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.

Why don't they tell the truth about the cows? Most of the bulls are NEUTERED. And the cows get artificially inseminated with a device that looks like the douche nozzle of the gods wielded by a guy who's wearing a rubber glove that runs up the length of his entire freakin' arm.

Does that sound like fun?

I too have vache qui rit. Writing that reminds me of an idea I got.... ita, the game chapeau, the one that is used for finding out who is it. It made me laugh to realize how different things are depending on location. RANDOM. It almost makes me want to do a UNICEF style book on kids' games and how turn taking (as in who goes first) is decided. How do they do it in Jamaica?

yum! pulled pork.

and a neat twist of turnaround, I'm going to have a patty.

So Cashmere, you're saying you don't do dairy then?

Kate, I'm freaked out and scared of threading. Does it hurt?
