Giant Magazine just did a small blurb on the coolest Arcades in the US and it actually wrote-up Ground Kontrol. It sounded cool enough that I considered forcing people to go with me when I’m on Portland in March.
Hmm, I wax my own bikini line inbetween salon visits for the uh, “big job,” as it were and I’ve never had a problem. I use the wax strips, though, which are a lot to maneuver than actual drippy, globby wax. I’ve never waxed my lip before, but I’d hazard a guess that the delicate face skin would be far more sensitive than the comparatively rugged area where thigh meets body, so I’d go ahead and give it a shot.
Um, I want to know what happened to your friend Jen at camp, though, that sounds like a story.

willow,
let me just say that i am into waxing so majorly, and am totally a pro at waxing at my home, but even so, the bikini line is something you need to go to a salon for. or else get a riiiiil good friend to help you out – you totally need another set of hands! someone has to pull the skin taut, then the other to do the actual “waxing”. even when i get this done at a fancy-dancy salon they often have me lend a hand, which ensures that the wax comes off smoothly with no/minimal bruising (i have sensitive skin and bruise easily!). nothing is worse than the dreaded “there’s a huge chunk of wax that is rapidly cooling on my sensitive inner thigh, and i have tried repeatedly to rip it off, but it won’t come off, oh my god, what am i going to do!” also, that hurts.
i find that waxing one’s legs (from the calf down) is a good way to practice one’s waxing skillz.
p.s. i never shave!

I am also convinced that I have a ‘stach… but I honestly can’t recall noticing one on you. Damn that upper lip hair. Can’t it tell a lady when it sees one.

I am actually pretty accomplished at the do-it-yourself waxing. Although I have never been brave enough to try the bikini thing. Next time I’m in Portland or you’re in Denver, I can give you some pointers!

Yikes. The back of the drawer is where my home waxing kit went. I saved it for a couple of months thinking I’d try again, but I ended up just throwing it away.

Willow, I am surprised you would even consider at-home bikini waxing after what happened to Jen (at camp). DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU?
Also, I have never noticed your ‘stach and that is the honest truth.
