It's the kind of story tailor-made for a slow news month. To go into the annals of creepy/gimmicky treatments along with cupping and leeches (did you know they're back?) here's a pedicure for those who find having their toes buffed and scrubbed by an actual person just too pedestrian: Instead, you can stick your feet in a fish tank and have all your rough skin nibbled away by tiny karp. Allegedly the practice started in Turkey, is popular in some Asian countries, and has of course been enjoyed by Vanessa Williams' Wilhelmina in Ugly Betty. Still, we wouldn't recommend holding your breath waiting for it to come to your local Korean salon. After the jump, see Diane Sawyer break out the "fish-cam" and let the hungry fish loose on her feet, a sensation she describes as like "tiny little kisses."
