At Shizuka New York skin care salon off Fifth Avenue, roughly 100 clients a month are shelling out $180 each for a traditional Japanese facial “using imported Asian nightingale excrement mixed with rice bran,” reports Verna Dobnik for the Associated Press. The treatment is touted as “a way to keep the face soft and smooth using an enzyme in the poop to gently exfoliate the skin.”

The AP supplied this account of 35-year-old New Yorker Mari Miyoshi’s first fecal facial:

“The treatment begins with steam to open the pores and soften the skin. Cream is applied. And then comes what Bernstein calls ‘the nightingale part.’

On a similar note, there is a company that produces, and sells, a product that is designed to make poop taste bad (for your dog). It’s a great country.

People with way too much time and money. I wouldn’t get near that stuff unless I was wearing a respirator. The saying shit for brains comes to mind.

That and a cup of elephant dung coffee makes me feel all pooped out.

Mikey has likely had the sh!t from many an orifice rubbed on and for that matter into his face.

Back in the day when someone got a little too high or drunk
we would often say ‘he got shiite-faced’. We were idiots in the days of our yutes.

Yes we had many names for it as well. Probably because there were so many occasions of it!

I’m no fan of Bloomberg, but I don’t see how he gets the blame for this one.
