TOE SOCKS

Post by Turnip » Tue Jul 26, 2011 8:54 pm

I'm looking for between 15-20 pairs of toe socks!
You know, those socks you get in your christmas stockings, wear a few minutes then take off as soon as the novelty wears off?

Looking online, I found the average price is about $10 per pair. That is well outside my price range.

I'll take used socks, but nothing with holes! It doesn't matter if they match, or if you have an odd amount. I'll rock them either way. 8)

Contact me if you are willing to mail me some of your glorious toe socks.



(Why toe socks? My primary foot wear of choice this year will be flip flops with toe socks during the day, and Walmart Knockoff Ugg Boots at night. I'd like to change my toe socks at least twice a day.)


I swear to god I'm not some sort of foot fetishist. :lol:

I see your game, sinister Mademoiselle Turnip . . . you libertine. :lol:

If you don't get any offers, try Walgreen's, WalMart, or Dollar stores (maybe start there), Ross, and TJ Maxx. I can't swear they're there, but that's where I'd try.

Huh. I actually have some, but the finger tips are all cut off because I wear them as arm warmers.

I hope you saved those cut off parts to pass out to the shirt cockers on cool evenings.

I would be too busy laughing at their tiny, tiny penises to remember to give them one.

I know what playa foot is.

In 2009 I wore loose fitting skater shoes and knee high socks. Within 15 minutes my feet were already as dusty as if I weren't wearing shoes. In 30 minutes, the dust mixed with the moisture from my sweaty feet (yes, girls sweat! :o) and I was walking around with pliable playa clay balls stuck to my toesies. If anything, I want to avoid the playa clay being inside my shoes.
The dust apparently doesn't bother me. But then again, I was sort of religious with my nightly vinegar soaks and sleeping with my socks on after loading my feet up with magical, thick as china-buffet tapioca pudding, dry skin lotion.

If anything, the dust destroyed my fingernails and cuticles.

Ah cool. Just a friendly warning. Sounds like you have it well in hand. :)
Personally I love my steel toed boots, but then I also wear them everywhere. :D

I'm either barefoot or in boots. Never done the vinegar bath, either. Which reminds me, I need to start walking around barefooted more...oh, I did get some of them hippie toe Vibram shoes to try out, this year.

I think I still have some socks, but I have no idea where, and they weren't toe socks anyway.

I was at the local swap meet here in SD and saw a ton of toe socks at various vendors. Worth a shot if you've got on close to you. =)
