Missy is a classy, elegant, gorgeous lady  in our neighborhood who is  living just across the street in a white house with beautiful garden and a sprawling swimming pool.   Neighbors can’t help but speculate that she might be the likes of the legendary Cleopatra who in history has always said that she did use milk baths during her time.  Thus, milk bath is associated with rich women.  And everytime our snooping neighbors see Missy, she intrigued them no end thus, make them conclude that her smooth, white and silky skin is the result of her soaking in elegant clawfoot tubs full of milk and honey just like what Cleopatra did in her olden times.  She was famous for her beautiful skin  allegedly because of her beauty rituals of bathing in fresh milk.  However, there is no ancient source to support that she ever did so but I remember mom told me that in one movie  (huh ! forgot the title), she was shown bathing in milk.

Nowadays, it is a common practice to have milk baths especially those who have money to buy gallons of fresh milk.   But one thing for sure, our neighbor Missy’s advantage to Cleopatra is that she has around 2 classy clawfoot tubs which is unheard of during her time.  How did we know about the tubs?   Her cleaning lady raved about it in one of her mindless conversation with our group.

so this is a clawfoot tub!

Hmmm.. Soaking in a classy tub with milk and honey.. how can one not feel and look beautiful!

Our neighbors should better order a dozen for themselves…. (peace!)
