Finding Blanche

Nothing stays the same.

Traveling south.

If you embarrass easily, now is the time to go to another blog. Perhaps check out Sucky Blog, one of my new favs (he’s a very funny guy) or try Annie’s Smart at Love for some super insight into relationships. But if you don’t mind a little personal talk… read on.

Waxing has become regular, every day conversation. Even on David Spade’s new show, The Showbiz Show (if you haven’t seen it, you must!), he said he heard women in the Starbucks line talking about whether they get a heart or a lightning bolt or a simple landing strip… When I first started waxing, I didn’t know a soul who did. But then, one by one, I found others. We shared this little secret. But little by little, it became seriously mainstream. Kind of like poker. When I started playing poker with the girls, it was unheard of. Now, you can buy poker sets for chicks on QVC. Get the point?

Anyway, so this waxing thing – it’s getting out of hand. Between the Brazilians ($60-90) and the underarms ($20) and the eyebrows ($15) and legs (which I’ve never done) this is quite the racket. And it’s not as if you can just let it go. I mean, we all know those women at the pool, right? No one wants to see unsightly hair. Why is that? How did we get here?

Anyway, back to David Spade. (I still don’t understand the Heather Locklear thing. She dated him? He’s cute and all, but for someone like Heather to date?) So David (sure, we’re on a first name basis) says he’s had enough. He’s wondering when carpet is coming back in style. I thought I was going to fall off the chaise. (Yes, Judi, I was on THE chaise!)

So, any takers? I’m dying to know what the blogger POV is….

I always thought it was titillating to see a little frizz hanging out the side of a bikini bottom. With all this waxing going on, having a full bush is now kinda like a guy growing a beard.

Thanks for the props!

I’ve never waxed, but I do own a men’s beard trimmer…that I don’t use on my chin. I so, periodically, keep a cute tuft going…on the back of my left ankle where I can never reach with a razor in my right hand, dammit.

Uh…is that the POV you were looking for, or did you just want my opinion on the carpet coming back in style? I think not for me. Am I really writing this on a Sunday morning? I’m off to church now.

Jackt – LOL. If more women knew that some men liked the frizz, maybe they wouldn’t have to work so hard!

GNG – Too funny. Any POV you wanted to provide works… so thanks!

You hear stories about men who like the European woman look with hair under the arms- but then you never actually meet one. I suspect it will be some time before shag makes a return, although a well trimmed berber might be on the rebound. Just avoid the indoor/outdoor stuff.

I would love to laser anything that might be visible if I were to wear a bikini – otherwise just a trim for me thanks.
