Snake Massage



For a mere 300 shekels (US$70) you can walk into Ada Barak’s health and beauty spa in Northern Israel and have a few snakes slither across your body.

Performed in Northern Israel by therapist Ada Barak, a therapeutic snake massage involves having six non-venomous serpents slip and slide down you spine to release your tensions and relieve your aching muscles. The snakes used in the treatment are a mixture of corn snakes, milk snakes and California and Florida King snakes. According to Barak if people can get over their revulsion of serpents they usually find the sensation very soothing.

Valerie Chiang

Though Raleigh, North Carolina-based Valerie Chiang is not a professional photographer (rather, she is a student at Oberlin Conservatory studying piano performance), her photos certainly speak volumes.

Just 18-years-old, Chiang tells us she's been taking pictures only for the last year and a half. "When people look at my photos, I want them to feel as though they are momentarily transported into a fantasy world. I try to create 'dreamscapes,' where people can use my photographs as a method of escapism."
