Thankfully, Davis has a knack for DIY and summoned her husband fetch Crisco, of all things, prior to the show as a precautionary measure. Davis went on to explain, “I just go in there and put it allover my bunion and my toes and the bottom of my feet.” Why Crisco? Davis claims that besides keeping ashy skin at bay, “It keeps the friction away from the shoe and toe, and there you go!” Time to invest stock in Crisco!
