Is this why Chris Wysocki never takes off his shoes?

August 22, 2012

Seriously, have you ever seen Chris with bare feet? Nakedfrom the ankles down?

The story:

Cory Booker, the Newark, New Jersey, mayor and well-disciplined surrogate for President Barack Obama…

Oh, he was “well disciplined,” all right – we’ll come back to that.

…revealed an interesting personal detail during an interview with Dujour magazine for its September issue:

‘Being a public figure, people talk smack about you, so I found this 24-hour mani-pedi place and go in the middle of the night. It’s this guilty pleasure I have. Look, manis are good, but pedis—there’s something…transformative.’

Yeah, man, those pedicures…they really do it for you. Let’s hope Mayor Booker never discovers the full body wax.

Cory Booker is, of course, the Democrat who first defended Bain Capital from Obama/Democrat/wingnut liberal attacks…

“I have to just say from a very personal level, I’m not about to sit here and indict private equity,” Booker said. “To me, it’s just this — we’re getting to a ridiculous point in America, especially that I know. I live in a state where pension funds, unions and other people are investing in companies like Bain Capital. If you look at the totality of Bain Capital’s record, it ain’t — they’ve done a lot to support businesses, to grow businesses.”

…then backed off his defense when somebody showed him the Official Democrat Playbook of 2012.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course. If that’s who you really are – an establishment Democrat whose most strongly held convictions can be quickly squashed by the cannibalistic hemp-wearing progressive hordes just waiting for somebody to step over the line – then that’s who you are: a man who gets his nails done – all twenty nails – at a 24-hour “mani-pedi place.”

Say, do they need a cosmotologist’s license for that?

UPDATE – I am reliably informed that Chris Wysocki does, in fact, frequently wear open-toed sandals, but only with socks.

UPDATE II - I am more reliably informed that Chris Wysocki sometimes does ditch the socks when wearing sandals, which, really, that’s just sense. Because you’re not going to spend all that money on a pedicure and then just hide it, right?

    I have heard from reliable sources that Chris DOES Booker’s mani-pedis. Mani-pedi… isn’t that the secretary in the James Bond movies?

    Who knew Lance has a foot fetish?

    You’ll have to take my word for it, I do indeed occasionally go without socks, usually on Casual Fridays. I think I’ll pass on the photographic evidence though. And I’ve never had a mani-pedi!

    True story – one Christmas I walked into the nail salon my wife frequents with the intention of buying her a gift certificate (yes, for a mani-pedi). The girls all recoiled in horror and fled to the back of the shop. Apparently men don’t go in there. One girl, I’m guessing she was the manager, timidly approached me and asked if I needed help. When I said I wanted to buy a gift certificate she got a big smile, said something in Spanish to the other girls, and everything went back to normal.
