[OT] Bikini Waxing
On 2006-06-10, badwilson penned:
This exact scenario has happened between me and Dennis on several occasions. Usually in 3 year intervals. I think I've finally gotten to the point where I'm not willing to try again. If only my hair wasn't strawberry blond, I would have just had it permanently lasered off in Thailand. But alas, I am destined to shave forever... Why does the color of the hair affect getting it lasered? -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Wax is a pain (literally) Try Nair or something similar but keep the stuff away from the cats! As a teenager, I tried Nair once on my legs and remember 1) My legs turned red and hurt 2) No sign of it actually making any attempt at removing hair from my legs Given #1, I wouldn't dare to put it near anything as sensitive as ... eek! (Granted, it was about 15 years ago and the formula may have improved since.) -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

No, I won't dye my hair either - it's too expense to keep up with if you go to a beauty salon, and too easily messed up if you try to do it yourself (at least for me it is). I've lived mostly dye-free, but for a time I had chin-length hair in which the front inch or so was bleached an almost-white blonde, and the rest was dyed a deep and distinctive (not entirely natural) red. Loved it. Also had a time with much shorter hair in which I had red with blonde highlights. So expensive, though, and absolutely not something I'd want to try at home. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

OK, but you get to wear boxer trunks at the beach if you want to - I don't think they make those for women (but they should - not every women looks like Cindy Crawforn in a swimsuit!!!). ; But not every swimsuit requires a "bikini" wax, either! Certainly every one I've ever had covered that area more than adequately. (Even my "midriff" hasn't seen the sun for a lot of years.) Absolutely. I have *never* bought a swimsuit that required special "grooming". Ugh. Sherry |

Heh. Hygiene, indeed. This is third-hand information, but a translator colleague told me about this medical study she had translated, where they'd discovered that women who shaved their armpits were more susceptible to breast cancer. This was because the aluminium that is present in most deodorants travels unobstructed into the bloodstream through the open follicles, while if you have armpit hair, they protect you against this. One reason I stopped shaving is that my armpit skin is extremely sensitive. Shaving + deoderant = owwwwwww. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Don't be so daft. People with firm skin and peach fuzz don't need a beauty therapist. I'm sure that you would not need to be embarrassed, they've seen all sorts after all. Myself, I've decided to age gracefully. I have some grey hairs now. I will not dye my hair for vanity. I like to think of my grey hairs being a sign of wisdom through experience. LOL, I got my first grey hairs when I was 13, what does that make me? Wise beyond my years? P By 25, I had completely silver hair, and by 35 it had turned completely white. I don't dye it, and never did, except when I was around 17-22 or so, when I had all the colours of the rainbow in my hair, but that wasn't to hide the greys. That was to be 'cool.' -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

One reason I stopped shaving is that my armpit skin is extremely sensitive. Shaving + deoderant = owwwwwww. I agree. And given a choice between shaving and deodorant, I'm gotta go with the deodorant. Of course it was easier to make that decision when I got to the point where I really shouldn't be out in public in anything totally sleeveless. (But when the heat tops 100F around here all bets are off for just about everyone. If you absolutely have to go out) Jo |

"Monique Y. Mudama" wrote in message ... Well, obviously you should do whatever makes you feel comfortable. My mom tried to shame me into shaving, and even told me, "If you weren't dating [ex-bf], you would have to shave to get a boyfriend." Hrmph! Hasn't been true thus far in my life, and obviously that kind of BS is what I'm still reacting to (sub)consciously today. Yeah, I can see where you'd rebel - that was an awful thing to say (but then reading about your mom, that one doesn't surprise me). *sigh* sadly true. Therapy is helping immensely. I'm really starting to understand myself, for example why my anger (even rage) flares up so easily. No wonder, when I had to deal with these kinds of comments! It's hard to be mad at your mom, so I found ways to redirect. I love my mother. Please don't take anything I say as meaning anything other than that. I also know that she loves me and never meant to hurt me. I can only assume she has her own emotional baggage. As they say, children don't come with a manual. I think some of my feelings about this issue come from having grown up in a different era. I certainly don't think I should tell someone else what's right for them, I'm a *FIRM* believer in "different strokes for different folks". I think the vast, vast majority of people in my generation expect women to shave all sorts of places, and consider it gross if they don't. *shrug* I agree with "different strokes," for sure. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

If I *have* to submerge my body in water in a public place, I go in in bike shorts and a crop top. Then I only have to worry about my pits and legs. Mind you, if I am actually willing to submerge my body in water, it probably means that the area is so secluded, there's no-one around to worry about whether my pits or legs are hairy, so the crop top and bike shorts become optional anyway. ~~ I WANNA BE A BEAR In my next life I wanna be a female bear. If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could do that. If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cut cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that. If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them, too. I could deal with that. If you're a bear, your mate "expects" you to wake up growling. He "expects" that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. Yup! I wanna be a bear." ~~ I'm already half way there :-) Yowie |
