Help a Stranded Metrosexual

[Allenberg]

Finding good bath products is hard when you live in rural Japan. Unfortunately, Bath and Body Works doesn't do online sales. I need a new loofah sponge (preferrably the stick version, makes it easier to get the middle of the back), a gel mask, and a bath pillow.

Any of you guys or gals know where a guy can find these items, and happens to ship to APO? (If not, I can have it sent to my parents, who can send it on to me)

Thanks!

I got teased the other day for having Body Butter (Mango-scented) from the Body Shop. Good stuff, though.

22. Really... The Body Shop (no APO, but via parents, certainly)

They do online sales, and they have all the things you mentioned.

11. Have you tried snorkling

They are plentiful off the coast of Japan.

or or or you could grow your own(different type)

I wasn't going to even hit the post button, but WTF!

12. I'm kind of shocked

I thought Japan would be all about the bath products. Why are you in rural Japan? Do you speak japanese? Is it possible that all the good bath stuff is their but you don't know how to find it?

15. Heh

I'm in the Air Force stationed at Misawa AB, which is at the northern tip of Honshu island. (the main island, for those not in the know).

Sadly, despite being here since July 2002, I speak very little Japanese. I'd imagine there are great places to buy wonderful bath products...but not up here in Ricepaddycountry. :(

What the hell is a metrosexual, anyways?

16. ....

Speaking of METRO...I really miss living back in Washington.

(I move back there in May! :D )

19. Well, an early welcome back to you!

Looks like Christine is going to be guv'nah, so things aren't too bad here after all!

Good reading!

18. Gotcha. Thx!

Well, I guess that clears THAT up. Alas, I'm not a metrosexual. I think the term that best describes my lifestyle is 'old greaser' (as in 'from a deadbeat to an...' ). But hey, we're people too! ;-)

20. Try contacting this guy.

I understand he knows where to get loofahs world wide: [e-mail]

21. No, no, no!

It's falafels, not loofahs. Falafels. :D
