literally another aussie in london

I am talking about my little toe, ofcourse.

You remember it, don’t you, no, let me refresh your memory.

That is the toe that makes the women weak at their knees.

Well apparently the reason for its beauty is simple, I have brachymetatarsia.

It means one of the bones in my foot is too short, causing this stunningly sexy toe.

Brachymetatarsia is genetic, but I had already guessed that as my cousin, father and grandpa also have this devilish style icon.

I was always told by my parents that I could have had my toe reset as a child, but checking out the info on brachymetatarsia that really isn’t how it works. As lengthining a babies toe is not really that easy, although surgery can be used in some cases.

Even famous people have brachymetatarsia, Jennifer Garner has a shocking case of it, way less sexy than mine.

thanks to TMZ for that fucking disturbing vision

Jen and my genetic freaks are rare amongst people who suffer brachymetatarsia, as generally it is the 4th toe, and not the 5th that suffer.

These people lose out big time as they don’t even get the cool raptor claw effect, even if Jen’s raptor claw seems to be eating the other toes, where mine is more riding the 4th from behind.

A common case of brachymetatarsia looks like this.

See the lack of raptor claw action here, it is like one toe is being smothered to death by the rest of them.

So now we all know a little more about brachymetatarsia, and we have JB, who commented on the TK Maxx post, to thank.

If you too have brachymetatarsia, feel free to send your photos in.

And if you are a wiki person, please give brachymetatarsia its own page.

Feel free to use my picture as an example of how stylish this genetic condition can be.

Thanks to Dave there is now a poem about my toe.

Jarrod has this cool little toe
The little sod just does not grow
Now he’s older and rough
He’s just brave enough
To stick it on twitter for show.
