run)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY did you have to GO THERE!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Not only did you do a post about FEET...but you posted that gnarly ass picture at the end! WHY?????
I'm going to go take a shower now.
I am still laughing about your "Anynose." Unexpected humor gets me every time. My feet were always one of the things I liked on me actually. I suppose my hang up is my butt. My brother would always sing "baby got back" in my honor when he was younger.
Your feet are cute. That last picture looks like my husband's feet! lol!
My hangup was my small feet. I always bought big shoes so my feet wouldn't looks so small. Then I found out that small feet are actually pretty and big feet aren't. Now, what do I do with all these size 7 big shoes?

Your feet are beautiful compared to Ward's! We call the "Fred Feet" because they look like Fred Flinstones from the cartoon. What is really sad, he passed them onto his daughter.
Oh that second picture made me gag a little! I don't like my hair. It's thin and fine. I can't do anything with it. I've always wanted long flowing hair (since I was a little girl, and asked for "big hair"). It never was to be. Alas. Luckily Miss Peanut has inherited her father's amount of hair with my texture (soft). Lucky Peanut!
(And I think your feet look absolutely fine! But I know how it feels)
(And this post really made me laugh!)
I will seriously not be eating the rest of the day thanks to that 2nd picture of a foot...oh goodness.
Oh my god, that last picture was horrifying!
I hate my chin. Not the double part of it that comes and goes. It's too square, I think it looks funny in pictures...
OMG! I am looking at the last picture and can't believe my eyes:) Your feet looks very good.
I found your blog through Deb (Menopausal New Mom)and following now:) Have a beautiful day!
I was good until that last photo!!!
I too ate my feet. They are too big.
But I've gotten better as I've gotten older. And it really helped that my husband rubbed them the whole time I was pregnant. So Sweet.
Your feet are cute!! I hate spider veins and wrinkles.
Ok, there oughtta be a warning before you show something like that last picture. I just had dinner, for pete's sake! *hurgh!*
There will always be SOMETHING about yourself you don't like. For me, it's only one thing - the space between my lower eyelashes... and my ankles.
Happy Hanukkah - and I expect your haiku next week, Madam! heehee... ;)
Happy Hanukkah!! Love the pics but the feet ewww lol!! I hate anything to do with nasty mouths. I am a nurse and can take just about anything but actually gag when I have had to clean them :O
...sorry I had to runoff and vomit after that last photo. Your feet don't look bad...I too have bad feet..I really wanted cute little sandal feet, but I don't have them.
You look like you have a perfect nose now!
Dang, what are you talking about? Your feet are cute. As feet go.
And I cannot get that last picture out of my head. Thanks!!! EWWWWW
OMG, Erin!!! You are right, hun, it could always be worse! That picture is vile!!!
I, too, had the ole nose job! Best thing I ever did. Now if I could just fix those pesky skin issues, dark undereye circles, and baby fine hair I'd be perfect!
Ahhhh I am going to have nightmares about those feet!
I love your feet! They are cute! I am a feet love though. However,the feet have to be clean and toe nails cut for me to like!
Oh no you din't...arrggghhh!!!! I'd like a chin job but although we had all kinds of shit over my parents divorce no one paid for any chin removal!! boo hoo.
. Sad, but true. You may have just inspired a blog post!
Work from home India
It was very interesting for me to read the post. Thank you for it. I like such themes and anything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read a bit more on that blog soon.
Pretty interesting place you've got here. Thank you for it. I like such topics and everything connected to this matter. BTW, why don't you change design :).
I have hangups too. Your feet are normal to me. But, I know that there are things about me that I see as out of the ordinary or that are considered so. Try not to focus on it (easier said than done). Do what makes you comfy- if socks and shoes make you comfy I say go for it. But if you prefer sandals.. forget about everyone else and do it. =)
Hey Erin! for some reason your response went to my SPAM folder and I just found it (along with hundreds of other responses I never saw!) Any time someone asks me if I "could have plastic surgery on anything what would it be" I always say my feet! I'm sure I could find some brilliant plastic surgeon who would "try something new" or "set a new trend" and fix my feet for the right price! I didn't wear sandles or flip flops until I was in my mid thirties. serioussly! I could go on and on...
