Filed under: General Musings

Dearest Circus Hour Readers,

New week, new plans…

After a fun-filled time here on Circus Hour, the two of us have decided to pursue a different direction and return to posting on separate blogs:  Gallery of the Absurd (art and satire) and CandyKirby.com (celebrity, news & pop culture commentary/formerly Holy Candy).

For those who enjoyed our satirical collaborations, never fear — we enjoyed them, too, which is why we’re going to continue working together on a weekly(ish) basis.  So be sure to follow GOTA and CK to see what we have in store!  Not only that, but Gallery …

HOT FIND: Facial Sandblaster

Move over micro-dermabrasion and chemical peels — we’ve found something even more abrasive!

The Circus Hour team flipped for the Beauty Blaster, whose effects are similar to sandpaper, but with a more even finish and way less bleeding. Just blast and shed years from your face — not to mention most of your skin layers!

Celebrities such as Renee Zellweger have been fan of this treatment for years,” gushed Beauty Blaster founder, Anastasia Nikolaevna (formerly Jenny Walker). “We guarantee nothing will make your face redder …

HOT PICK: Discarded Prepuce

Don’t let your looks get the shaft — snip away those fine lines with Foreskin for Your Skin!
