can anyone help? i used to have a scraper thing which you use after a shower to get most of the water off your skin. it's about a foot long, like a long tongue, and slightly curved. i think it was called an indian towel, and i think i got it from the body shop! all searches are coming up blank. does anyone know what i'm talking about, and can you help me to find a place to buy another one?!
thanks for reading.

ok, talking to myself again
i've found this
bodyflick thing, which serves the same purpose. i wanted a wooden one, but i think this will have to do.
it's actually a strigil of sorts, but i just want to use it to help dry myself after showering. it exfoliates too, and saves on towel washing.

I was going to say it's a strigil.........as used in Roman times - was tempted to post a painting featuring one, but as it contains a particularly comely wench in a state of deshabille, I desisted.......... (for Art-lovers, Alma Tadema, "The Tepidarium)

no, i didn't order a feather as it didn't really tickle my fancy
bodyflik looks great. perfect for window cleaners who like to shower a lot.

I was going to sugest the simoniz one that you use on a car body but seeing as you are sorted I'll go back to polishing the car..

I took a photo of my mum for a competition a few years ago, she's nude (she has a strategically placed blanket which covers up the fact that she was actually wearing pants...) but has her back to the camera. she explained it to my dad as :"if it's in black and white or it's painted, then it's art."
He then insisted that as it's art they should have a copy of it in the diningroom, preferably above his desk
they do. my brothers and sister find it embarassing but it makes me proud. didn't get anywhere with the competition though lol!

the bodyflik is great. my skin is still a bit damp after using it, so then i just use a flannel to dry it completely plus a small towel to dry my (medium length) hair. i keep the shower cubicle closed so i don't get cold whilst drying myself!
