Well I had the most interesting time at my nail salon Saturday afternoon. I had a 3:00 PM appointment and got there a little early, so had to wait a bit. While I was waiting These four young women came in. You could tell that they were girlfriends. I watch as they select what polish they wanted and I struck up a conversation with this one girl. She then decided to change her color, which cause the others to wonder if they should change theirs. This one girl changed hers again, which started another round. I looked at
Her and said “your being bad”. She looked at me and then started to giggle and said “ You noticed”. Which I reply I ‘yep”. Then Tina my nail tech came and got me and started my pedicure. All of a sudden, I hear “Oh your getting a pedicure”. I looked to my left and here was the young lady I had been talking to getting into the chair next to me. I looked at her and said “Why not, men like to be pampered too”. She looked at me kinda funny the started giggling again. She said, “You right, men should be able to be pampered from time to time”. She then started talking about how nice it was to meet a
Man that was not afraid to let his guard down and just be himself. I then said, “ You know that even men have a feminism side, but most men don’t acknowledge it or expose it.” Her eyes kinda got big, and she then looked past me and said to her girlfriends, “ I like this man”. Which made me feel real good. She told her girlfriends what I had said to her and again they got wide eyed, looked at each other and then started making comments about how sensitive I was and that their boyfriends could take some lessons from me. I laughed and said “Thank you”. So as we got our pedicures, I noticed how nice they were dressed. These were not your average 20 year olds, so I commented on how nice their outfits were, how there hairstyles complimented their faces, and even went as far as to say how well their makeup complimented their outfits. Next thing I know we are chatting about women’s fashions, hair, and makeup and how men don’t notice things like that except for me. How nice it was to be able to hold a conversation with a man and not have it turn into a conversation about cars or sport. Again I laughed and said, my wife is always commenting about that. They said my wife was really lucky to have me, which I thanked them for the comment. One even said that if she could find a man even similar to me that she would drop her current boyfriend in a heartbeat. I laughed again and told her that there are others like me out there and to keep looking, she would find them. She blushed and reached over and squeezed my hand. Then the pedicure was over and it was time to get our nails done. So I went to Tina and the girls went to other stations. For the next 30 minutes we chatted away about this or that. Then Tina was almost done and asked if I wanted my nails buffed. I said “one moment” and I said “girls, I have a question for you.”. I held my hands up in the air and asked “Buff or Polish”, They came over and took my hands into theirs, looked at my nails, made comments about how nice they were and again how their boyfriends could take some lessons from me. Then as a chorus they said “Polish”. I said “OK, Clear or Color”. Again I get this wide eyed look from them and they looked at each other and again in chorus “COLOR”. One said "wait one moment" and went over to look at the selection of nail colors. Tina looks at me and says “Are you about this”. I looked at Tina and said “yep, I trust them”. She says “OK”. The girls come back and hand a bottle to Tina. One of them looks down at my feet, then at Tina and says “Toes too”. I started to say something and one of the girls says “girlfriend, if you do the nails you have to do the toes”. I just closed my mouth and stared at Tina. Tina gave me that “I told you so” look, lean over and said, “Your blushing”, and started putting the polish on my nails. Then I realized what the girls said to me and I got all giddy and just sat there as they watched Tina put the polish on my nails. Tina did one nail and then held my hand up so the girls could see the results. It was then I noticed that the polish was a light PINK and it didn’t look bad at all. The girls approved and Tina finished my nails and then started on my toes. While Tina was doing my nails and toes, the girls went back to their stations to get their nails finished. Tina finished me and I walked over to the drying station. They have one of those that not only do you put your hands under the light, but they have a light for your feet too. While we were sitting there letting our nails and toes dry, they started commenting on how well it complimented me. Again the conversation went to women’s fashions and such. When we were all dry, Tina came over and sprayed my nails and toes. She said it would allow me to put my socks and shoes back on. So I got my socks and shoes back on and as I started to leave the girls came up and each gave a hug and a peck on the cheek. I thanked each of them and when I left the nail salon, I felt like I was on cloud nine and I even had their email addresses to boot.
