Taking notes while Lara Olsha gives me my first ever Brazilian via the sugaring process provides distraction from the pain.

Big breath in, blow out really hard.

I'm not gonna even kid with you. Nothing short of several shots of liquor is going to numb the pain. But because the goopy, baseball-size, all-natural mixture -- sugar, lemon and guar gum -- is at room temperature, it doesn't burn. Without using strips, the thick honeylike substance used in sugaring pulls at the hair, but not the skin. Olsha is also molding it and then pulling in the direction the hair grows, so it is less painful than I expected. And she's fast, merciful God. Speed is salvation in these types of things.

BtD: "So, this here Brazilian Wax thingy advertised in the window - whatinellizzat?"

Beautician: "Well, that's where I pour sizzling hot wax on yer gonads and tear all yer curlies out by the roots."

BtD: "Hey, sounds great! When do we start?"

Beautician: "After you pay me."

BtD: "I pay you? Whaddyou, some kinda prevert?"

Hey man...thats good stuff there. I've been using it for 5 - 6 years and its good for the face and smells good. They make it in a blue colored bottle also. Not sure what the difference is - but they both work good for an aftershave.

Its either that stuff or Old Spice.

Its not so much a gay thing as it is a hedonist thing. My roommate is Hairless(don’t ask, it was one of those TMI moments) and seems to follow that trendy ghetto MTV Hedonist thing. Its the “My Body is My Temple Thing”.

The only waxing I would get, as a man, would be to remove back hair. Otherwise its Burma mug soap and a razor(and beard trimmer) me.
