good for you! I think there will always be another kiosk to grapple with, unfortunately!

They got me once for some eye cream. A salesman at another kiosk tried, unsuccessfully, to get me for the natural heating pad thing; he then used that strange-looking head massager thing on me and told me that it really feels crazy if you’re smoking a joint. He told me I could be his “beautiful model” anytime. Throughout the whole thing I told him I would not buy anything. Now when I walk by, they just smile at me, but at least no one there tries to sell me anything any more. One kiosk down…how many to go?

I’d actually love it if some huckster called you pretty in an effort to get you to buy his hand manicure set–lots of funny in that!

Yet another reason for me to avoid the mall, though if some huckster called me pretty I might have a different reaction. Glad you feel it, though.

yeah, he told me his name and said that I can come back anytime and get the whole set–with his employee discount, of course:-)

I bought from that kiosk before, too. Because they made my finger nail super shiny by polishing it. I was MAGIC!

Well, selling or not, he was right on with the “pretty” part.

Those people at that kiosk are very convincing and he was probably Israeli because they all sound like they brought the stuff here from the Dead Sea themselves. I have some of the scrub and the lotion and the scrub is especially good…Josh got it for me for Christmas a couple years ago : ) It’s so funny to hear you talk about that kiosk because I always get a little nervous when I have to go by that one. I even tell them I already have some as I’m passing by and they still try to get me to stop. There’s no shame in buying something from them, especially because what they’re selling is actually good : )
