Yeah we’ve all heard of Fat Boy Slim. But fat toe slim?
Tis red carpet season. And as such we’ve been inundated with press releases and other ahem “news” and “information” about how the stars prep for their big night.
Yes, we know all about the liposuction and the extreme dieting. We know about the Botox in the armpits. We know all about the fillers around the lips and the full body makeup.
But I for one did not know about this dis-gusting new trend.
Apparently podiatrists are actually offering surgical procedures to make fat toes slimmer, long toes shorter and fat feet narrower. All the better for looking good in your strappy sandals my dear.
Is this not barbaric? Is this not mutilation of the most extreme and unnecessary kind – I mean would it not be easier to find a more flattering sandal? Or – gasp – wear a closed toe shoe.
If stars really have their tiny brains set on this they’d need to be planning it well in advance however. You’d need to be getting this done quite some months before the Oscars to prevent unsightly hobbling up the red carpet.
This little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home. Indeed.

Jeez, that’s a step too far!!
thats icky
i’ve heard in china they used to bind girls feets from infancy to ensure they stayed small and well shaped .. one look at my feet would tell you i was not a child in china …
Great to meet you both the other night – see you on Saturday!
altering the way god [whoever she/he is] made us happens all over the world. in some parts of africa they put rings around your neck to elongate it as it’s a sign of beauty! so basically i guess we’re never happy!!
‘fat toe slim’ hehee
sweetie – ta da tish!
Fiona – it was lovely to meet you too – remember – the dress with cleavage!! Hope to see you displaying your assets tomorrow!
Yea – I read an article on this last year and was a bit OMG but after I though about it some more yea I go for it as I don’t like my feet incl. toes.
Alicia Douvall mentioned in her recent documentary with Living that one of the next operations that she was going to have done was to have her toes shortened! she thought that they would look better in jimmy choos! sad i know!
I seen that B!
I remember hearing something about this a few years ago…where they cut off the little toe altogether to fit into some shoe…Jimmy Chou springs to mind…but i might be wrong!
Ick.
I have clod hopping, blokey feet – and i still would never consider this. I broke a toe once, the pain was horrible (seeing flashy lights, want to throw up, almost pass out pain).
Had to hobble around in a pair of Jesus sandals and thick sports socks in December for 2 weeks with my toes splinted together.
There’s a reason nasty things are done to toes and fingers by torturers – it hurts. A lot.
The Pinky Toe Tuck? huwow! this is the first time I’ve heard of this. It is just amazing that celebrities are very meticulous that they have to undergone surgery to get their fat toes slim!
