Apr. 30 - A salon in New York is offering 'The Geisha Facial', using an exotic ingredient, nightingale droppings, known in Japan as Uguisu No Fun.

The nightingale droppings have been used by Geishas and Kabuki Actors in Japan for a long time. They wear the striking white make up and need some good cleansing powder at the end of the day to protect their skin. Nightingale droppings are rich in the amino acid guanine, because they have very short intestines.
