From the Department of I Couldn't Make This Stuff Up comes this story datelined Chicago: Chicago's Mud Facial Bar Adds 'Breast Milk Facials' To It's List Of Add-Ons.
Yes, Dear Readers, if you are in the Windy City and in need of a good facial treatment to rejuvenate your tired, wrinkled visage, for a mere $10 added to the basic $40 cost of your facial you can add a "breast milk substitute" that is advertised to "clear the skin and make it smooth by healing the underlying skin problems." The owner of the bar said she had been inspired by reading mommy blogs that extolled the virtues of breast milk, presumably for reasons other than nourishing hungry infants. She said that, "I really wanted to come up with something that is quick, effective, that appealed to the urban city girl.”
The active ingredient that allegedly makes breast milk good for the skin is lauric acid (C12H24O2), a saturated fatty acid that has a faint odor of bay oil or soap. It is said to boost the levels of "good" cholesterol in the blood and to have a beneficial effect on skin that has been damaged by sunburn, eczema, and acne.
So, if you're tired of shelling out enormous amounts of money for overpriced cosmetic skin treatments, you should consider going natural ... after all, if it's good for little babies, it's ought to be good for you, right?
Have a good day. Come back tomorrow, when we'll name our Left Cheek Ass Clown of the Month.
More thoughts then.

That's weird! Can you include the person who dreamed this up in the possible candidates for Left Ass Cheek of the Month?
oh my goodness. no other words.
Uff da! Mine are.
The weirdness keeps on coming!
Facials are a rip-off!
I like Angel's comment...who would come up with this, and a bigger question...who is donating the ingredients?
And do they need volunteers to help collect the ingredients?
One thing I've learned in life is that if one can think of a strange idea, someone has already done it. This is one more example.
Add me to the list of people whose minds are numbed by this bizarre facial!
Well, it's probably no more bizarre than motorboating!
What is the applicator for the special ingredient.
