hiddenmuseNo, this isn't an offer to take a bath in the Lincoln Bedroom. This is actually a service offered by the Regent Wall Street Hotel in New York City.
For $95.00 USD, you can have a "certified hotel employee ... pour you the "Retro" bath - one among many on their extensive bath menu (with Mr. Bubble), which also includes a choice of CDs, candles, reading material, a bath brush, a beverage of choice, and -- completing the regression -- a rubber ducky."
Granted, their tubs are 6 feet long, but, that does seem a bit expensive for a bath. And "Certified Hotel Employee"? How, exactly, does one go about becoming certified to pour baths for guests?
Sure it would be fun to have $95 to throw around indiscriminately like that - but I could have a similar experience, albeit in a shorter tub, at home for a lot less.
Mr. Bubble - Free. Got a bottle of it at home, actually.
CDs - Free. Barenaked Ladies' Maybe You Should Drive is really good soak-in-the-bathtub music.
Candles - Free. I'm a Yankee Candle Company whore, so I have my share of those candles.
Reading Material - price varies. If it's the Everyday section of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, I get that delivered to my door every morning (the entire paper, that is). Otherwise, I think the anthology Aqua Erotica would be fun reading - especially since it's waterproof.
Bath Brush - unnecessary, 'cause I don't use one.
Beverage of Choice - available at no charge. Adult beverages can be purchased beforehand. ;)
Rubber Ducky - about $5.00 at Target
Not paying a "Certified Hotel Employee" to meddle in my bathing experience - PRICELESS.
