Dig, if you will, a picture: You. Lying supine. Supremely relaxed.

Slathered in caviar.

A hedonistic fantasy gone terribly awry or the latest over-the-top beauty treatment? (Strange how the two so often converge.)

Don’t ask. Just proceed directly to La Prairie at the Ritz-Carlton Spa for the ultra-luxe (and ultra-pricey) Caviar Firming Facial. Yeah, it sounds pretty odd, but the fans can’t stop raving about it. The creams used are a concentration of caviar extracts and sea proteins, which purports to lift skin, hydrate, restore, exfoliate, and even out skin tone. And it feels damn good. The added bonus: It makes a great conversation piece.

“So this morning, while I was up to my eyeballs in fish roe … ”

And you thought the stuff was just for blini.
