Bikini Waxing Essential to Be Sexy?

23 March, 2007 (15:03) | Hair Removal Stories | By: Veronique

This article about a woman fearing her first bikini wax is meant to be entertaining (and it is in a way) but it really throws up how ridiculous the whole world of beauty sometimes is.

Because the writer fears she will not be sexy without undergoing the pain, embarrassment and discomfort of having a Brazilian wax.

Does she think that no one ever had good sex before we ever heard of such a thing as a bikini line waxing?

Do you think the lack of Brazilian waxing put an end to Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, Romeo and Juliet or Adam and Eve or any of those other famous pairs throughout history and literature?

If men don’t find her sexy without her undergoing such a painful procedure, then the answer is to find other men – plenty of them around who wouldn’t have a clue what a Brazilian was ….

Leg Waxing for Charity Fundraising

19 March, 2007 (12:25) | Hair Removal Stories | By: Veronique

It now seems to be a bit of a trend (along with head shaving) for guys to get their legs waxed to raise money for charity.

One group of young rugby players did just that recently for Comic relief – an annual charity fundraiser in the UK which raises money through fun events. Not sure the rugby players thought it was much fun having girls pulling off a strip of wax at £1 a time though :)

(Good for the guys to know what we girls suffer in the name of beauty anyway)

“It hurt quite a lot. I’ve never felt pain like that before, that’s the first leg waxing experience I’ve ever had – and the last as well.”

Should Threading be Regulated?

18 March, 2007 (06:07) | Hair Removal News | By: Veronique

Threading is growing in popularity as a means to remove facial hair – in particular keeeping eyebrows neat – and a growing number of beauty salons are starting to offer it.

But while licences are required for almost all beauty and spa treatments in California and other parts of the USA, legislators are still deliberating about regulating this practice. Although the procedure has been done for thousands of years threading is something which girls of Middle Eastern and Asian origin mostly learn at home and there is no official training.

Update : This post originally pointed to an article which is no longer available in the San Jose Mercury News about the dangers of unregulated threading and how hair removal legislation needs to catch up with actual practice. However if practicing technicians needed a hair removal licence how would that be granted as there is no official training?
