Huff on, wax off
Getting a bikini wax is bad.
Catching your bikini waxer huffing paint thinner is worse.
(P.S. I think "Deep Thoughts, by Feministing" may become a regular feature. Any Photoshop mavens out there want to make us an accompanying logo? The above one is Ann's quick and dirty shot at it.)

Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow...
There are some things about being a girl that, no way around it, just flat-out SUCK.
I'm a digital artist. (check link.) Lemme know what you need.
Wow, there's an advertisement for at home waxing if I've ever seen one. Maybe you should contact Nair...
Yes, the feministed Jack Handy.

On a less light note about topic:

...alas, my computer's hard-drive went on strike and the da--well, the shop, said it take about a week.... But, I do digital and hand art as well.
Also, since we're linking off to other stories... did you see the Los Angeles Times story on the Somali doctor?
TLF-
My personal feelings on that are unless the guy I'm gets waxed, I'm not getting waxed either.
When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if not... mmmmm, boy!
I dunno - who here wouldn't tear out their hair - pubic or otherwise - if it meant they'd get more head? In my experience, waxing results in no such thing - but if it did, I'd be right on that.

I've found a way around it. I don't get it done.
Curiously, my boyfriend still has sex with me. Crazy, huh?
Never get a bikini wax right after you've had nookie and the area is all sensitive. I learnt the hard way.
my only experience with waxing is an at-home kit. i waxed one calf and it hurt so much, i didn't do the other. i can vouch that waxing keeps you hairless longer than shaving.
as far as hair removal and getting action, i have yet to have a guy turn me down for being hairy, be it my lady zone or my legs, and there were some times in college i didn't shave anything but my pits for months out of sheer laziness.
actually, the first time i shaved off all of my pubes, i didn't actually do the shaving. my boyfriend at the time requested it and i told him if he wanted me hairless he'd have to make me hairless himself. so he did.
Screw my bikini line...
...I take that back.
"My personal feelings on that are unless the guy I'm gets waxed, I'm not getting waxed either."
I can say, with absolute authority, that it is a decidedly uncomfortable concept: http://www.ibloviate.org/writing-manscaping.php
"I've found a way around it. I don't get it done.

Not one bit :-) Not being content with your pubic hair, thus torturing yourself by ripping it out by the roots, and then attributing it to being a girl, well, that just sucks on an individual level.
"i can vouch that waxing keeps you hairless longer than shaving."
Has anyone else here had leg stubble within hours of getting her legs waxed at a salon, or was it just me?
I think this should DEFINITELY be a permanent feature.
MAKE THIS A PERMANENT FEATURE.
Nothing furthers a political perspective like good humor - look at the Daily Show.
"TLF-

More power to ya. I don't think waxing is as big a deal as some women think, I don't expect a women to put any more care or concern into their public hair styling than I do.
BTW, I meant to say "the guy I'm with"...seeing my typo over and over is driving me insane. Happy Friday!
No waxing for Kimmy, thank you. I shave my legs. I shave my underarms. I trim my pubic hair. That's as far as I'm willing to go. No ripping anything out by the roots. *shudder*
Being a guy who wants to understand women better I tried the waxing thing with the help of my wife. She said if I want to understand women better I should see some of the stuff a woman has to go through so I tried it...ouch...I figured out that waxing is a choice I wouldn't make..as a man or a woman...give me a razor or just some good ol nair will do the trick for me.. to all the women out there that do wax, I bow to you for I am not strong enough to ever do it again.
