Worst Case Scenario

Do I dare dork out and get these?

Yes. These are what you think they are. Knee-high acupuncture socks. ugh. and yes...I actually considered buying them. But, as I write this...I've come to my senses. Just because I am a total dork about Chi Med doesn't mean I need to comprise my appearance and fashion sense. I have already sworn to not be another practitioner wearing baggy hemp pants, those make-me-puke-in-my-mouth qi gong shoes, enormous crystal jewlery... and especially not these socks.
Still. That being said... my birthday is December 22nd. And if you want to get me these...it would probably result in a big wet one.
Thanks in advance!

Chinese Medicine is way cool!

She did it first...Gwyneth Paltrow wearing cupping marks to a New York film premiere. I was so proud of her you have no idea. Then there was Drew Barrymore talking about how her TCM doctor said she had Heart Fire (by the way...yikes!). Also there was Oprah trying out the acupoint Hegu on air. For a bit there, Chinese Medicine became so cool it was sick. Enrollment in schools rose, student loans were finally granted, most extended health plans started covering it, and my grandmother was even convinced that I wasn't practicing witchcraft! (thanks Oprah)
It's starting to seem so yesterday now. But, to me it's still way cool. It works, it makes sense, and ever tried a facial rejuvenation with acupuncture? ...it makes you smoking hot. Okay, maybe not smokin', but helps relieve tension creating lines and treats internal imbalances resulting in rad skin. Just ask Gwyneth.
