The Grossest Spa Treatment Ever
When you work in the beauty business, some pretty weird products (and tips) come across your desk and inbox. But, accustomed as I may be to gross, I mean "interesting" ingredients and bizarre plastic surgeries; nothing prepared me for the email alert from Living Social that I received today about a Spa-Lami package. That's right, spa-lami as in salami.
Intrigued by the headline, I clicked. And, lo and behold, there it was. Something that far surpassed even the most outrageous beauty products or treatments I'd ever heard of. An offer to get a "Spa-Lami Ultimate Protein Package" that included a "prosciutto neck wrap," "ground beef compress" and "Swedish meatball massage." Um, I'm not vegetarian, but gag me.
And, even if I were anti-meat, I was in luck because "Porkland" offers a "menu of vegetarian and vegan options." Truly something for everyone. Or, no one.
But, much like the people lining up to see the trainwreck that is Charlie Sheen in concert, I was compelled to send it as a gift to a meat-loving pal. Only, guess what? Click to purchase and APRIL FOOL'S! Yup. I'm a fool. And, as such, fell for the gag hook, line and sinker.
That's OK. I'd much rather be a chump than have it be true!
