Holy flashback…the very first time I participated in leg-hair removal, it was the late 80s, I was 11, super-duper impressionable and friends with a girl my age who I thought was basically the coolest person ever. She was already shaving her legs, and told me I needed to do the same (again, I was 11). Because she was coolest person ever, and I had no mind of my own, I knew she was right. We used her sisters Epi…I can still feel the micro-ripping of my delicate, 11 year-old leg hair. I had no idea this wasn’t a normal method of leg-hair removal, so I didn’t even dare shave my legs until two years later, when I was 13, and my mom bought me a super-pack of Lady Gillette razors and Skintimate shave foam. If you’re into the masochistic hair-removal method then YES, the Epi is for you!!

I love threading! There is a great place I go to each month in DC. I’d never do it myself though–too much work.

Never thought about the toe thing…hmmm…

I’m compiling funny pieces from blogs I read and your comment about threading being waxing’s lesbian sister cracks me up. You’ve been quoted on my blog!

Eeeee. I’ve never heard of this before and I am going to carry on like I never have. Shudder.

oh my gosh, over-plucking or over-waxing eyebrows is my biggest cosmetic fear. Whenever I go to a new place to wax ‘em (once a year or so, just to give me clean lines to follow with regular home maintenance), I always ask for the stylist with the thickest brows, because I know I can trust her.

Ok, ok, I feel you on this BIG TIME. Last week, I had my routine eyebrow threading. Happens about every, oh, I dunno, six weeks or so. I prefer it to waxing for the precision and minimal redness, since I typically do this little hair removal procedure on my lunch hour. Anyways…

This particular time, my usual gal was away. Um, bad news all around. The “new girl” over threaded my right brow. I’m sort of bald-esk there as a result. Fuck! Then (here’s the kicker) the bitch UP-SELLS me to include my upper lip, something along the lines of: “you want upper lip, too? You seem to need it.” Um, way to step on my self confidence, right?

So I do it.

The result: I’ve been nursing a partially bald right eyebrow and four rash bumps on my upper lip since then.

Lesson here: Stick to your usual hair removal expert, one who DOESN’T up-sell your ass.

haha, sadly, I’m not that kind of girl anymore. My first day in Boston, I bought a razor and was like, “Okay, dude, you’re single now. You have to shave your legs and pits every single day.” Which I stuck to for about a week. I’m pretty fuzz-free now, though.

Although obviously I’m pro-body-hair! I think pit hair looks really good on women! Everyone’ll get an earful of my body hair pride when I finally go waxing. There was no room for it in this post, sadly.

Jeez louise. I think I will stick to shaving.

Shaving my FACE, that is.
