I wonder how many Hollyweirdos are going there already for these treatments? Kerry probably has a trip planned before the next Presidential primary.
According to legend in the late 16th and early 17th centuries there lived a very beautiful, and very vain countess of Hungary from which Bram Stoker got a lot of his ideas. Erzsébet Báthory of Hungary supposedly bathed in the blood of young virgins (in some legends even drinking it), so that she would not grow old and would remain young and fair indefinitely. When the authorities finally accused her of witchcraft, satanism, and the aforementioned weird blood rituals, she was sentenced to life in her walled up torture chamber (for political reasons they couldn't kill her), without trial. Only a small opening allowed her jailers to feed her. Whether or not any of the charges were true she is still known to the Slavs as The Bloody Lady of Cachtice Castle, or The Hungarian Whore.

I sincerely believe we are in very d e e p trouble!
Proof positive of how sick our world has become.
Our's is not to judge, but if these creatures don't earn eternal damnation I'll be very surprised.
You're correct about the story and it's NOT a legend. The woman was actually close family to king Stephen Batory of Poland and Siebenburgen...
Not new. In the 1970s in the San Francisco Bay area were the house-to-house parties selling Jaffra beauty products. An ingredient in many of their facial cleansers and "rejuvenators" was.. baby placenta.
But you don't have to kill a baby to get placenta; I've heard (perhaps just an urban legend?) of an anti-aging cream made of foreskins, also. People are so desperate it's funny.
"IIRC, Bryntsalov lives in London, and did not even return to Russia for the election. I wonder where he is getting his treatment."
I was wondering where he lived. I just got back from Moscow a couple weeks ago, and I didn't see a neighborhood in the whole city "fit" for a billionaire.
There is a village just outside of Moscow where a bunch of them live. Can't think of the name right now... There was a story about it on NBC news about a week ago.
Exactly! One need only have useful contacts at any hospital. Never heard about the "foreskin" anti-aging stuff. I can hardly wait (not!) for the anti-circumcision "orgs" to explain this one... lol
Must have skipped that on the tour. It was funny, though, how everybody got out of the way of the black BMW's and Mercedes' on the road, assuming they were either the mob or government, which might be the same thing.
Over here, just go to the top of page to read the unbelievable article...
BTTT
What I mean was that the accusations against her are legendary, and may or may not be true.
