| The peasant girls...poor village girls and women of India...even more than the Bollywood actresses...are what I consider sexy. They live barefoot..are always naturally and casually barefoot....and these that worked in the coal mines...what dirty, black, sexy feet they have. |

| I wonder if there's much mud they walk in! On a serious note, lack of shoes is considered a sign of poverty, sadly. |
