Oh, the places Frank's Feet will go!

Hello. We’re Frank’s feet. We’re hairy, sometimes stinky and rough around the edges but we’ve been on many adventures.

Frank first got the idea to photograph us on a 2002 trip to Barbados. Incidentally, Frank had just proposed to the beautiful Elsa the night before. We were pleased when that happened because that meant someone would be around to encourage Frank to trim our toenails and maybe even let us get in on some of that soap action. Anyway, the next day Frank started this whole feet photography obsession. It seems Frank was full of great ideas on this trip.

What happened is that Frank took a picture of the pool and we sort of just got in the way. He reviewed the pic on his digital camera and admired his keen eye for photography. And thus, we became stars of all of their trips.


The first (we're wearing "mandals" as Thea calls them)


At the Leaning Tower of Pisa—we climbed it even though it’s about to fall over. We didn’t think it was such a great idea but Elsa did it and she’s the smart one.

Aw, on their first anniversary in Gruene, TX. Elsa was sick in the hotel with a tummy ache so we hung out with Frank. So romantic.

At the Colleseum in Rome! We were too late for the tour so all we know is that Gladiator was filmed here.

Los pies en México. Tráiganos otra cerveza.

Snowshoeing in Colorado. This was a lot of work for us. But Elsa's feet fell into a frozen lake--losers! They're always sort of bitchy to us anyway.


On the beach in the Cinque Terre, Italy. They sunbathe topless there, ya know.

Our farthest trip--the Great Wall of China!



So basically we're international celebrities. We're the subject of this amazing photography and we've pretty much been around the world. And now we've even written a blog.

Would it be too much to ask for some traveling, literate feet to get some socks without holes in them?

It reminds me of that yard gnome that was stolen and photographed around the world! Maybe you all could make a coffee table book about the adventures of Frank's feet!

I'm going to start photographing the Twins around the world. It's art, not portn.

I like how they're always crossed, like everywhere they go, they're gellin'.

So does his right foot get upset that his left is being a camera hog?

How very observant, they ARE always crossed in the exact same way. I would say that's part of the art but it's probably some disability.

Thea, I can't believe you support the coffee table book idea. YOU would never buy a book full of feet! But we may still do it...

Jessi said...

Mandals... nice. Justin calls the other flip flops Frank's wearing 'toe rapers' and he refuses to wear them. Well he can't even walk in them anyway, I'm pretty sure his is a disability.

OK Frank I want to receive some of the proceeds from the book, for coming up with the idea!
Next your feet need to head to Africa and South America!

I approve of the book only if Franks wears shoes. I can't hang with the naked toe photos. No offense Frank, it's not you it's me. Maybe Nike will sponser you. Nikes around the world...

I love this! When Frank comes up with something, it is usually pretty good. And being a Simcik, you can count on him continuing this tradition.
