The late Robin Williams once quipped that cocaine was "God's way of saying that you have too much money". In our more abstemious times, it seems that detoxing now fulfils that role. Not content with dispensing advice on her lifestyle website Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow recently ran an exclusive health-and-wellness exhibition in New York. This involved "well-groomed women wearing yoga pants and expensive handbags hooking themselves up to IVs and oxygen tubes in a parking lot", writes Maureen Callahan in The New York Post. As well as these "experiences otherwise associated with the glamour of getting triaged at a disaster site", attendees were able to watch as a surgeon carried out a live "ten-minute facelift" (just $3,500) on a patient under local anaesthetic.
