Butt facial

I’ve just read about a disturbing new trend in spa treatments.
it’s called the ‘butt facial’!  (how’s that for an attention grabber?)
apparently clients pay between $650 and $800 for a one hour treatment.

The price varies, of course, depending on what treatments are done (and likely by how nasty someone’s booty is)

“some treatments for the rear-end focus on cleansing and detoxifying the skin, much like a regular facial. Others use microderm abrasion or micro current therapy to rid the buttocks of cellulite deposits, acne and other skin problems.

“clients …have their derrières cleansed and ex foliated. Then a masque is applied and any waxing, if needed, is done. The treatment ends with a warm paraffin treatment.”

so what do you guys make of this?  butt facials? a facial for your butt?

CRAZY!!!

one article I read mentions that “so far, men haven’t taken to it.”

to that I say “DUH!!!”

176 tips to simplify your life

I happened to see the cover of some self-improvement magazine recently, and it said something on the front that made me look twice.   Look at the title of this article:

176 Tips to Simplify Your Life

Is that for real?  I’m all for simplifying life when possible and practical, but does it really take 176 tips?   While there may be that many aspects / facets of my life that could be addressed, that’s a LOT to consider at one time.   Perhaps they’d be better off putting just 5 tips per issue.   (And that way they wouldn’t run out of stuff to write on for a loooong time.)

Isn’t it really ironic that the quest to simplify your life can be so big and overwhelming?   It sounds more like an April Fools article than a legitimate self-improvement one.

caption contest, baseball player getting hit in a bad spot

It’s time for the next caption contest!  Since the baseball season is now at crunch time, with several close pennant races determining who makes the playoffs in October and who goes home, I’m going to use a baseball picture.  Like always, just write commentary for whoever you want — either the baseball player, or the guy behind him, or the announcers, or even yourself watching this.

Be forewarned that this picture may be painful to see for some readers, so read at your own risk.

Remember to keep your comments clean…   Now, on to the picture.
