[OT] Bikini Waxing

Persis Khambatta looked very sexy as the bald Lieutenant Ilia in, Star

released in 1979 but it has been on television plenty of times over the
years.

There were several years, back then, when top European
fashion models were shaving their heads, too. Fine if one
has perfect features, not so attractive otherwise.
Fortunately, unlike bald men, they had a choice, and only
did so if they had the face to be enhanced by it! (Although
there've been quite a few bald men I thought looked sexy
without hair, too - Patrick Stewart and Yul Brynner, for
example.)

I think you can have a youthful or fun vibe without requiring crazy
colors and piercings. Anyway, while I'm not familiar with wineries,
every coffee shop has mostly funky young kids, but also a couple of
adults of the type that are cool, but don't need to dress a certain
way to be so =)


Can't you buy "clamp-on" jewlery for other portions of your
anatomy, just as you can clamp-on earrings? I'm sure I've
seen nose-rings that didn't need a pierced nostril, so I'd
assume you could get them for eyebrows, navels, etc, too
(assuming you really wanted to).

I saw a man a few months ago who had hair only about one-fourth of an
inch long. He would definitely have looked better with longer hair,
as he had a central ridge running back-to-front on his head that made
him look rather like a current-Star-Trek Klingon.

I was going to suggest something similar. There are fake tattoos,
so why not fake piercings? Something that clamps on, like Evelyn
said, or maybe pastes on like a bindi?

OK, maybe you'd feel really ridiculous trying to fake it like that
for a job. I would definitely wear such things for a costume party,
but it might be hard to keep up all the time for work. On the other
hand, how much contact will you have with this manager? Maybe you
can fake him out, and then go back to being you most of the time?

Also, aren't there temporary hair colors? Maybe you could put on
a small, pink stripe or something.

I think the shape of the *head* is more important than the shape of
the face. I've seen men who've shaved their heads, and to me, it just
doesn't work, because their head is lumpy-looking or some odd shape.
I guess a lot of guys do it to hide pattern baldness or grey hair,
but it just doesn't look good with every kind of head.

Joel's a real man. He has *two*, yes, count them, one, two hairs on his
chest. LOL.

But he gets bored and plucks them out. Says its embrassing having two big
black curlies when the rest of his chest is devoid of anything more than
peach fuzz. Besides, they'd interfere with his tattoos (yeah, right).


I don't tease Mike about having a bear pelt any more, as he got upset
about me teasing him and shaved it all off his chest and tummy. He
suffered as it grew back in.

Rob has over a dozen chest hairs to his credit. I prefer him that way,
which is funny. Poor Mike feels so self conscious about his pelt, that
we don't tease him about it any more. I have pointed out to him that
there are women who get off on men with hair on their backs.

Bingo. If all women ceased shaving immediately, I find it highly
unlikely that the state of "ewwww, she doesn't shave" would last very
long.

I haven't seen any evidence yet that the boss has encouraged her or
talked to her in any way about style choices. Seems a little early
to start coming up with ways to be different when, for all we know,
the boss is happy to have her as is!

I knew a guy when i was growing up, he looked like the Missing Link: hairy all
over fronm the neck to his ankles, like an ape. You could barely see his skin
for all the thick, dark hair. The big problem was, this guy was a drag queen.
He used to pay his neighbor, a friend of mine, to do marathon waxing sessions
every few weeks where they'd just start at the top and rip their way down the
length of the man's body, including certain sensitive spots. This was in the
days before any joe blow could open up a day spa in this area, and the guy
used to drive twenty miles out of town for the wax.

Owwww...owwww...owwww.
