the pain of beauty

[juldea]

I spent two hours this evening waxing my right leg. Yes folks, just the right one. I'll do the left one tomorrow. I don't want to stay up for two more hours contorting my body in the necessary ways. Much less the mess.

Stupid me getting a job where this'll be important...

Two hours??? Were you doing it with a table candle?

Nope, Sally Hansen Cold Gel Wax Hair Removal Kit (http://www.cosmeticmall.com/product_detail.aspx?product_id=68865&nav_mode=brand&category_id=2313&brand_category_id=411&search=#Wax)... It doesn't take that long when done professionally, but when done on one's own, it takes a damn long time. You men just don't understand. ;)

I hope that link works.

yeah, why do you have to wax? can't you just wear pants?

Yeah, it seems like pants or long skirts would work fine until Boston sees warmer days.

I've been told by many that although it's more expensive a professional job is 1000 times quicker and less painful than doing it yourself. I've never had it done professionally or without the aid of numbing drugs so it's just a thought.

Oh yes, I know about how much quicker it is, I've had my legs done professionally several times. I just don't have the money right now and it's 10x cheaper to do it myself.

I don't think it hurts any less, though. I've never had to use any drugs.

You know, I just thought about this while in the shower (shaving my legs of course) although it's expensive, laser hair removal. I am going to get that some day. I have no idea of the cost but it's a good alternative to never having to shave again. Yes, there are risks, but if you research and find a reputable place... Anyway, just a thought.

Yeah, someday when I have money it's an idea. :)
