expat, whatabout the regrowth with waxing the moustache, does it get corser? Longer? Darker? This is what puts me off waxing.

£1000 hmmmmm - only a few years worth of salon waxes etc

No, it's a myth that it grows back faster, thicker, etc. Waxing damages the hair follicle over the long term and can even destroy some of them, so the hair doesn't grow back at all.

Topical treatments like waxing don't effect re-growth rates, hormones and climate temperature have more to do w/that.

My one regret is not learning how to do a proper sugar wax from my Pakistani friend before leaving the US. She could sugar wax like no one's business. She could also thread eyebrow hairs. Now THAT I could NOT get the hang off, but it is really a treat if you can find someone who knows how.

Back, sack and crack amazes me. Men have their testicles waxed? Makes my eyes water... ouch ouch ouch ouch.

Crawling stuff?

Something I've noticed over the last few months is that my nose hair has started to protrude, not a good look. Hate plucking it, it feels horrible.

Sure, why not have their balls waxed? They're tough, they can take it!

Some women have Brazilians, which included crack anyhow.

Oooh, I've heard of this eyebrow threading. Heard it's pretty painful?

Will keep the moustache waxing in mind, the only thing I get waxed is my eyebrows and I've become a bit 'chicken' lately.

Yes, but there's no fat under the skin on a testicle. Waxing your legs is not that painful but the idea of waxing something that is basically loose skin covering tissue is ouch ouch ouch ouch.

No way! Threading is less painful than waxing, IME, in the hands of a seasoned professional like my pal Humera. But I'm also a woman who owns two pairs of Tweezermans, a lady shave, nail scissors, and her own wax kit and strips - get the supplies at Sally Hansen.

It's not vestigial though. It's there to stop all those tiny creatures (the ones that look like wooly mammoths in enlarged pictures of the back of your hand) entering the body and destroying soft tissue. I'm not making this up!

Pubic waxing is a fashion that will change when the dangers of it become known. People don't mix arsenic with there skin whiteners any more, do they or attach fake moles to their faces with horse glue.

Well there's not a lot of fat under some of the regions they wax when you have a Brazilian, to put it delicately.

Dancers - male and female - have been pubic waxing for decades. Haven't heard of anyone suffering any ill effects from it.

I've never been one for the hedge look and can't see myself going for it now. Or ever.

I know this thread has now moved away from makeup and onto body hair (which I do remove), but can I get back to the make up thing?

I don't think I even own any make up any more. I used to try to remember to wear it cos everyone sort of expected you should, but I could never actually see any point and found it a boring waste of time. When I was a maid of honour a couple of years ago I had to wear make up but my friend knew I never wore it and so asked the make up lady to go gently. I asked dp what he thought and he said "fake". He is often commenting on how awful women look in make up (and don't get him started on tans, he is always phsl at people with orange skin).

So, should I not come on the 26th now? Will I be left in a corner on my own cos no one will talk to the ugly one with no slap on and wan skin?

Some like wild untamed hedges, some of us prefer topiary. Or bare earth.

Yes, dancers are notorious for their ability to put their physical health before their profession. Anorexia, subfertile body mass and deformed feet are definitely not for them.

never foundation. lippy and mascara for going out purposes only.

i never wear foundation - hate the feeling of it on my skin
i also thingk that make up can look so vile - the worst is people who smell of make-up - beurk

That sounds positive expat, I hate having my eyebrows waxed. How long does the threading last for, someone told me that eventually it is permanent but not sure if this is right, she had hers done and it looked great.

did anyone here ever read the Joy Of Sex (stay with me, there is a point...)
that guy advised to grow all your hair, because it was the source of sexual power and ahem fragrance.
I may be paraphrasing

i do wear eye + lip makeup though, as well as light reflective moisturising thing (when I can be bothered) and blusher - v important to hide grey-faced knackered look

'Hang on buffs, he also advised 'wearing your own intimate perfume', ie dabbing...oh no I can't go on. [repressed emotican]'

That's just the boak. Eeeww.

expat - "the boak"... I fear you may have to change your name. you have gone native...

'Intimate perfume'. Honestly, that gives me the boak when I pictured Pruni's uni pal daubing it on herself - did she do it at her dressing table!

I hope you didn't have to live w/her, she sounds like a klart.
