Disgusting Beauty Secrets of the Geishas
There's a new skin treatment available in New York that's based on an ancient beauty secret of Japanese geishas. It's a facial that's said to make your skin brighter and clearer, thanks to one very special ingredient. Nightingale poop. And it only costs $180 a treatment!
Geishas have apparently been slathering their faces with bird poo for centuries. Fortunately, the Shizuka Spa's modern formula has been sanitized and deodorized. But why pay $180 when you can just kidnap a pigeon?

Good point about the kidnapping! :)
Although its kind of hard to kidnap a nihtingale when u cant find one where I live....
Very cheap, don't you agree?
And that poor girl in the other post! Even though she was fine...the picture kind of disturbed me. She looked like she was two people, except the other person was headless.:'(
*first comment???*
ONLY $180????!!! wow, i cant imagine who would be so desperate for perfect skin. I wonder how the person who discovered this secret came up with the idea in the first place.
does human poo work, too?
Lol, good thinking about the birds! (there are alot of pigeons in New York right?) I think I said this, but I'll say it again:
Back in the time of the pharaohs'n stuff, the richer women in the Middle East used *gulp* pigeon dung mixed with dye to color their hair.
Oh yeah, will parakeet poop work too? XD (lol, my birds can be useful in many ways besides dinner *D jk jk)
This reminded me of the Phoenicians for some reason. Their name comes from a Greek work meaning "purple", and they traded... wait for it... very popular purple dye. Which sounds fine.
Except that the dye was made from the mucus in a gland of a sea snail. ^^
EWWW!
Also, go to dailymonster.com it's awesome!
where do you find these things?!?!? your posts are always awesome. and nellie, quite on the contrary, i think Lakshmi was very beautiful. you just have to look past the most niticible things sometimes.

*here lil birdy...where are you...*
To anyone from Melbourne: Did you go to the Zombie Shuffle? I WISH I could. I never knew about it. *sniff*
Sorry for posting a comment again, but waaayyy back, women used to use lead to make thier skin fairer. All in the name of beauty, m'dear.
RI: Yes, and it ate their skin. Yum.
Unrelated to this post, but I wanted to get this to you. This artwork just great - more kids saving the world :)
Sounds... Unpleasant. What I want to know is who came up with the idea.
just friday my friend who LOVES Memoirs of a Geisha told me that. and then we painted eachothers faces (her sister whos my friend was there as well) like geishas, but i really suck at face painting so we stopped that and now i'm in portland (come visit me kirsten!!!) making coffee in a french press. yum.
