Thanks Cindy. That's a good thing for me to ask when I make the appt. Vegetable dye? Cheers.

I'm growing my grandmother's lip. Maintanence is not far in my future.

But I have the most sensitive skin ever. I break out more now (nearly 45) than I did when I was a teen. So waxing the lip seems like an invitation for de-zas-ter.

Maybe I can get that dyed too! Only with invisibility dye. And anti-grandmonster cream.

I may have tweezed my brows in high school, certainly not in the last 30 years. I have pain fear.

Yea for random sluttage

Plucking my Einstiens doesn't hurt me. But I can get a bit too into the hunt and fail to give up on digging for the shortest of hairs when I should.

But after a while I just get overwhelmed. Too many trees in the forest...if you get my drift.

A GF of mine used to wax the lip but she says that using otc progesterone cream has helped cut down on her hairyness. She still bleaches it from time to time. I forget the product she said she used for the bleaching, but she loves it.

My body hair is so blond that shaving the legs every month or so is enough.

Cash, I was lucky to have been warned off by the leg issue. I wouldn't dare.

Jesse, tried that. It's just my skin must heal REALLY fast, because nothing, not that stuff, not exfoliating regularly, nothing helps. Hell, even shaving can be an issue. And then there was the Nair incident. Yeah, either worked and ingrown or just...didn't. Luckily, fairly sparse leg fur.

ingrown hair sucks.

I've got nothing deeper than that since Laura stole the number I wanted.

Freaky commercial. Three cows in a barn discussing what they like in a bull. Bulls outside peeping in. "Well, what I really like is..." bulls jostle and miss the dish. Then "Good cheese comes from happy cows! Happy cows come from California!" Sorta skeeved.

Reminds me of the admonishment to only eat "happy cheese" (smiling cow cheese) in the CzR because it came from ...well, some part that wasn't reknown for its nuclear reactors?

is happy cow cheese the same as laughing cow cheese (or, in french, la vache qui rit)?

Mmm. I have vache qui rit in my fridge right now...but I think it's pulled pork for dinner instead.

I haven't had my eyebrows waxed since they day I discovered threading. I'm in NYC and it costs about 6 dollars to have them threaded. Plus, they do it so quickly. I'm in and out in about 5 minutes. I also heard something about threading being better for your skin (less pulling, so less wrinkles), but I can't remember where or when I heard that little tidbit.
