are they in washrooms in public places?

I feel so embarrassed not seeing them and I've lived in the T-dot my whole life.

and yeah Bell sucks ass! I'm paying way too much for monthly phone bills!

Why? It's really not bad at all and the benefits are soooo worth it. The first time may be uncomfortable but if you keep up with it your hair actually becomes finer and easier to remove. I love love love it, and the men do too

All I can ever think of when I hear about waxing eyebrows is how waxing over time stretches the skin on your eyelid...

imagine what it does down there...

JustErin said:

oh christ. fuck that.
i'm good with shaving.

JustErin said:

stretches it out until it looks like a hamburger is hanging out


but seriously i'm sure waxing wouldn't do that to a person

JustErin said:

I've never heard that, but I will ask in class! The only thing I can think of is maybe when people use salacylic or lactic acid on their face that it would be a contraindication and might cause some loosening of the skin later on, as well as lifting of the skin. But I really doubt this theory....

CarrieLee said:

In all fairness, they were just talking about the skin on the eyelids since it's so thin.

JustErin said:

Well if they wax that maybe, but I don't wax my eye LIDS...the brow part yes, but I don't have hair on my lids!

CarrieLee said:

Oops. I meant eyebrow, not eyelid.

JustErin said:

You don't have eyelashes, Carrie?

I used to wax my legs and brows (relax the coochie)... but because waxing my legs cause hyperpigmentation (dark spotting on hair follicles) my legs looked polka dotted and I do not recommend waxing your legs on light-skinned black women.

I shave now, pits, legs (knees to ankles only), and my vajayjay. I keep my coochie clean shaven, do it every other day, front to back. Love the way the skin feels.

I pluck or thread my own eyebrows weekly.

I used to wax clients from forehead to toes, when I worked at a salon as a colorist. Waxing is relatively painless if done right, but you can never do it yourself... you will feel every hair!

what?

FunkMistress said:

I would straighten my pubic hair with relaxer... it was all the buzz at the salon.
Trim the sides up... my shit was all shiny and pretty looked and felt just like rabbit fur. You had to be REALLY careful too with washing and nuetralizing.

Yeah... we did it to each other on our downtime at the salon.

I shave my 4 mustaches every day.

paintedlady said:

I thought you could not possibly mean that, and then...you did.

i pluck my eyebrows every other week, shave my pits (mostly during the summer, since it's hot out) and i stopped shaving my legs a while back.

FunkMistress said:

wait...just, wait, i--what th'--relaxer ain't made for the coochie!!!!

BSK3478 said:

Relaxer is made to straighten hair with a curl... any hair. The salon owner was Olive Benson she invented the Optimun, Bantu, Affirm and International Textures relaxer lines.

Just have to do it carefully.... we were pros.

paintedlady said:

Lord... I actually relaxed other people's coochies...
.

paintedlady said:

I did too

FunkMistress said:

paintedlady said:

but...i still cannot fathom it. why the hell would anyone wanna get their coochie hairs relaxed? don't folks worry about, y'know, like if you're tender-headed...anybody worry about being tender-cooched?

BSK3478 said:

Ice dildo!!!

:fallthefuckout:

BSK3478 said:

The sistas got razor bumps and ingrown hairs from the waxing and shaving, so many would prefer to relax the hair. Just use lots of base (vaseline) and a thin linen strip for the opening and inner labia was placed on top... apply the product and then let girlfriend rinse thoroughly in the shower.... conditioning and shampooing was done by her, not me

FunkMistress said:

FunkMistress said:

That would have worked too!

paintedlady said:

Me and BSK3478 came up with that during some really weird fucking conversation in Minneapolis that also involved Prince's missing ribnick.

paintedlady said:

i still can't imagine perming my shit, though! i'd be sitting in the chair, waiting for it to start stinging a little bit when the relaxer starts working...damn...*holds crotch in pain*

i think he's still missing it. after he stops partying in L.A. he's gonna come back home to try and find it.
