You know, I think this over/under thirty waxing divide explains an argument I had recently with a costume designer and actress, bit of whom were under thirty. The girl was playing an older, slatternly woman who lived in a trailer in texas in the 1980's. They both though she would be waxed completely bare, and I thought that this woman would never do that

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've been saying "Dude, I'm fucking 40" to myself an awful lot. Not that I am 40. I'm just warming up.
Ha -- I just told my mother I was 35 last night. And then admitted to 33.5. She pointed out that I'm too old to count in half-years. My overall point was that of course my several-years-older cousin is older than 35.
Do you still have to do any sort of razor maintenance?
No. I mean, eventually you have to do something else, but not within the next week or so. Unless you have a Problem like Erin's friend.

in the 80's, people didn't wax, did they?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Though I still kinda feel someone ought to punch them all in the face.
I'll totally do it. Just line them up along the Embarcadero while I'm taking my run. Run, punch, run, punch. Best workout EVER.
it's totally ungirly to volunteer for pain to make yourself more attractive.
HAHAHAHA! That's some funny shit, right there.
Never waxed, probably won't. Ingrowns are too bothersome.

Oh, and I have a waxing maintenance tip -- for your general upper-leg waxing, not the actual goolie waxing (I'd guess!) -- anti-acne astringent helps reduce ingrown hairs and etc.

oh dear, Sophia - it's like those TV shows where you've got the homeless guy with beautiful white teeth.

Hi, Buffistas! I've missed you!
And I have nothing to contribute to the conversation, also. Sorry.

I know! I guess their thesis was she would have shaved, but frankly, I don't think this woman cared that much, and small-town Texas was probably not the first place to have affordable Brazilian's waxes.

And if any under-30 Buffista wants to pipe up and reassure me that these in fact were a bunch of nutbars and that most sane under-30s don't in fact equate nude goolies with handwashing and flossing, I'd be much reassured
Well, amusingly we just had this conversation at work last week! Bunch of 25-35 years olds. And my boss had done it once, for her wedding. And I have done it many times. And no one else had. I was a little startled, as I'd been led to believe it was much more common.
I like the result, but it's freakin' expensive, man!
It's not feminine to remove body hair. It's just what you have to do.
Clearly not a lesbian. Many of whom are down with the hair. That said, i've been surprised by several who might grow their hair out everywhere ELSE, but keep the goolie trimmed if not bald.
I think thongs are inappropriate for children, but honestly, unless I'm wearing a satin dress, I usually figure VPL is not a problem, and should only serve to reassure people that I AM wearing underwear. Hell.
