New Lady Problems
Can't find the old one!
I have decided to get my LEGS WAXED!!!!!!!
It is dumb and stupid, and self-hating and anti-feminist and all that. I'm so excited! If I'm not gonna have kids or ever grow my hair out or ever wear mascara, I feel like I need to do one painful traditionally feminine thing before I die. WAX IT IS
Just the upper part. The part Fiona calls "a.k.a. pubic hair." I mean, not the lady-bits part, just the upper thighs. Where I have crazy painful hideous ingrown hairs and other problems. My husband is against it but I'm doing it anyway so now is it feminist or not???
Joking
Who has gotten an official wax? And can we talk about it? How much does it hurt, like should I bring a belt to bite on for my screams, or is it manageable? I am not a huge baby generally.
I'm really excited to see what the scene is like in there. What kinds of femininity projection will I be exposed to? What parts of my body will the experience cause me to become newly ashamed of / supportive of? Will they try to talk me into waxing my butthole, which is apparently a thing that happens these days? Do they play yoga music or do they play Katy Perry? Should I get a perm while I'm there

I had very good experiences with Jevon at Wax On on Burnside. I did a lot of research about who to go to (because I was terrified), and she was consistently well-reviewed. I've been to other people who were not great and it makes a world of difference. She was very professional, the environment is comfortable. No Katy Perry or Yoga Music... that I remember. Just spa-like chill and clean.
?!
But they were adamant about exfoliation and No Bump application, and when I neglected to do that I was regretful.
(probably from the laser hair removal industry)
that was kind of the whole point of me getting waxed!!!!! GOD
on the plus side, I just read a NYT article about how pelvic exams are unnecessary
FINALLY some good news
it hurts but it's a very fast hurt!
the results last a long time, ingrowns can happen either way and you definitely gotta maintain that skin afterwards to keep them at bay.
if you don't like it, I second the manicure/perfume lady route.
both are so fun and make you feel GREAT!
DEFINITELY get a perm.
I don't want Lee press-on nails!!!!!!!!!
I WANT A SMOOTH BUTTHOLE

PERFUME: advice? I have been trolling lucky scent for samples. I have Commes des garcon white, which I like but is almost too sexy for work. I like Diptyque 34.
OLO PERFUME! If I had a bunch of money I'd get some right now!!! Local weirdo hipster art perfume, smells great
OLO
Also, do you use quotation marks when you say something in your mind?
I hear they have a bottle of tequila you can take a slug off of for the pain (not joking).
I might get to be a shop gal at my friend's store this Friday. Hollah at ya girl!
It is so hard to buy swims.
Jae has had great luck at Lille, if you don't mind spending a pretty penny. I think those suits are divine. Also J. Crew! But can't do that in one day I guess, unless they have them in the store which I doubt.
Lille... dreamy idea!
anthropologie has suits that are cute. i've had my bottoms there for over 2 years.
also, thrift stores.
Having looked online extensively... fringe bikinis are everywhere! Ick
I made it (with dimynds)
Perm the bikini fringe
Slim down the leg hair
