Six of Potions

The pedicure: pretty much the ultimate vanity, and the final pillar of metrosexual self-maintenance to boot. Why would you buy a $100 pair of sandals, only to frame your callous-gnarled, troll-clawed toes? No, that won't do; you have to have pretty feet. Besides, it feels really nice. And in the semiotics department, lacquer choice is the frontier between Gay and Metro: Clear varnish? Metro. Liza-Minelli-Red twinkle-toes? Queen!

Meaning: Attention to detail, a journey.

Reversed: Fussiness, meaningless distraction.
