...tends toward a kind of monotonous and outsize wackiness. A lot of it has more in common with precincts or buildings than with the usual conventions of sculpture: surrealism, mixed with primitivist nostalgia, is its presiding spirit.

This "face ironing" is followed by a herbal or seaweed steam facial, manual and deep-pore cleansing, a tightening mask and a makeup consultation. More and more men are showing up in skin-treatment centers too: 10% of Arpel...
...burden of world financial power that Saudi Arabia so far has escaped is worry about the day-to-day fluctuations of its own currency. The Saudi riyal (rhymes with gee doll) is rarely even seen by foreign money traders, and its value essentially is fixed by the Saudis themselves-quite puzzlingly. Though the riyal...
