So you’ve just finished this great workout, you’re feeling good, not looking too shabby either, and you’re strutting out of the gym a la Tony Manero of Saturday Night Fever, all ‘rockin’ and rollin’ and what-not’. But then you make the fatal mistake of looking in the rearview mirror at just the wrong time, you [...]

Pregnancy Waxing
July 27, 2012 By
What? You’re joking, right? Pregnant women get waxed? As if carrying around a pumpkin sized jumping bean, peeing every five minutes, and frequent flatulence isn’t torture enough, you want to add ripping hair out of my vagina to the mix? Well, like frequent flatulence, waxing during pregnancy is rarely, if ever, talked about. SOO unladylike, [...]

Just look at those brows…

June 4, 2012 By
If you are a man, and you have a hairy back, getting that hair removed by such seemingly barbaric means as the one depicted in the 40-Year Old Virgin does not at all seem like something one would do voluntarily. But unless you have the hair suit of Steve Carrell or agliophobia, in reality, your [...]
