Have ya'll heard about this? I guess this is the latest pedicure craze in the Northern Va area. You literally dunk your feet in a tank of water filled with tiny carp that nibble away your calluses. After 15-30 minutes of this they then proceed with the normal pedicure. They say that they only eat the dead flaking skin because they don't have any teeth. I don't know if I could do this. What about you all?

I don't think I would give that one a try.

LOL, let me know what salon does that so that I'll know NOT to go there. That's just gross. :)

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Christy, I just saw that on CNN maybe an hour ago. Gah, I am still trying to obliterate the IMAGES of it from my mind!

I read that this morning. I could not think of anything worse than being nibbled by fish. Ew.

Oh this is too funny! We used to go to the fish hatchery on school trips and the hungry fish would nibble on anything. Even toes! It doesn't hurt or anything- but tickles A LOT! I know I couldn't sit still for it. And they must keep the fish hungry or they would avoid people's feet. Poor fish :(
