Well, it would be difficult to find a skeleton for a sponge because, 
well, they don't have skeletons! :)  That's no worry though, because a 
lot of designer stores sell real sponges for baths and stuff.  You could 
look around in the Bon, or maybe a Nordstroms or Bath and Body works 
maybe.  I'm not a big shopper, but I know a lot of nicer stores sell real 
sponges instead of synthetic ones.  They look like little orange chunks 
of foam, I'm sure you've seen pictures.  Your best bet would be to call 
around, looking for stores that sell real sponges.  Shouldn't be too hard.
