… If you can believe NYMag:
With Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s political ambition comes a lot of carefully managed image-grooming… His embrace of the overshare generation continues today in the debut issue of Dujour magazine, via “Page Six,” in which he reveals his simple vice: “I had an ex-girlfriend who ruined me in terms of my macho, ex-football-player self — she turned me on to mani-pedis,” Booker said, deploying the shorthand himself. “Being a public figure, people talk smack about you, so I found this 24-hour mani-pedi place and go in the middle of the night. It’s this guilty pleasure I have. Look, manis are good, but pedis — there’s something … transformative.”
Our most estimable bloghost, back in April:
I’ll never understand why taking care of your feet is somehow effeminate… All you guys who think this is somehow wimpy or uncool are just tools. There’s a reason so many women flock to get manicures and pedicures- it feels good. Really good. I’ll take a good pedicure over a massage any day of the week.
Maybe you guys will get the chance to bond at the Charlotte convention, John.
