To Tweeze Or Not

It's the little things in life... don't you think?

You know when you're standing in front of the bathroom mirror, tears streaming down your face... no, not from the reflection of the aging, sagging, bulging mass in front of you, but from "tweezing" those pesky little nose hairs! Dang I hate that- nothing worse in the world. I know it ranks right up there with child birth- women just have no idea. Anyway, my girls have been after me to go get my nose waxed... are you kidding me? "It doesn't even hurt" they say. Yeah, right. Have they "tweezed" a nose hair? I think not, else they'd not even suggest such a torture. Can you imagine plucking the whole wad at once? One is bad enough! Well, Brenda tricked me the other night when we were on our way home from our date. "Let's stop and see Madison on our way home" she says. OK, no problem, I like to see my girl at work (she is the receptionist at a cosmetology school). They had it all set up for the "yanking of the hairs". After having the "hot wax on-a-stick" shoved up each nostril (one at a time... but I was wondering if that's how the pharaohs of old felt when being mummified- getting those hot pokers shoved up the nose to scramble those brains...), then had to wait for about 5 minutes for the wax to harden. The cosmetologist-in-training said, "are you ready?" No, I like sticks in my nose... she put one hand on my forehead and grabbed that stick and pulled quickly... BAM- done! I couldn't believe it... no tears! The stick looked like an unfinished Tootsie-Pop that's been under your bed for years. I can't wait for my nose hairs to grow so I can go again. Now, I wonder if they do ears, hmmmmm. :D

  1. Oh, man. That sounds so painful, but not as painful as the bikini wax. OOOOOWWWW!!! You know, of course, what the longest hair is on your body, right? It's the nose hair! When you pull it out, it hurts all the way down in your toes. I can't imagine pulling all of those puppies out at one time.
