I’m a girl who likes to pamper herself. Spa treatments, manicures, pedicures… it doesn’t actually happen as much as I would prefer. But when I can swing it, a good pedicure really gives me the attitude adjustment I need. I’m also mildly adventurous.. I’ll try any food once (ok not any food… I’m not insane like that guy on the Travel Channel who’ll chew on rotten bull testicles if you tell him it’s food) but I’ll try most things once, granted they don’t risk my life. But there are definitely lines I draw when it comes to trying new things. For example, I will probably never let fish chew the dead skin off my feet in the name of beauty.
I realized, I have a *thing* about fish. I eat fish, often. I see fish, I swim near them almost every time I go to the beach, I’ve snorkeled (and liked it) and swam and fed stingrays… but I have a thing about fish swimming near my legs and feet. It freaks. me. out. If I see a school swim by in the ocean I have to look away and pretend they aren’t there so I don’t spaz the hell out.
I will also think twice about ever eating Carp.... what if they have a belly full of dead skin? Ew! (Ok I know they probably aren’t the kind you eat but come on...) I know people will try this… Joelle said she would. I’m all about trying things for the sake of trying, .... and I’d probably do it if you paid me and sat next to me during it while I dug my nails into your arm, and you fed me shots.

I can supply both the arm for the fingernails and the shots. *Looks up foot fish in the yellow pages*

I’ve been reading about how squicked out people are over this, but it doesn’t even register on my squick-dar. I’m not the type to get pedicures, but I’d do it. Now if were spiders, on the other hand, I’d die before I would sign up for that.

I’d probably do it. I have some nasty foot callouses from tae kwon do and years of not taking good care of my feet.

I just saw this on CNN...well read it online, at CNN and I have been mailing that story like crazy. At first I thought it was some type of bow on her feet until I saw it close up and I was like what????
Anyhow..I had the same thinking as you. Like what if someone wanted to eat carp? Ewwwww at the thought of bellies full of skin but I really think I would try a ‘fish foot pedicute’ once.
