Dear god, how very dare they!!?

Fab title btw. Fwiw I can't stand any thong/penisy/rubbing items between my toes so I just buy "normal" sandals.

I have a glamorous friend who looks absolutely fab in her white birkenstocks. (tall, slim, hair always beautiful). I would merely look frumpy.

SoupDragon · 17/06/2009 20:44

TBH I think I can live without a penis that looks like a toe-post thong.

MamaG · 17/06/2009 20:50

Tidey · 17/06/2009 21:06
