Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

On Friday, my friend Kristin in Houston innocently posted a picture of her Easter pedicure. And so, the fun resumes…

Dear Kristin (and mom), I can’t help myself. I have to be a troublemaker here. My mother has come across this phenomenon on Flickr. If you tag things as feet and toes, you will get LOTS of views because there are so many foot fetishists on Flickr… So I am so bad. I just tagged your pedicure picture on Flickr with both "feet" and "toes." It’s 6:30pm on Friday right now, and this picture has been viewed once. Now let’s see how many views it gets!!! Kristin, please forgive me. My mother and I end up talking about this more often than you could imagine! Plus, it’s a really pretty picture! If you see this as horrible and unforgiveable, I will remove the tags immediately! – Abby

Dear Abby (and Abby’s Mom), I told my sister about this. How do I tag her picture as feet and toes? Can you do hers too? The picture has already been viewed more times than any of my other pictures. Fifteen last I checked. Silly fetishists. – Kristin in Texas

Kristin (and Abby) – I feel certain you will receive hundreds of hits. Check this out: These feet and legs are 67 years old and have been viewed 277 times. My painfully swollen feet and legs from the same day have been viewed 162 times.  Even Mickey’s full body shot, labeled with "legs" has been viewed 64 times.  And who would have thought feet with Halloween socks would pull in 43 views? – Abby’s Mom/Sharon

Apparently, I can’t resist the urge to be amused by this phenomena either! Picture 1, Picture 2. – Kristin

And thus began the birth of the new Flickr group, Sexy Pet Toes! We invite everyone to join . Thanks for the laughs, Kristin and mom! 

Here’s a fine example of my ADD in action. I was checking Bloglines, and Jon from Bostonist had posted about the Pixies being on Henry Rollins this weekend, and so I decided to instant message him a thank you for the fine content. Then I went on to say that I had seen them in the Oberlin College gym. He asked if I had a ticket stub, since I’ve uploaded a few of those lately. I said I didn’t think I did. But then I started looking… And then I found it, took a picture, and uploaded it! And then there were so many more to upload. Half the day was lost taking pictures, uploading, tagging, then e-mailing the set around to all the people who I’ve been to gigs with over the years. The responses rolled in, and I had a fine time responding to everyone and reminiscing. I am still pretty sick, so I guess I can excuse myself for such slackerly behavior. Plus, most of Boston is celebrating Patriot’s Day (a holiday that’s new to me) on Monday, and I’m planning on working, so I can rationalize my low productivity, right? RIGHT?!! 😀

What is it about mid-April that makes me deal with ticket stubs?!

Dad has ’bout saved my life over the last few months. Unexpected breakup, stressful job, and the last few days, SERIOUSLY bad upper respiratory infection. And Mom just posted a great picture of him, so it’s easy for me to honor him. I never remember when father’s day is, but now seems as good as any time:

Thanks, Dad! I love you! 😀

Dearest Veronica,

I fear that I am a bit cash poor at present. Will this boa suffice in place of my lei on "Tiara and Lei" day?

Yours in crime,

Abby
