World As We Know It Surely Ending Soon

Gold face masks, i.e., facials that use real gold, are becoming all the rage. That is, if you are superrich and superdumb.



From the Book of Joe, where I discovered this tidbit:
"When those gold sheets are in place during the Umo treatment patients almost resemble a mummy’s sarcophagus and this is no coincidence: many beauty companies hark back to Cleopatra and her apparent forward thinking on the beautification front, for she is said to have slept in a mask of gold. The ancients apparently considered the metal a source of immortality."

Ooooookaaaaay. Riiiiiight. Who are the people doing this? Because taking science-based beauty advice from a woman who lived thousands of years ago, married not one but two of her own brothers, and had an affair with a man named Gaius just does not seem like such a hot idea. Not to mention, they used to have a life expectancy of, like, 22 back then, so what did they need good skincare for anyway?

Also, it's super expensive (OBviously.)

But, if you disagree with me and this does indeed turn you on, then don't miss:
