Today I paid a stranger $128 to methodically rip out all the hairs off of my legs, arm pits and entire downstairs, including a butt strip. I am what they call a "seasonal client." And while I believe that beauty standards are made up garbage and everyone is entitled to doing whatever they want with their own body, I enjoy waxing in the summer. Not worrying about hair when I'm getting ready to go to the beach only really lasts for about a week. The senesation of having no hair for a week is tippy as hell, and what no one seems to mention is the grow back period.
My hair grows back softer than it would if I shaved, and I feel like some kind of beautiful forest creature. Natural body hair on a woman is actually so feminine and erotic and underrated, and I wish I could let my body be in a natural state in a bikini without being scrutinized by strangers. The public eye is such a bummer right?
