Nothing like the smell of burning hair in the morning...

... unfortunately, my hair.  This morning I went in for laser hair removal, you know, DOWN there.  The whole kit and kaboodle, brazilian with a patch o' fuzz on the top just for the whole "I'm not 12yrs old" reminder.  The cliff's notes version?

Zap.. *wince*  Zap *wince*  Zap *OW*  zap *wince, muttering*  zap  *definately getting the numbing cream for next time* 

You get the idea.  It  kind of feels like a rubber band snapping against your privates.  Now, that doesn't sound too bad, but think of that rubber band snapping 100 times.   But its not any worse than getting a brazilian wax, and you only have to suffer through it 5-7 times for results that are pretty damn good.  No nicks, no ingrown hairs, no Grande Plie in the shower to get the hard to reach bits any more.   

I'd gotten my bikini line done a couple of years ago and that worked out great.  SO when I found out that my doctor offered Brazilian's - I signed myself right up.    Word of warning...  lips?  WAY more sensitive than on the top - ask for the lidocaine cream BEFORE the first visit, and use it.  You'll thank me later.

Now it feels like I have a sunburn on my whoo ha. 

Don't you feel really close to me now?

The time of year for turkeys and trimmings and bush maintenance...so San Diego.
No pics? ;)

The coffeeshop across the street from the Grove has expanded into a nice space, although when I went in the staff were, er, dorks. Or Claire du Lune, which is closer to Heidi anyway. I'm dying for a spin-together. And the critter crawl, I can't remember what we decided on that, do it in December?

Gosh, I miss you guys so much. No one here discusses waxing and whoo ha's. Yet, anyway! Happy Thanksgiving!!

[Heidi]

Well since we're sharin' and all, I haven't even seen a razor in months! Whoohooo! We're gonna need a machete to get through them jungles!

Ahem. Yeah. Critter Crawl--you guys name the date. I'll just say that I am OFF FROM WORK (there aren't enough words to describe my joy) from Dec. 22 through Jan. 3ish. And for the next four days of course.

And that coffee shop in South Park is awesome! If I didn't like beer so much, I'd recommend moving the Whistle Stop thingee across the street only because it's cozier and quieter. Yeah, like I go to these things.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

OMG, you are too funny. I'm not sure about Brazilian, but for bikini? I'm gonna have to look into that.....

[Heather]

Oh the mental picture of myself and the Grande Plie!!! Come on girls! You know you did too!!

[MJ]

I confess I'm a wimp when it comes to trimming. Thank goodness I'm not that follicularly abundant!

Let's leave it at that.

That is a darn good idea! It's not my favorite shower chore.
