TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey is smoothing out differences over a plan to ban bare-it-all bikini waxing.
The state on Friday decided to reverse course on the proposal after angry salon owners complained about losing business ahead of swimsuit season.
"It was an unnecessary issue," said spa owner Linda Orsuto. "In New Jersey especially, where the government has been picking our pockets for so long, it was like, 'Just stay out of our pants, will you?'"

they should ban skid marks too. A proper application of wax to the aforementioned undergarments should prevent these particular marks.

Salon owners worried that customers would travel across state lines to get the popular — and painful — procedure, or try to wax themselves. Oh, now, this definitely sounds like something that needs to be regulated. People trying to wax themselves...*shudder*

I think this only had a chance because the state legislature was planning to have hearings of a ... well, a show-and-tell nature.

It was a Mr. Clean commercial.
BTW - Checked out your page. Who are the people in the photos. My Nephew, the Marine, is going to be deployed to Afghanistan in a month or two.
The other Nephew just got out of the Air Force after six years of service.

My guess is that Jon Corzine dodged a bullet here. With all the other things that are going on, this ban would really have put Corzine in the bull’s eye during election season.

Genital waxing can be dangerous... Do tell.

It’s quite possible that when we look back at this incident, we’ll say that this came within a hair’s breadth of costing Jon Corzine the election.

Looks like someone drew a bikini line in the sand.

OK, I'm going to say it.
As opposed to Genital whacking?
Dear Moderator, Obama made me do it. It was one of his throwaway lines on Leno, but he went with the Special Olympics remark instead.
