I had my first bikini wax last week, and in preparation for the big plunge I found myself obsessed with finding out what all of my female friends do. It was shocking to find out, for instance, that not only does my cousin shave but she shaves, "A whole lot, actually." I had no idea that someone like her might look like a porn star underneath! The bikini wax was pretty anti-climatic, unfortunately.

Honestly if I wasn't married to a man who could deal with au naturel (yet neatly groomed!) me, I'd have to be a lesbian. Because my vagina freaks out at the idea of hot wax anywhere nearby. Which is why I wear shorts to the beach. Seriously, I am about to push a baby out of it, and that freaks me out less than the waxing idea. and yeah, you might poo when you push. I also found this idea startling (they never mentioned it in Health class!) But nobody cares at that point. Or so I'm told. But you waxing types, hey, I salute your courage and fortitude and vaginas of steel.

I haven't wax since I discovered the joys of the Schick Intuition Razor with Sensitive Skin blades. That and clippers do the job just fine, and I am spared mucho pain-oh and save some money, too. It's all jelly. But in my pre-Intuition days... yeah. Waxing. I used to visit Gloria at John Jay Salon on Robert E. Lee in New Orleans (Which was located in the terribly flooded Lakeview area and is most assuredly washed away forever) on a monthly basis for long sessions in which she would rip hair from various portions of my body, both normall visible and normally covered by clothing. Gloria was a hirsute Mediterranean type herself, and MAN could she wax. I never even felt pain when she pulled those strips off. God bless her. I miss Gloria. I don't think there is anyone in Tennessee, where my husband and I came to escape New Orleans three years ago, who can replace her. So I'll stick with good old Intuition.

All the What Ifs (in the Gross stuff category)have kept me from ever seeing a professional. I'm a wax-at-home gal. and p.s.? the stories like the woman that gave birth to a baby... AND her bladder are the ones that really terrify me.

Have you ever heard that Margaret Cho bit: "Hi my name is Gwen, and I'm here to WARSH YOUR VAGINA." Shit is funny, is all I'm sayin'.

A friend of mine in England is a beautician and oh the stories she's told me about women who come in for bikini waxing. Such as, women who come straight from the gym to the beauty parlor, or women who clearly haven't showered in a few days, or women who clearly had sex about ten minutes before. Or, the grossest (I thought) women ON THEIR PERIOD. so yeah. I think they've probably seen it all.
