Stockings, Red Heels & a French Pedicure

I've just posted a new photo set featuring the work of a new photographer. I'm eager to hear some feedback on this set from anyone who has any to offer.

Stay tuned, I'll have more goodies for you later this week...

Long vs Short?

So for the past few months I've been wrestling with the issue of whether to keep growing my toenails or keep them at a short-medium length.

PROS
There seems to be a large demand in the foot fetish community for women who have both nice feet AND long toenails (and of course, are also willing to put them on display).  Perhaps it's a supply and demand thing like if you live in a community where women never show cleavage, the value of cleavage, when it's available, is increased.  I imagine there are more women out there with short toenails than long, which makes the long-toenail thing a bit of a rarity.

Whatever the source of this demand, I don't mind sharing my long toenails with the world when I have them.  I would love to please as many of my fans as I can, without having to sacrifice anything however...

CONS
There are several reasons why I am motivated to keep my toenails shorter:

a) My Lifestyle.  I am a runner and I also have ingrown toenails on my big toes.  Some days when I run, I feel a pinch of pain with every step.  When my feet suffer, I suffer.  Unhappy Feet = Unhappy Geisha.

b) Environment.  I live in a colder climate where I can't wear open-toe shoes all year long.

c) Social norms.  In social settings, having long toenails can be almost embarrassing when I catch people making rude comments about them being so long.  Some people find long toenails rather disgusting and I can understand that.  I've also accidentally cut people with these weapons of mine.  Now that I think of it, I've even cut myself with my toenails!

d) Short-nail Fans.  I have many fans who much prefer my nails at a shorter length.  I personally, think my feet look better when my toenails are shorter.  I don't really like the "claw" look and I don't think it matches my personality either.

KIA's TOENAIL RESOLUTION
So I have decided that I will maintain a short-medium toenail length for most of the year and maybe once a year (twice at the most) I will intentionally grow them longer.  It takes 2-3 months to grow them to a relatively long length.  During this Period of Nail Growth I will shoot as many photos, videos and custom requests as I can before I go back into Nail Hibernation : )

YOUR CHANCE TO VOTE
I'm curious to see just how many people prefer toenails (in general) long or short.  Add your vote by commenting on this post.  All you have to do is write: LONG or SHORT (unless you have something else to say).  Perhaps if I get enough people voting for LONG I will reconsider my "Once-a-Year Only" Resolution.  Kia
