Kristin, that sounds nummy! I'm a MW lover, too.

Trudy, continued ~ma for your ma.

And i somehow missed Meara in PDX

Nah, I was only there from 8:30AM until about 5PM, Erin--I flew in in the morning, worked all day in three different places, then drove down to Eugene in the evening. Not enough time to even say hi, sadly. And then drove back the next day from Eugene just in time to catch the plane to Spokane.

Can also help with some teaching. My MFA ought to be useful for something. )

Well clearly if this is a performing arts magnet there will be lots of TECHIES, not just ACTORS. And they will need people like you and me and Vortex to teach them how to STAGE MANAGE, since that's clearly the most important thing.

As someone who both is a woman and sleeps with them, I ...wouldn't get very far if I expected those I sleep with to be hairless. HAH. Not gonna happen. Though most trim a little. I've been with a few who shave, some. I find waxing grows back much less itchy than shaving, personally. And I like the resutls. But COMPLETELY hairless? IS FREAKING CREEPY, Y'ALL. The one time I accidentally had that done, I had to apologize to my girlfriend at the time for makign her feel like a pedophile. Damn.

The one time I accidentally had that done

Um, this begs the question, how do you have that done by accident?

The lady who speaks very little english says "You want Brazilian?" and I say "Um, yeah" and she proceeds to take it ALL off, when I wanted to leave a "landing strip" type area? Because apparently her definition was different than mine.

That's happened to me, too, meara. Gotta be VERY specific BEFORE they start spreading the wax!

Everything is clenching at that thought.

all my Brazilian friends were so offended that Brazilian=hairless here.

It will look nice next to our "My cat is smarter than your honor student" bumper sticker.

except here it reads "My black and tan coonhound is smarter than your honor student". I just haven't been able to even think about getting another cat since having to put Anne to sleep 1.5 years ago. Anne-girl and I had been together for 16 years.

I trim for swimsuit season. I've never been inclined to shave or wax for myself, and there hasn't been someone else in a position to have an opinion on my pubic hair for quite a while. I'd probably try it once, if asked.

Unrelated, except for the obvious pun, much kittie health~ma to Laga. And Trudy, I hope they work out some good pain management for your mother.

I remember being fairly appalled when I was skimming one of the other MTV young adult novels (it was a series I nicknamed "Judith Krantz for the teen set") and the male lead was hooking up with a girl for a one nighter and he bluntly said he liked being given oral, but wouldn't return the favor unless she had a Brazilian or at the very least, only a landing strip.

And I'm sitting there thinking, "Wonderful-- teen girls are reading this and thinking they've got to be waxed within an inch of their lives if they ever want to get head, but they'll still be expected to go down a guy, regardless."

What I loved best about it was that it was a guy who wrote these books, under a female pseudonym. I wanted to absolutely smack the shit out of him.

And I'm Cuban, which equals not only hairy, but in my case, hairy and coarse, which makes growing back hideous. So yeah, bikini waxes, but beyond that, nope.
