Little Fishies nibbling on your feet....
wow.
Molly just sent this article to me. I don't even know where to start with this, but I kind of love it! I mean, you ARE contributing to the environment if these little fish actually like skin... I also find it extremely entertaining that the first place they've tried this pedicure method is in... Alexandria! My home town!

Unusual Spa Treatments
"Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer tried out the latest in pedi-pampering. Hundreds of Garra rufa fish, a tiny carp imported from Turkey, nibbled on her feet to remove dead skin. The fish have no teeth, so the treatment doesn't hurt, but it can tickle. Sawyer said it felt like "delicate little fish kisses." The fish can survive by eating only dead skin.
The fish pedicure is popular in Japan, and now a salon in Alexandria, Va., has started offering the service. John Ho, the owner of Yvonne Hair and Nails Salon, said he wanted an alternative to scraping dead skin with razors. His customers seem to like it — he estimates the salon has given about 5,000 fish pedicures. Fifteen minutes in the tank costs $35 and 30 minutes is $50
