Oh, it’s true.
When I saw this video on www.abc.com, I was like “Oh, that’s an interesting tidbit about Brenda Strong’s feet, now let me go about my way.”
But after sitting in front of my TV, rewatching Seasons 1 and 2 in 24-hour intervals this week, I realized how much knowing this fact about her has changed my outlook on the show.
I heavily weighed whether I should share it with you kids or not, for fear of changing allayall’s opinions about Mary Alice.
Maybe it won’t have the same effect on you as it did on me. Maybe you won’t think “I can’t take you seriously, Mary Alice*, because you’re barefoot while you’re narrating about your desperate friends.” Maybe you won’t think about how she’s still the tallest woman in the world, even taller than Marcia Cross — while forgoing the height of any sort of foot-arching sole.
But I do. I’ll always think about how your sweet voice is hiding a dark, nekkid, piggy-toed secret, Brenda.
*For some reason, every time I try to type Mary Alice, my fingers want to type Mary Alive. Weird, because she’s definitely not alive. Is there something my fingers are trying to tell me? So from here on out, Mary Alice is now going to be Mary Alive.
My sincerest apologies, Holly!! I told you I hesitated to inform you guys about it, because it changed my opinion so much!
Something about knowing a woman’s speakin’ with nekkid feet just changes your opinion about her, eh?
I hate you, I was watching the new episode and every time she spoke, all I could think of was her feet!

Thanks a lot
It was interesting, if I do say so myself — but I couldn’t agree with you more. It would be upsetting — even for me.
Well, Marc has stated that he can see the show left with one housewife standing. I think that would be pretty upsetting in itself.
In all honesty, if the show had ended right before the five year fast-forward; where all of the housewives sat at the table playing cards (including Katherine)? I would have been happy with that. It was brilliant how everything tied up so tidily. (My life-partner and I agree on this wholeheartedly — but we both don’t EVER want the show to end) Hehehe
Keep your fantastic blogs coming. I’ll keep reading, and commenting.

You’re RIGHT! Maybe you planted the idea in my finger brains!
I meant to respond to you earlier about your end-show theory!
I love, love, LOVE it. I think it’s creative and thought-provoking and I’m a huge psychological thriller fan, so I love that twist-ending crap. (Maybe you should drop your day job and beg Marc to hire you?)
HowEVER, I don’t think it’ll happen, and here’s why: It’s a little bit like the waking-from-a-dream ending, but not in the sense that the writers got lazy and needed to end the story. I think it’ll upset people if they find out everything they’ve watched in the last nine years was in someone’s head, don’t you?
It’s a fanTASTic theory, though.
Maybe my idea about how the show ends is what caused that?
*wink*
Big hugs, Amy!
