[image_with_animation image_url=”10630″ alignment=”center” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”] My last post was about Botticelli’s Squidgy Feet. In that post, I described Venus’ feet:
“These hams are worms. Those are some long second toes, a sign of intelligence, say some. A second toe as long as a finger can be a very attractive feature…”
The next day I received a letter from a V. Note subscriber:
Botticelli‘s feet are ugly.
Unfortunately mine are exactly like them :(. I have trouble wearing sandals in the summer.
But if I now think that they are like Botticelli’s design, as strange and ugly as they are, it makes me feel better.

I do not think your feet are ugly. Those are beauteous twinkles. Botticelli did not do them justice.
