Today is a post geared towards the Fauxology readers who are professional faux finishers. I have a question:?Does anyone else have this debate? When I need to purchase new tennis shoes for work, I keep in mind that I will be in some construction sites and that paints and plasters will fall on them. So, do I go with the less expensive pair because they’ll be colorful within the day or do I respect myself and buy a good, solid pair because I will be walking and climbing in them approximately 5 – 6 days a week? I inevitably decide that I don’t want to add any more muscle pain to my day and buy the better pair. It always works out yet I debate it time and again.

The knee pads would SO come in handy. And, maybe if I sprung $9.50 for gloves, I would actually wear them, which I NEED to do.

hakan sent me some of his gloves as a prize last year, and they are great. i normally use latex or nitrile gloves, but for working on a big exterior mural, it was nice to have the grip and warmth of these on the scaffold, and they are holding up well.

btw, the dec arts show in long beach is MARCH 10-14, 2009

Love those gloves…my client today was polishing silver and her hands hurt and were stained. Of course, I had her trying them — they just feel so nice when you wear them.

Lynne – THANK YOU for letting me know about the date mix-up…how did I come up with May 2008?!? That was a great catch, appreciate it. I’ve changed it to reflect the right time frame.
