Feet ?.....;o)
Is Dick Morris their spokesman?
I heard they banned them here in Washington because the heath department ruled that there’s no way to properly “sanitize” them between customers...
Ummm..., it’s like my Grandpa used to say — they took it “hook, line and sinker!”... LOL...
This is a great way to spread bacterial, fungus, and viral infections among customers.
Can they also apply nail polish??
I don’t see them putting thousands of pedicurists out of work anytime soon, though.
Unemployment is at 9%, the economy is in the tank and Obamas buds are getting fish pedicures?
Somehow, someway, there lurks here something vaguely obscene?
sumpin’ fishy about this story...
I got one of these in Texas. Didn’t pay for it though. Was out hiking, and dipped my feet in the creek. Tickled like crazy.
...these pinkie-size fish like you. They like you very much. Which is key to why they're turning up in salons in Virginia, Ohio and now, Aurora and Gurnee. People are paying $25-$50 to plop their feet and/or hands in water tanks and let swarms of the gray, toothless fish work as Neptune's exfoliators. "They have very firm lips," said Olena Manakina, co-owner of Fun Fins in the Gurnee Mills Mall.[old joke alert] I learned about this in school.

U.S. Supreme Court rejects appeal over Arizona ‘fish pedicures’
In 2009, Vong was told by the Arizona Board of Cosmetology that the treatment violated the agency’s safety standards, and that she could face criminal charges.
The board said any tool or equipment used in a pedicure must be stored and disinfected in a specific way, and that she could not disinfect the fish coming in contact with clients’ skin.
(There are lots of people in government who are incredibly bacteriophobic, and are even terrified of things like live culture cheeses and yoghurt, and want them Pasteurized.)
