Considering so many politicians these days have relationships with prostitutes of both the male and female variety, it is humorous to me that they are considering the latest bit of legislation. The Proposal? Should we outlaw Brazilian wax jobs? Yes, NJ lawmakers are considering making the act of giving or receiving a Brazilian wax job against the law. Never mind that the economy is in the toilette, 8 percent of people are out of work and more rising every day. Forget that the "president" is trying to negotiate with terrorists. What really concerns lawmakers is the people who want their pubic hair ripped out at the roots.
I have had one of these waxes, and I didn't enjoy it in the least. But for some women like me, it's just what has to be done. I can understand that you can get infections any time you open the skin up, particularly in damp areas like the lady apartment downstairs tends to be. Proper hygiene is crucial. But if a woman wants that done... are you really gonna arrest her? Are you going to shut down shops that supply a service to women that is never going to be seen by the public? It's not like someone is going to get into their car after having one too many waxes and kill someone.
I guarantee that there is not a swimsuit model in the entire Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition that didn't have that done prior to getting photographed. Honestly there are too many women who don't take care of their lady apartment downstairs well enough as it is, (we've all gotten stuck near one in public and smelled them at least once). Not to mention if it is bringing in money to the economy, (and usually steady income every four to six weeks for most wax pros) then in today's state of affairs, shouldn't you just leave it? A woman can abort a child but can't have a wax? Seriously? I have to definitely say that when it comes to waxing I am pro-choice. We need to find these politicians something to do. Or at least we need to get their prostitutes to strike until the waxing ban is lifted or something. See... In Amsterdam they have prostitute unions, then the Prostitute union could strike till the lawmakers agreed to let women have waxes. Geez... I believe I have digressed yet again.

OK,now THAT is crazy. I don't think it will pass though. Too many guys like infantilized women, or have been societally programmed to expect hairlessness. If it interferes with THEM getting their freak on, they ain't a gonna do it.
On the other hand, you know as well as I do that if some some woman somewhere gets one of these things gets one in less-than-sanitary conditions and gets and infection and dies or something, everyone will be up at arms about it. Never mind all the people that die from other things that need to be regulated, like food safety, for instance. Waxers don't have a rich powerful lobby like the meat industry does to protect it.
People like to have a cause to rail against because it makes them feel a) like they're doing something to make the world a better place; and b) gives them something to feel better about themselves for (i.e. at least I'm not in to THAT). Smugness with a veil of altruism really seems to get some people off. And thank goodness I'm not into THAT! LOL
Well the whole legislation came about for that very reason. two women got an infection for whatever reason and wound up hospitalized. Me personally I am not into total hairlessness either. I can't understand why some people want it to look like a two year old girl down there. I had it done but I made them leave some of it. Just making it clean ya know?
Since I like furry men, waxing just has no place in my life. But live and let live.
