Hair Removal...
(I don't have a clue as to who wrote this, but....WHAT A RIOT!)
All hair removal methods have tricked women with their
promises of easy, painless removal - The
Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair
and now...the wax.
Read on.........My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home,
fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would
ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours:'Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the
medicine cabinet.'So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom.It was one of those 'cold wax' kits. No melting a clump of
hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm
and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else)
and you pull the hair right off.No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius,but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips
facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my
genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees.('Cold wax,' yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh.Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I
can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of
all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on
the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair
fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using
the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of
my bikini line, covering the right half of my
hoo-ha and stretching
down to the inside of my butt cheek (it *was* a long strip) I inhale
deeply and brace myself....
RRRRIIIPPP!!!!I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull
off half the strip. CRAP! Another deep breath and
RIPP! Everything
is spinning and spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...
must stay conscious.Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back
to normal.I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that
has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want
to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up
the strip. There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet.
I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch.I am touching wax.I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body,
which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next
BIG mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet?
I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what
to do and think to myself 'Please don't let me get the urge to poop.
My head may pop off!' What can I do to melt the wax?Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water
I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and
the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???*WRONG!!!!!!!*
I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that
used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment -
I sit.Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions
glued together, is having them glued together and then glued to
the bottom of the tub...in scalding hot water. Which, by the way,
doesn't melt cold wax.So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I
had cemented myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had
convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and
has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good
conversation starter 'So, my butt and
hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of
the tub!'There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks
for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants
to know exactly where the wax is located, 'Are we talking cheeks or hole
or hoo-ha?'She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her
the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone
else's night.While we go through various solutions. I resort to trying
to scrape the wax off with a razor . Nothing feels better than to have
your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub
in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major
hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress
counseling for this event.My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my
saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and OH
MY GOD!!!!!!!The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out
of my friend. It's
sooo painful, but I really don't care. 'IT WORKS!!It works!!'I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up.I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice
to my grief and despair....THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now.
Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point.Next week I'm going to try hair color....
