Slog - Comments on Fuck You, Pompeii Me http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/fuck_you_pompeii_me So, what do you exfoliate with? Apricot pits? Sea salt? That's cool. Oh, me? I exfoliate with volcanic fucking ash. Thank you, M.A.C. Cosmetics, for providing me with (please read the following in Cookie Monster voice) theee most brutal exfoliating product of all tiiiiime (end Cookie Monster voice). And when I say brutal, I mean that only in the death metal sense of the word. This stuff is surprisingly gentle on the skin, especially when you consider its origins in the fiery molten depths of the Earth. Also, I heard it was made by Orcs....

Cornball Once again, a post starts as "Amy Kate Horn" and morphs into "Chelsea Alvarez-Bell."

But I knew it was C A-B the second I read the words "Cookie Monster voice."

Chelsea doesn't actually have rights to the Slog. Same as Guest Sloggers of the Day.

Stephen Colbert says never exfoliate with nut shells, they scratch the skin; use microbeads. And Stephen Colbert's skin is DREAMY.

Me, I exfoliate with stress.

Or else an experiment in irony, not unlike the listing of Enemies of Slog on the right hand side. If there weren't a link to CAB's real blog, I'd think the Stranger hired someone to deliberately post in the most vapid girl style possible to rile everyone up.

Nor in using volcanic ash for trivialities. The economy of Seattle's tourist industry depends upon kitsch molded from St. Helens ash.

All those hillocks you see along side the freeway are big ole berms created from volcanic ash and mud dredged out of the Toutle and Cowlitz rivers after the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. There's probably several million metric tons of the stuff just sitting there free for the taking, and I'll bet when mixed with a bit of lotion it will probably do the job just as effectively as this overpriced crap.

Just don't take any of it into your respiratory system, unless you want your alveoli to be just as smooth and featurless as your epidermis.
