Thank you nice Korean lady. Thank you for taking on the unpleasant task of ripping the hair out of my smelly underarms and scaly, dry legs. I cannot tell you how embarrassed I am when I visit. Not so much about the hair—I never really gave a hoot about that. I’m embarrassed that I don’t give a fuck about how much the hair has grown on my legs between shavings. The only reason that I’ve even returned, now it being mid-winter, is that my legs itch. It’s the hair growing and it itches. The only thing that stops the itching is if the hair are pulled violently from their homes and quietly disposed of. The length is gaining on ¾ of an inch. You will scold me and say I should come and get waxed more often so that it won’t hurt as much. I always though that you were just trying to get more money out of me, but now I have returned, head bent over in shame. I realize that you were right – it doesn’t hurt so much when there is less hair and the more you wax, the less hair there is.
As for the smell, that is something else. Having recently switched from anti-perspirant to deodorant (natural, at that) I have realized that I stink. My boyfriend has informed me that I should not be using anit-perpirant as “your body needs to sweat.” Well, apparently, my body needs to stink as well as sweat. My clothes stink and now having to lift my arms in your presence, I’m embarrassed to the depths of my soul.
Thank you nice Korean lady for clipping my nails and trimming my cuticles. I don’t know what I ever did before discovering that I could pay someone else to do this for me. Actually, in an attempt to save money I’ve pulled back on my mani/pedi obsession and have rediscovered what I used to – chewed them off—the fingernails that is. You scolded me for that which I am grateful.
As for that Brazilian…I’m afraid that I’m just not up for that. There’s just too much potential pain involved. But who knows, if I lose that 10lbs and decided to strut around mostly naked on some Seychelles island I may just go for broke. Just have that bottle of tequila waiting for me to help ease the pain.
