Brazillian or Bikini....That IS the Question

Or Not at All....

My Real Life Sister over at The Phrase Working Mother is Redundant would appreciate this conversation....as it is a debate we've had a many times over the years....with even our supportive and loving husbands pitching in their two cents...(which in this economy is now worth a whopping 1 1/2 cent)


To Wax.....Down There.....Or Not To Wax....Down There......


So recently....during one of my weekly Mommy Getaways.....where a fellow mommy and good friend....actually get 2 hours of being a non-mommy.....and for once...even our topic of discussion was not focused on play groups...aqua tots....and sleeping patterns.....

As we were sitting over our lattes my ever so news conscious friend brought up the fact that NJ wants to put a lifetime ban on any waxing of the nether regions.....as there have been cases in the past of women and men getting infections after their procedure...

Now, I think the ban is how to put it delicately....Ridiculous....as you can possibly get an infection from getting a pedicure....(and I think our local Action news won an award on that story....

If you want to go and pay to get hair ripped out of one of the most sensitive areas of your body...it's your prerogative...I think we all take chances...even getting fake tans...or hair bleaching....If you've ever seen even one episode of Judge Mathis....you know some of the crazy stories that come out of Cosmetology gone bad....

But I digress....so as conversations are like rivers...and meander...and change......the topic moved on to whether do we....or would we ever venture to get our (pointing down) parts waxed as smooth as a baby's butt....

Both my friend here....and my sister....are huge proponants of temporary Pain.....for longer lasting....bareness......

I think they are Crazy...I get my eyebrows waxed....and I do have nerve receptors...thank you....so I can only imagine.....take eyebrow pain.....add more sensitivity....divide by how many strips....mulitply pain factor....subtract satisfaction at end result....and you still get one hell of an OUCH.....

There is not enough Booze in the world...to give me the liquid courage to expose myself...to the equivilant of modern day torture....when my bic...and Gilette Foamy work just as well....(minus the razor burn)

Now I'm not player hating...

I give mad props...(throw'n down the Ebonics) to my peeps....and anyone else who is brave enough to endure getting a Bikini wax....

and getting a Brazilian...you might as well be into Sado masochism....


I'm just too darn chicken.....


And to prove my point....I have an informative Video For your Viewing Pleasure....





Let's just not let the banning committee of New Jersey see this.....I don't think they need any more help in the Crazy Department....
