not for the squeamish
in prep for my vacation next week, i went for a bikini wax after work - i don't do this sort of thing on a regular basis but it's nice not to have to worry about shaving 'down there' while at the beach... anyway, there's a nail place on my way to the metro so i stopped by and the woman took me right away... i'm not shy when it comes to things like this, so hiking up my skirt and having a stranger wrap paper towels around my underwear isn't a big deal... i mean really, how many of these do you think she does in a day/week/month? anyway, it seemed to be going well and she even used the tweezers to catch any stragglers so i thought that was a good sign... 10-minutes later, she was done, and i was smooth as a baby's bottom... :o)
when i got to my car at the metro station, i did a quick check and low and behold - she had missed quite a bit plus it was uneven! WTF! i paid $35 for this uneven mess? i knew i should've checked before i left but no, i just wanted to pay, and be on my merry way... so being that i'm a perfectionist - i ran to the store and grabbed a wax kit to "fix" what she had missed... besides it not working very well, it really hurt so i had to rely on the old tweezers... now i'm sore but at least even on both sides now... moral of the story - when you go for a bikini wax, make sure the right side matches the left side... ;o)
happy hump day...
p.s. i only watched some of how to look good naked because i was watching the DNC...
Oh. Ouch. Noted for future reference.
Ouch.
Oh Jodi!!! I know it's not funny, but this made me laugh! I'm glad to hear that you have things "evened up" now, and I hope that you have a FABULOUS TIME on your vacation!!
and THATS why I dont go and get waxed,
not the pain---that sh** always seemed to happen to me.

I have to tell you - I love a good waxing. To stay even - hold your underwear so that you determine the "line".
I started getting my eyebrows waxed so that I am never plucking individual hairs - I just "save them up" and go in and get it done.
I have had legs done - but as my hair is fine and blond - just not worth the $$$.
I had underarms done ONCE and the "after" was very painful - muscle like soreness - very deep and really hurt. don't know why.
have a great trip.
Oh dear.
I hope you look back on this and laugh because I seriously had to hold back my giggles while reading this. Good to know though for future reference. I would have walked right out and not noticed a thing!
I've never had a bikini wax, so I can only imagine the pain that goes along with it. But I'm with Carolyn I totally had to fight back the giggles when reading this.
And per your comment on my blog, no! your not harsh at all! you speak the truth woman!
oh no, that totally sucks......I used to go regularly (it really is not that bad if you go all the time but its get so $$) and my woman always handed me a mirror before I got dressed. Sorry it did not go so well and the home based kit didn't work well. :(
Didn't Bill kick ass in his speech last night?
Thats too bad, you had to complete the mission yourself. Ouch!!! Have a wonderful holiday.
Oh, ouch!
Have great vacation!
Hope you are having a wonderful vacation! You could always go for the brazilian ... never have to worry about that being even or not. ;) I have to admit ... I am lucky and have a fabulous waxer ... makes all the difference in the world!!!!
yikes! Sounds like some pain and bummer it wasn't even! I haven't gotten a wax before....thinking about it but uggghh.
Hahaha! Too funny!!
I say, next time, take the undies off and go for the Brazillian! No need to worry about uneven-ness! Haha! =)
Hope you enjoyed a LOVELY vacation!
