All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal-
The Epilady, scissors, razors, nair and now ....the wax. Read on.......
My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids.
I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours:
Maybe I should get the waxing kit from the medicine cabinet.
So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom.
It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax,
you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and
you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else)
and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be?
I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough
to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!?!?)
So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other
stuck together.
Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the
hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. (Cold wax,' yeah....right!)
I lay the strip across my thigh. hold the skin around it tight and pull.
IT WORKS!
OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad.
I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me!
I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.
With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids,
I sneak back into the bathroom for the ultimate hair fighting championship.
I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet....
Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side
of my bikini line covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching
down to the inside of my but cheek (it was a long strip).
I inhale deeply and brace my self.....RRRRIIIPPP!!!
I'm blind!!!! Blinded from pain!!!!........ OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!
Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip.
CRAP!!!
Another deep breath and RIPP!! Everything is spinning and spotted.
I think I may pass out....I must stay conscious....I must stay conscious.
do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe.....OK, back to normal.
I want to see my trophy- a wax covered strip, the one that has caused
me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it.
I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair.
I hold up the strip! There's no hair on it. Where is the hair???
WHERE IS THE WAX???
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet.
I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip.... It's not!
I touch.... I am touching wax.
I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake... I remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? So I put my foot down. Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do
and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop... My head my pop off"
What can I do to melt the wax?
Hot Water!!!! Hot Water melts wax!!! I'll run the hottest water I can
stand in the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax
should melt and I can gently whip it off, right ???
*WRONG!!!!!!!!!!*
I get in the tub- the water is slightly hotter than that used to
torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment- I sit.
Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued
together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom
of the tub....in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, does not melt cold wax:
So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as thought I had cemented myself to the porcelain!!
God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!! I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some
secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter.
"So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!"
There is a slight pause....
She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter form me.
She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or hoo-ha?"
She's laughing out loud by now... I can hear her.
I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.
YEAH!!!!!! RIGHT!! I should be the joke of someone else's night
While we go through various solutions, I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor.
Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot
wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then
dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!
By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and
I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for
this event.
My friend is still talking with e when I finally see my saving grace.....
the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.
What do I really have to lose at this point?
I rub some on and OH MY GOD!!! The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend. It's soo painful, but I really don't care
"IT WORKS!!!"
I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up.
I successfully remove the remainder of all with wax and then notice to my
grief and despair.....THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.....ALL OF IT!
So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb my now. Nothing hurts.
I could have amputated my own leg at this point.
Next Week I'm going to try hair color..... how bad can that turn out????

I have laughed so hard through this whole scenario, that my jaws hurt, my head is in a vise and my nose is running down my face, tears of laughter joining in. I am sooooo glad that I am now ancient and no longer have to run the gamit of torture that younger women have to endure. Please write a book and be sure and let me know when it comes out in print.

Oh Oh Oh Oh I am crying so hard. Get your DH to do the hair coloring. My man does. He is very much all guy and a wood worker but the cost of paying some one and the effects of the economy on our budget has made him my personal best hair dresser.
