on Haight?

i get the same shameful creepy vibe with them too. and i'm sure i'm overacting/over-reading into them yes - so settle down people. but there's one in particular up on franklin @ sutter called "silk". walking by, i always see glimpses what could be charged as "decadent" or "class-based". there's just something unsavory about seeing a bunch of (yes, almost always all white) 30something women, reclining, being pampered and buffed (often while sipping champagne and nibbling hors’dourves) while a crew of (almost always all) asian women literally kneel at their feet and attend them. it just seems so old world colonial. it's in pac heights. what a shocker.

yes, i get that it's voluntary and they're paid for their efforts. still, that image always strikes me as questionably offensive whenever i walk by.

We're in San Francisco, so of course there's going to be Bourgeois displays of affluence..
but who exactly associates getting your nails done with "Zen?"

These little "posh" mini-day spas are popping up all over the city. One is opening by my bank on Fulton & Masonic.

They stick out like an eye sore, a blatant reminder of the divide between the income levels that exist in this city. Being an ex-massage therapist, I wonder what kind of puppy mill massage wages they fork over, 20% therapist/80% house? It would not surprise me.
