These are my feet, freshly pedicured.

Seriously?

This all reminds me of a story…back when I was freshly living in Buffalo, my parents were in town visiting. We went out to grab a quick lunch, and a man approached me. He told me that he was a student at the University at Buffalo who was writing a book about Reflexology.

“We need a foot model for the book,” he said. “I think your feet would be perfect.”

He asked for my email address and told me that he’d send me a sample chapter and some more information, so that I didn’t think he was crazy. I gave it to him and he wrote (chapter and all).

His next step was to ask if he could take some test shots of my feet to send to his editor. “We can do it at UB,” he said.

Weird? Maybe…but he seemed harmless, and he suggested meeting in a public place. I asked a coworker to go with me, just in case, and we met in in a classroom at UB. I took off my shoes, and he took some pictures of my feet. He told me I’d hear from him.

I never heard from him.

Afterwards, I felt kind of like Charlotte in that episode of Sex and the City, where she meets the foot fetishist in the shoe store:

(not very good quality and subtitled in…Chinese? I’m not sure…)

Before this, I never really thought of my feet (or anyone else’s, for that matter) as sexual objects. I don’t mind my feet, and I don’t dislike having my feet touched as some people do, but that’s really as far as it goes. But what the heck…if my feet can bring people some pleasure, who am I to deny them? 😉
