I want a fish pedicure in the worst way
I'm not normally given to trendy shit, but I really, really want a fish pedicure. I've tried everything to get rid of the gross dead skin on my heels, with zero success.

Anyone had one of these?

1. Haven't you seen the recent posts about the Ped Egg?
Check it out. It seems to be the be all and end for. It's like a small cheese grater that takes all the dead skin off your feet, (heels).

3. Apparently they only do half the job. Then a old fashioned pedicure
takes place half way through.

Maggost will eat dead skin only (I saw it on House). Ever wanted to try a maggot pedicure?

4. Ped Egg. Available at a drug store near you.
Works amazingly well. I've had dead skin on my heels forever and it removed all of it.

5. I posted a few days ago on how disgusting the whole idea of a fish pedicure is.
First of all, you are sticking your feet into a basin of stagnant water with a bunch of fish who are eating and pooping. And the fish probably don't have a good deal cuz they have to be put in water that's warmer than they usually swim in. That alone might just kill them.

I have a fairly cheapo pedicure once a month. And I don't walk around barefoot. So my feet are pretty soft.

7. That's the dumbest idea I've heard in weeks
Fish don't even have feet, in case you didn't know.
