Ok, so call me crazy, but I decided for my upcoming wedding and trip to Aruba, that I would do the unthinkable:
Get my legs waxed. And why stop there? I think I’ll get a bikini wax too!
Fabulous, right? So because I’m such a chicken and my friend H knows it, she offered to go along and do the bikini thing. Crazier than the legs, I know, but she doesn’t want to get her legs waxed. Anyway, a salon was recommended to her by a friend at work and H calls to make the appointment for us. (cause she’s my personal assistant or something) I’ll be going through this torture 3 days before my wedding so that my body can calm down before I require it to walk down an obnoxiously long aisle.
So in the middle of making the appointment H asks about pricing. The lady says that for a leg/bikini combo, it’ll be $105. Not bad right? For just a bikini it’ll be $35. Also not bad. But then, the lady says, “We also do Brazilian bikini wax”. I’m sorry, what? I believe my heart just skipped a beat.
My mind immediately flashed back to a couple of months ago, when for some reason or another, I was watching The View and Starr Jones was talking about how, now included in a brazillian are fun little designs you can have “down there”. You know, like landing strips and the like. I guess it’s not just about going bare anymore!
So, (and yes H, I AM about to tell the world this) because I’m sure that L will have an opinion about this, I ask him what he would like. I wish I could have been around to watch his reaction, especially since I emailed him this question at work, but unfortunately I only have his funny answers to go by. After trying to figure out what exactly it is I was talking about and then explaining the different “options” to him, he all but jumped on the bandwagon for the option that was “more fun”. Of course this will be fun for him, he’s not having his hair ripped out of his flesh.
So that’s it girls, I’m goin’ under. Of course, I’m not telling the world what I’ll actually pick, but if you have a husband or boyfriend, you can draw your own conclusions.
I’m not sure what will be more of the cause of my walking funny: the pre-wedding activities, or the post-wedding activities. Only time will tell!
I am terrified, this could traumutize me for life!!!
I think you’re right!
let me know how it goes. i’ve been wanting to try one. but – despite having given birth – i’m afarid. friends have said its actually worse than mid-sized labor pains. yeaow.
fyi – from a recent conversation with friends on this subject, I have gotten this valuable information: don’t get the ‘landing strip.’ they say (and their husbands’ feedback agrees) it looks really wierd and isn’t really flattering. apparently you can get a natural-ish shape that looks nice but is still pretty bare. i can ask for the real name if you’re interested.
sooooooooo – good luck with all that.
ow ow ow owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
