Created, no doubt, by the same misogynist who invented pointed-toe shoes with stilletto heels. I'm also reminded of Danny Kaye's "Anatole of Paris" song about women's hats.

Knowing what this does to your car paint, I would NEVER put this on my face.

Similar materials are a test for automotive paint finishes. It is a difficult test to pass.

Perhaps it is acidic, so it provides a mild peel. If that's the skin benefit, there definitely are other products that sound far more appealing (and a-peeling.)

I'd rather have wrinkles and acne.

If there are enough other people who also want wrinkles and acne, I'm sure the cosmetics companies will seize the market opportunity and deliver products that promise to produce those results. Or you could start your own company and cash in on the idea.

Hope all's going well for you. Are you still planning a move to Cleveland?

I got a similar treatment once just walking along 77th Street.

For free.

From Wikipedia: "Bird's nest soup is a delicacy[1] in Chinese cuisine. A few species of swift, the cave swifts, are renowned for building the saliva nests used to produce the unique texture of this soup.

The edible bird's nests are among the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. The nests have been traditionally used in Chinese cooking for over 400 years, most often as bird's nest soup.[2]"

Putting excrement on your face isn't much worse than eating birds' salivary excretions hardened into cave nests in soup. I've actually eaten this stuff and it's, um, not worth the price.

I've had it, as well. It was...interesting and unique.

Still better than the dung facial. Yuck!

Involuntarily, I've been french-kissed by dogs. A little bird spit holds no terror.

All is great here, except for the prospect of packing. AGAIN.

How're you these days? We're thinking end of July for the move....hoping to time it just right for the hottest day of the year. Oh yay.

what if "porcelain white" is not what you're after?
