The hair war

Am I going to do an article on female hair removal? Really ?? I never planned anything like this! I never started this blog with that in mind! But ...... after a very intense experience... I said to myself "this is so crazy" that I'm going to write about it on my blog.

There's only one step between saying and doing ..... Lol.

So we're going to talk mainly about leg waxing. Let's keep it serious. The other places you do what you want. To each his own!

I'm a tomboy at heart, 12 years old, I'm going to the gym at work and I'm wearing shorts. The girls in the changing room make fun of me. "Oh, you've got hair on your legs and you don't shave!

No! In fact I didn't shave. My mother had lectured me on the subject and she herself used to say to me "It's boring .... you've got time.... you're only 12!"

And me and getting bored .... it's true that that's two. No, because a lot of people like to be bored !!! Let's be serious and honest !! Do you do your own washing up ? I don't. Do you iron? I don't iron. Do you dust your house every other day? No, I don't! I'm not saying I'm dirty! But I do clean the house from time to time. A dishwasher and put the washing on the drying rack just after the washing machine and fold it well afterwards and you're done! Is there a fold at ....? It's not going to change the world! I'm going to be a pain in the arse about this? Never !!!!

So it all started when I was 12: "No, I won't wax! I still wear shorts for sport to piss the others off! For my friends, it gives them something to talk about!

17 years old .... yes ! 17 years old, I shaved my legs for the first time. 5 years without getting bored with it. It's important in life, after all!

So we start talking about "how do you wax your legs? Wax? Manual razor? Electric razor?

I started off with cream. Of course, it's not long before we're talking about waxing in the mode "it hurts a bit but you're safe for longer!

A bit painful.... even a bit .... At the age of 17 I couldn't understand how anyone could "HURT" to .... hair.... and fit in with the good image that society tries to make us believe ....

Much later, at 25, I switched to a manual razor. Quick. Pleasant. And when people kept talking to me about waxing ....me? Never!

And now .... the ultimate experience has taken place! 34 years old! I'm fed up that your razor lasts just 7 days .... I say to myself loud and clear "ah Céline! Only stupid people don't change their minds! Let's try this trick that will give me peace of mind for 3 weeks.... "!

At the shop, I pick up the little strips of wax that your colleague recommended the day before, after our little 'girl talk'.

And you say to yourself (as usual!) "I'm going to take care of myself tonight". So if you're a guy and you're reading this .... taking care of yourself is the term we use to go to the bathroom .... a little waxing, a little shower, taking care of your nails, metre a bit of cream .... blah blah. In short, it's a moment for you with your body that's enjoyable.

So here I am in the bathroom. Soft music in the background. We put on the latest album on napster. And here I am, putting these little strips of wax on my legs ....

If you're a guy, I'll explain! It's a kind of pink glue! Like the name already !!!! It makes you think of candles. Besides, I don't understand why people don't just use a candle to remove their hair... I'm not sure tonight's any worse!

In short, a disgusting pink glue like glue, you know !!!

You put it on your leg. You apply it well .... but really well you see ! And you remove the paper .... with a sharp blow !!! Craaach!!!!!

......

"A little sore," said .... It's painful! Just fucking shit his race ... it hurts. The hairs .... ba most of them are on the pink shit paper that sticks.... but not all ....

Your leg? Not it gets pink too .... with little red dots .....

Personally .... me ... I call it a massacre. Mutilation. Self-harm.

The truth is, when I was 12 I thought waxing was barbaric. At 34.... after being in "let's give it a go! Only stupid people don't change their minds", I can confirm: it's barbaric!

"Take some time for yourself", as we used to say? .... hurt yourself. For fucking shitty hair.... you can look at it this way. You go into your bathroom, blast Metallica and crassssh! Come on!!! I take care of myself! Yippee! Cool! Magical moment !

Seriously people ???

That was my first, last and only time ever waxing! I would have tried it and I wouldn't have been so stupid in bed.

You can do what you like .... but if you wax you're a barbarian! I'm telling you! And you're going to tell me that you don't just do legs??? You sadistic masochist! And to think that some even give money to someone else to do it !!!!!!!

That magical moment in the bathroom with those pink strips of shit that hurt made me think! Yes, think about the situation of women in this world! What women have to go through to have a perfect body. Soft legs .... all for that !

Do we really have to? That's the question? Is 3 weeks' peace of mind worth the experience of pain? It could be a subject for philosophy at the baccalaureate!

On top of that, that nasty sticky pink wax on your skin .... is it really good for the epidermis? Inevitably, afterwards you're a bit red ... it's called trauma for the skin! Do we have to hurt ourselves to be .... hairless? I'm not saying to be beautiful! But just ... hairless?

Well, the little painless razor .... yes, OK, it only lasts 7 days, but at least every week I'd really like to take some "me time", a real one, with pleasure.

So women reading this! Be a woman! Be beautiful! Be gentle! But not barbaric !!!!

Men reading this: the next time you tell your wife or girlfriend "you sting!" think back to my article.

Don't say a word. You might run into a girlfriend who's read my article and she'll stick a strip of nasty pink wax on your chest in revenge ... and .... bon courage.
