Why make do with tap water when you could take a bath in 1,000 bottles of Evian? Only in Miami!

One word: Eww! If you're having your hen do in Cheshire and fancy a spa weekend, you could have a deep conditioning hair treatment with actual bull semen. It's said to deeply penetrate hair follicles and leave your mane looking lustrous, thick and 'vivacious'. The semen is reportedly kept in the fridge so it doesn't smell...which clearly makes the whole thing completely natural and normal, right?
