pants are optional?

I had an appt for a spa facial on Sat. I was running a tad late (stupid. didn't have my new debit card on me, so had to drive waaaay out of the way to get to the bank that is open on saturdays. anyway.) the woman calls me just as i'm driving in the parking lot. I apologize profusely, and tell her that I'm parking. She sounds a bit irritated, but oh well. I mean c'mon – we're talking like 5 minutes late tops. I walk into the shop, and she tells me to come back – introduces herself and I shake her hand. She then looks irritated and says "i'm D's mom from football." Uh, okay….am I supposed to know EVERY parent?? So. She then says "I'll need to you take all layers off the top, including your bra" What?? For a facial??? Uhm, okay. She then says "pants are optional." What??? PANTS ARE OPTIONAL FOR A FACIAL?? So confused. She leaves the room, and I'm getting a bit panicky that she's got me down for a massage instead of a facial. Eeek. She comes back, and says "okay, so we're doing a facial and foot wrap today, right?" confirmed (but seriously…WTF with pants optional??). It turns out that their idea of a facial is a neck/arms/shoulders/head massage PLUS a facial. All well & good except at this point i can't relax b/c 1) i feel badly that i didn't recognize her and 2) i'm still disturbed about the optional pants. I feel like she kinda rushed through the whole hour – guess she had to make up that 5 minutes that i was late. And everytime she would rub lotion on my neck/chest, the blanket would slip and all i could think was "Football mom does NOT need to see me naked." Not exactly the relaxing experience that i had hoped for! (oh, and in case you were wondering – i kept my pants on.)
