Subject: Re: what the heck is foot soup?

Hello! Found your message board while searching on "Foot Soup". Thought I'd pass on what I found out:

In case you were wondering: 'What the heck is Foot Soup?'

I found the author's site, and sent her a message:
"Okay, I got your summer foot pledge thingee over email today, authorship unattached. Anyhoo, I was wondering what "the magic of Foot Soup" is. I did a Google search, and came up with a zillion recipes for Chicken Foot Soup (ew), Cow Foot Soup (ew), and a stupid Tom Green (ew) notion about pouring soup in your shoe and sharing it (double ew). Curious: What is the Foot Soup referred to in above-mentioned rant? Thanks!"

Her answer on the message board:
"Foot Soup is a mixture of bath salts and fragrant oils that my friend, Melissa, makes at home. We soak our feet in it and she gives us incredible pedicures. She and her college friends dubbed it "Foot Soup" and would have FS nights. You can make Foot Soup at home - get a nice deep container and fill it with water that's as hot as you can stand it. Dump in bath beads or oils (Neutrogena Sesame Oil is a favorite) and some bath salts. Soak your feet until the water gets cold. Scrub with a pumice to get the dead skin off. Put a good creamy lotion all over your feet - even between your toes. When it soaks in, you can paint your toenails. Hope that answers everyone's questions. Maybe I should encourage Melissa to patent her secret formula and sell it?"

Hope this helps!

Amusing note from her site:
***A quick note about this selection...
Okay, so here's the thing. You dash off something funny in a quick email to your best girlfriends, and it ends up being posted all over the Internet (see list below) without your name on it. Not to mention, all the times it's read on radio shows. And, as a frustrated author who really wants her own column, you just can't find a big enough BAND-AID for your ego. If only you had put your name on it to start with, instead of just ending your email with *hugs* like you normally do.

On top of that, people start editing it and sending it out with their "improvements."

Finally, you end up getting it sent back to you by a long-lost college friend who doesn't know you wrote it because she wasn't on the list of friends you originally wrote it for.

So, right here, right now, I'm staking my claim. I wrote that damn Open Toe Shoe Pledge. Me. Not your office manager, not that dj on the morning show you listen to, not your sister's boyfriend's co-worker. Me. Vanessa Willis.
