I’m not fancy, not sloppy, not rich, not poor. I always thought I was middle ground. That is until I read this article in the O Magazine, The Six Objects of Desire. Object #1 – The Bold Shoulder Bag. The Deal? A $39 bag from Nine West. Not Bad. The Middle Ground? A $398 Coach bag. Hmmm. If you ask me, that’s a pretty big jump from The Deal to The Middle Ground! Don’t even ask about the high end unless you are ready to drop what would be equal to a mortgage payment on a purse. Skip to Object #3 – The “Wow” Necklace. The Middle Ground? A $398 Elle Tahari. Object #6 – The Coat That Makes An Entrance. The Middle Ground? A $693 Mackage coat. Ha! Who does Oprah think we are anyway? Seriously?

Ada Barak’s Carnivorous Plant Farm in northern Israel offers an unusual type massage. She uses…snakes. According to this article in Time, Ada says:

After some experimenting, she eventually settled on a combo of big snakes for a deep massage (the king and corn snakes are heavy enough to produce a kneading sensation) and little ones, whose passage over the skin is a trembling flutter. “People either like it a lot or they hate it,” says Barak.

Seriously? I would never, never, never do this. Would any of you enjoy a snake massage?
