And on the second day…
If there was ever an occasion for a massage, the inauguration of Barack Obama is it. The crowds…the weather…the traffic…it’s enough to make even the most hardened political hack break down and cry.
Enter the Grooming Lounge, DC’s upscale pampering spot for men, which is offering – warning: bad pun ahead – an “Oba-massage” to customers, in addition to an Inaugural Ball Morning-After Package (to ease the hangovers of those celebrating Obama’s inauguration and the misery of those already longing for the Bush years…).
The “Oba-massage” is a creatively crafted – and worded – one-hour treatment, including…
-eco-friendly oils!
-hand massages for Blackberry users!
-“Economic stimulus via a special $75 for an hour rate ($15 savings)”!!!
“At the special rate, the Oba-Massage is a luxury even Joe the Plumber can afford!” writes the Lounge.
As for the morning after package, it includes a wake-up call (“because you’ll probably sleep through your alarm”), Town Car service, various massages and gels and treatments, hangover eye therapy, ear plugs, Alka Seltzer, two aspirin, mouthrinse and “The Grooming Lounge Bucket,” in case the $350 package doesn’t quite rid you all the damage you did the night before.
