You Wore Flip Flops to the White House?!
So, I'm going to start to treat flip flops as a bona fide research project. I'll just do a little bit every day and, before to long, this will blossom. Here is my first find. I can't believe how easy it is to dig stuff up on this subject. Okay, so these girls decided they really wanted to show off their pretty feet in the White House. This story is dated, 18 July 2005:
(AP) The latest White House flip-flop controversy has nothing to do with President Bush and John Kerry.
After Northwestern University's national championship women's lacrosse team visited the White House, a group photo showed several players wearing flip-flop sandals along with their dresses and skirts.
A controversy quickly followed, with one front-page headline quoting an e-mail sent to a player: "YOU WORE FLIP-FLOPS TO THE WHITE HOUSE?!" Family members of other players were also dismayed, saying the footwear was too casual for a visit with the president.
The young women, meanwhile, are trying to turn the controversy around. The players plan to auction off their White House flip-flops -- and give the proceeds to a ten-year-old girl with a brain tumor.

You have nice feet. One can say much from the feet of another.
I love wearing flip-flops, especialy at the beach, have three pairs of Adidas Adisage flops which I wear with shorts or with jeans, even to church.

Varsity Jock, you sound like a big brute in your blog. I should shove my feet in your face--and you would like it too. So, what can you tell from someone's feet? I like Adidas flip flops on guys. They probably look very sexy on you.
