Something smells fishy.....

Have you all heard about this? People are actually getting "fish" pedicures.....you put your feet in a bowl and the tiny fish EAT and SUCK the junk off of your toes and heels, etc. Barf! Doesn't that sound nasty? I jumped in a little creek in El Salvador in May because I wanted to take a few pictures and I couldn't stand but only a few minutes.....there were a gazillion little fish BITING my legs, ankles, toes, etc. It was the worst feeling ever and it kind of pinched my skin and burned. If this pedicure is anything like that....I think I'll pass. You can read an article about it if you click HERE. That same page has a video on the right hand side that shows people getting the pedicure...it is kind of interesting!

I have to admit that I am a little intrigued by this. I'm not sure that I could actually do it, but I think I'd like the option to try..

Alice- Why would you feel bad for the fishies?? Could it be becuase their bellies are full of toe jam and human skin? ...yuck....ha!

JL- I know I wrote a post saying how gross this whole idea is....I do think it is yucky and that it would feel REALLY strange....but I would probably try it if I had the chance too.

Beak....you crack me up! You are probably right about Lynx Lake. We need to go to Goldwater with some chicken bones and catch crawdads....what do you think? Hopefully it will work better than last year.
