Full Body Massage: Do you TAKE IT OFF?

Yesterday to celebrate Mardi Spas we asked you: How much do you TAKE IT OFF for a full body massage?

This is one of the most common questions asked about spa etiquette. The correct answer: There is no correct answer… it’s however you’re comfortable.

Between Twitter, Facebook and the official Mardi Spas blog post results, here’s how it all panned out:

For 3 of you, your comfort zone is leaving something to the imagination:

Briana I’m a leave the undies on kind of girl.

Sandiegoamyc: For my massage- I always leave my underwear on! I guess I am a little shy!

Casey Byrd I do to the undies; my massage girl can reach under to get at whatever she wants.

For 6 of you, it depends:

diego17 If the therapist says take off your clothes - then I take all my clothes off. If they say take off as much as you like, I keep my panties on.

Foodie If they hand me a towel - totally naked. No towel, I stick with the boxers.

dobr67 For me all clothes have to come off. When I go for a massage I want to be able to totally relax without feeling confined at all. I hate it when the therapist wraps me up so tight in the blanket to avoid seeing anything. I just want full relaxing strokes, and the clothes just get in the way. People are way too uptight about their bodies.

thattweetthing I’ve gotten full body massages. I usually keep on my underwear and then get under a heated blanket or whatever completely nude everywhere else :)

shweetandlow I’ll start with them one and see how things go….. ;)

Hope I take it all off except if its that time of the month.

No questions asked for these 9 spa-goers. They TAKE IT ALL OFF (baby)!

Kim I take it all off, baby!

Jennifer All of course

Ericka Pendley everything must go! I want my glutes and lower back worked on, and the best way to have it done is by letting the therapist get into those places to release triggers. Everything in the body is connected. Your shoulders may hurt because your lower back is out of whack. I don’t want to cheat myself when getting a massage. The therapist doesn’t think twice about seeing naked bodies, there really is no reason to be self conscious around them. (speaking from experience :)

Bill Commando

Deborah J. Glidden Everett All. If you embarrassed about your body get a better self image. If your therapist is then you need a new therapist.

Erica I take it all off!

Linda Wilson The only way to get a full body massage is being in your Birthday Suit!!!

Shannon (@fauxlashes) take it ALL off ba-by.

Leslee Lauser I’m naked as a Jailbird.

And the winner, chosen at random from our official blog entries, is:

random-number-generator-12kim-i-take-it-all-off

Kim, please contact me at michelle @spaweekmedia.com with your address to claim your prize: a set of 4 spa-themed glass coasters and a Queen Helene Mint Julep Face Mask! Thanks to everyone who celebrated the world’s first Mardi Spas!

Australian Model, Shanina, Talks about Pilates, Zits and Being Naughty

New York Fashion Week Model Moment: Shanina, an Australian model from the Iodice Fall 2010 presentation, takes a breather with Spa Week Daily.

Iodice presentation model, Shanina resting on the steps.

Spa Week Daily: What time did you start today?

Shanina: I started at 10:30 AM for hair and makeup. At the moment it was very busy for all models, of course it’s fashion week so I’ve had a lot of castings and running around with fittings to go to and my day doesn’t end after this actually.

SWD:What did you eat this morning?

Shanina: I’m a little naughty. I didn’t eat this morning. I had water. When I’m home and I have time after this I need to eat because it’s important to keep your energy up.

SWD: Is there a certain time of night that you stop eating on a normal basis?

Shanina: For myself I’m a bit of health freak. Usually after 4 o’clock when it slows down and its not good to have a lot of heavy stuff after that time. Probably the latest would be about 8 and don’t eat two hours before you go to bed.

SWD: Do you work out often? Do yoga?

Shanina: I like to do Pilates. I don’t like yoga. I don’t know why. I like Pilates because of the core work and I jump rope for a half and hour when I can.

SWD: How many times a day do you wash your face?

Shanina: I think it’s always important to take your makeup off. After shows you should always try to take your makeup off just to air your skin out. At night I always wash off my makeup and cleanse, tone and moisturize. At the moment in the winter it’s very important to moisturize your face.

SWD: Do you ever get zits?

Shanina: Everyone get zits. All models get them. There are certain times when you do get them, but you can always look after your skin with a lot of water. It really keeps your skin looking healthy and fresh.

SWD: When was the last time you’ve been to a spa?

Shanina: I’ve never been to a spa actually. I’ve never had a facial done before. I have all these products at home that I use. (Never?? That’s what WE call naughty!)

SWD: When was the last time you took a relaxing bubble bath?

Shanina: I have a really big bath at home but I never use it. I like really hot showers and I use products to exfoliate my body. That’s when I’m really relaxed. It’s like my pampering day.
