I am still holding out for the laser beam. My husband is not impressed. If threading was an option for me, they would have to use some form of rope, or chain.

Jha, I’d never heard of threading before this piece. Chelene mentioned it too. I think I’ll try it.
Thanks

There ARE ways other than waxing to get your brows done.

Threading, for example. Hurts for some, but many women who have undergone waxing have also expressed satisfaction and relative painlessness with brow-threading.

Becks, Idol was dead dull tonight without him. Too bad you missed him with R n K.

Lisa, good luck with the lasering. The imagery of your legs is positively charming!

Well, my motto right now is “eat, drink and be hairy”, I have now put my razor on strike in hopes of passively agressively attaining laser hair removal.

Driving down a country road at dusk on the weekend, I decided to roll up my trousers, and peel up my orange long johns, and expose my legs to my husband. I put my feet on the dashboard and stroked my ghostly white shins that looked like someone threw iron filings as well as the chisel at them. He almost fainted.

I always have to find some way to bother him, if I can avoid the wax and the razors, and attain my laser goal, it will be a double bonus.

In the name of love…rip more in the name of love…

Unfortunately, Reeg and Kelly alerted their security to my possible presence. So I wasn’t able to deliver Michael’s smoothie.

WP, styles change. Like I said in the column, Elizabethans used to bleed themselves to attain that white pallor. So it is confusing.

Jacy, when I was a cup reporter I did a story with this new professional called an “esthetician” I had to ask how this was spelled and what it meant. That was some 25 years go. The rise of the esthetician explains the rise of waxing, but also the rise of porno as you said earlier.

Dick as usual you find the absurdity and drill down on it. Lumberjack!

It’s all about competition. A person waxes to make themselves more youthful looking. I assume that’s why most guys shave their faces too.
So here I am with 4cm long eyebrow hairs, hairy ears, hairy nostrils, and … hairy back. :-0 and in walks the preened hairless competition and leaves with the hairless girl. If I want the hairless girl, then I must remove my hair too. It works both ways, of course.
Where it gets confusing is if the hair removal is to look more youthful, then why aren’t these women getting breast reductions too?

I love a man with a hairy chest. Hairy back, no, but hairy chest? YES!

That Burt Reynolds shot was HOT! I don’t like this whole “man waxing” trend either. What is going on in the world???

It’s odd for me, growing up with the references that linked chest hair with masculinity in old cartoons and of course, Burt Reynolds on the bear rug.

Yeah, that is what I want on my chest when I grow up. It’s bad enough I have to worry about my weight at the pool, now I have to get chest ‘scaped too?
