२९ जानेवारी, २०१५

"You sit on what is essentially a mini-throne... and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al."

"It is an energetic release—not just a steam douche—that balances female hormone levels. If you’re in LA, you have to do it."

Is there any regulation that won't pass in California?; २९/१/१५, ११:१५ AM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: Perhaps this steam thing is what the Patriots used to inflate footballs with hot humid air before the officials tested them prior to games.; २९/१/१५, ११:१७ AM
Curious George म्हणाले...: "The female reproductive tract does not need to be cleaned at all. In fact, methods of feminine cleansing like douching can do more harm than good."

Even douche canoes know that.; २९/१/१५, ११:१७ AM
Sigivald म्हणाले...: "Cleanse" and "release" and "balances"?

All signs of 100% pure hippie BS that does nothing.; २९/१/१५, ११:१९ AM
Bob Boyd म्हणाले...: Didn't the early native Americans used to do something like this in a special canoe?; २९/१/१५, ११:२२ AM
Robert Cook म्हणाले...: Perhaps Ms. Paltrow is a sly, distaff James Franco, performing a long-term, ongoing performance art piece, and not at all the dizzy, dippy hippie chick--or the dupe of charlatans--her recommendations would indicate.; २९/१/१५, ११:२२ AM

rhhardin म्हणाले...: Camille Pagila somewhere in Sexual Personae said what the fish smell was from but I couldn't find it the last time I looked.

There's a chemical name involved.; २९/१/१५, ११:४६ AM

buwaya म्हणाले...: In Los Angeles the making of things is nearly regulated away, but thankfully will be replaced by personal service industries of this sort.
There will be a steamery in every strip mall, or perhaps the business works better centralized, and there will be large steam plants favored by crowds of clients.; २९/१/१५, ११:५३ AM
rhhardin म्हणाले...: Google is your fish.

"Botticelli's Venus coasts to shore on the half-shell. Sexual love is a deep-sea diving into the timeless and elemental. G. Wilson Knight says, "Life rose from the sea. Our bodies are three parts water and our minds compacted of salty lusts." Woman's body reeks of the sea. Ferenczi says, "The genital secretion of the female among the higher mammals and in man ... possesses a distinctly fishy odor (odor of herring brine), according to the description of all physiologists; the odor of the vagina comes from the same substance (trimethylamine) as the decomposition of fish gives rise to." Raw clams, I am convinced, have a latently cunnilingual character that many find repugnant. Eating a clam, fresh-killed, barely dead, is a barbarous, amorous plunging into mother nature's cold salt sea."

Sexual Personae p.92

The thing to remember is that this was published by Yale U Press at the height of feminist PC, a paean to sexual difference.; २९/१/१५, १२:०६ PM

Quayle म्हणाले...: To a secular Hollywood leftist, we all evolved to our present unique and nearly-unfathomable advanced biological state, overcoming innumerable competing biological threats big and microscopic, through volcanic and ice-age periods of climate, prevailing through countless challenges to the survival of our species...

... but nevertheless, we all still need balancing and cleansing, and realignment and natural rejuvenation, which can only best be obtained for a very reasonable 4 figure price at a clinic in Beverly Hills.

And they claim WE'RE ignoring science.; २९/१/१५, १२:१२ PM
HoodlumDoodlum म्हणाले...: Sounds goopy.

I'd make some "energetic release" jokes but I don't want to be though of as sexist, you know.; २९/१/१५, १२:१५ PM
David म्हणाले...: Actually, you should do this in the mountains, where the temperature of steam is (slightly) less than 212 degrees.; २९/१/१५, १२:१५ PM
HoodlumDoodlum म्हणाले...: I have a faint memory of news stories about people who acquired nasty brain parasites from cleansing their nasal passages with impure water. Just thought I'd toss that up there, ah, out there.; २९/१/१५, १२:१७ PM

Sal म्हणाले...: Let me add that mugwort steam is gluten-free.; २९/१/१५, १२:५३ PM

walter म्हणाले...: On taking a retreat to Sedona, Arizona: “I’ll never forget it. I was starting to hike up the red rocks, and honestly, it was as if I heard the rock say: ‘You have the answers. You are your teacher.’ I thought I was having an auditory hallucination.”; २९/१/१५, १:०३ PM

Special offer for the ladies: I will give you a personal upclose steaming for free. No appliances involved, 100% natural using only my hot moist breath.

Extra bonus is a gentle massage.

PuertoRicoSpaceport.com म्हणाले...: Why is douchenozzle an insult?

I've always thought that if reincarnation is actually a thing, I'd like to come back as a douchenozzle. They serve a useful purpose and get to go somewhere good on a regular basis.

John Henry; २९/१/१५, २:५५ PM
Unknown म्हणाले...: People who speak so carelessly are annoying. Steam and live tissue don't go together well. I don't know if this is careless or just ignorant.; २९/१/१५, २:५६ PM
CatherineM म्हणाले...: I have heard it all.

LA is a weird place. I remember the Today show showing some video of Nicole Brown Simpson after her murder at a strange excercise class. The reporter had to explain that the class may seem weird (the class was walking around flailing), but this takes place in LA and is normal for LA.; २९/१/१५, ४:०२ PM
