It is the only way for me to calm my nerves.

That’s funny, I just went in for a wax today. (Brazilian) I, too, like the clean smooth feeling afterward. I would recommend Sue at NV Salon, about 250 south and 200 east. She tries her best to make it less painful, although not painless, but it’s waxing, of course it will hurt. And she is just pleasant to talk with as well.
Oh yeah, hairless is the way to go! :)

Twice. And honestly, though I have had two kids and a “shattered” 5th metacarpal, it hurts like CRAP!!! I actually cried, so here is for you being a wuss. Then again, I am no blond…

They just aren’t talking about it like us women are. But, be assured, they are waxing and loving it.

I swear…hair free is the way to be. It’s just cleaner.

(And if God didn’t want us to alter ourselves, he wouldn’t have invited wax!)

Better you than me darling. I’ve been working on my glamour–but the most pain I will put myself through for it is to workout.

More power to ya! Still, the though makes me automatically cross my legs and curl up into the fetal position.

Not as often as my husband would like, though. This is merely pointless social commentary.

I think it utterly bizarre and interesting that we live in a world where women are expected to alter themselves from a natural state (hairy) while men have no such requirements. And it’s not that women can choose to do this, it’s that if they DON’T make themselves hairless (create the illusion of thick, dark eyelashes, tan to change the color of their skin, etc) that is seen as a statement and a choice. The norm is for women to alter their physical appearance; if you are natural, you are weird.

Whereas men in their natural state are accepted, and if they choose to alter this (shaving, wearing makeup, etc) THAT is seen as a statement and weird.

Interesting.
