" When the Washington Post reported this past weekend that male soldiers in Iraq are lining up in droves for manicures and pedicures at the salon on their base in Iraq, it got me thinking about men&amp;amp;#8217;s nails&amp;amp;#133;Which, considering the fact that the majority of men&amp;amp;#8217;s feet I catch a peek of are usually in a dire state&amp;amp;#8212;think layers of dead skin, blackened nails, multiple calluses&amp;amp;#8212;is not really a pretty thought. When you spend a lot of time on your feet, as I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure the soldiers mentioned in the Post article do, pedicures become simply another maintenance ritual, not so much a frilly indulgence&amp;amp;#8212;I hate that the word metrosexual even has to be mentioned! Personally, I am all for more men getting pedicures&amp;amp;#133; after all, nasty feet aren&amp;amp;#8217;t becoming on anybody. What about you? Want to weigh in on this man-tenance question?
