smooth like a dolphin

There is no way to say this delicately, but it has to be said.
I wanted to have all my hair ripped off pre-wedding. Yes, all of it. I wanted to be smooth and aerodynamic, so that should I need to fly or swim faster than someone else, I would have an edge.


if challenged to a slip 'n slide contest, I'd totally rock you

I've mentioned this before, but I'm a pierced freak. I have holes in places that don't belong, and probably ones that you can't even imagine. I needed to find someone who was comfortable working... around... them. And someone who made me feel comfortable, because let's face it, you don't want anyone near your "bathing-suit-area" that has bad bedside manner. I just didn't need a horrified face looking at my robo-crotch reminding me of exactly all the things I probably should never have done.

This is how I found my hair-removing goddess. She spoke to me on the phone about being comfortable around piercings, that I could come in and we'd just work around them and then make a decision about how to deal with them in the future. She was so comforting and so gentle, and as it turns out I have a high tolerance for pain, that we just went for it on the first day!

It doesn't hurt that she's basically across the street from me. Even if you're not a special needs freak and you're just looking for someone to trust with a good brow wax... or perhaps the wedding is the excuse you needed to get your future husband's "fur vest" removed, Ellen Olson is your girl.

Don't look at me like that, I know you've thought about waxing the man! C'mon, even the uni-brow he's sporting? Maybe just that stray brow hair that you're dying to pluck out, but he's too light of a sleeper for you to do it without him noticing? Call it a "couples bonding" event.
