My associate Dr. Larue alerted me to an article in the New York Post about moms bringing in their pre-teen daughters to get waxed. He knew it would upset me. Not that it takes a village to upset me. One spa owner believes it’s good for girls to start young and suggests that in ten years, “waxing children will be like taking them to the dentist or putting braces on their teeth.”
Another advocate for early waxing is Nair, whose hair removing line called ‘Nair Pretty‘ is clearly aimed at kids. Check out the kid in their ad.
Childhood will soon be no place for children. These developments are not good news for Lourdes. Let’s hope Madonna doesn’t read the New York Post.
In a more appealing direction, men’s underwear companies are reaching out to men who want a little oomph in their pants. Men, you work hard, you play hard; why not LOOK hard? The brand C in 2 makes some nice briefs that are designed with ‘Trophy Shelves’, “which enhances a man’s assets with incomparable support.” Compare the Trophy brief with the standard D & G brief.
If women need to wax, they should fucking well expect a Trophy in return, don’t you think?
I don’t wax. Never have, never will – and if any daughter of mine demands pre-teen waxing she’ll have to climb the fences of the compound under cover of darknes and outrun the attack dogs first.
The Trophy is kind of like those chicken fillets that women put in their bras, surely they contravene some kind of truth in advertising laws?
i put off feminine accoutrements for as LONG as possible. and i still don’t wax. they talk about waxing like it’s a necessity for life – teach them young? education about STI’s and self defence classes and oral hygiene and morality are necessity for life. waxing… not so much.
D’s got a pair of jeans that fit just so, and I find myself unable to draw my gaze away from his crotch when he’s wearing them. Which is, you know, fine at home, but kinda awkward when we’re out in public.
Currently I’m finding myself unable to navigate away from this page. Which is, you know, fine right now, but going to be kinda awkward when D gets up and I’m staring at crotch shots while having my morning coffee.
“Men, you work hard, you play hard; why not LOOK hard?” Is the best thing I’ve read yet today. Nice shootin’ Tex.
I read the article, and that is effing insane!! Just plain wrong. On the other hand, those crotch shot are just perfect.
I hope MrB never surprised me with a pair of those briefs.
ha ha ha ha ha!
Now I have a new screensaver.
I was in my local pennys recently looking for boxer shorts for Bratty (age 8) and saw BRAs for 6-8 year olds. Little bit of sick came up in the back of my throat and I had to stop and apologise to the minimum wage worker who was showing me around. She agreed they were sick.
In Ireland for the first communion; people put their children on sunbeds. That is SUN-BEDS (not spray tan) and get blonde streaks, false nails and of course, oompa loompa make-up for the big day when they join gods inner circle.
My SIL got her daughter’s arms waxed. (we are all a bit mediterranean around here) See, total cunt.

I have always been very impressed (and envious) of the enormous bulges to be see in the front of male ballet dancers’ tights. I was relieved to be told that they are re-inforced in order to act as a ‘stepping-stone’ for the ballerinas!
I’d say “yes,” I deserve a trophy, but I don’t wax. I shave. Have done since I was 12.
Skye & Miss Wombat – me too. Fight the Power!
Tobilynne & Bex-Yes, I myself started to lose concsiousness while gazing at pix of those trophies
Jody Reale -thanks, my pleasure
Wendyb- You could surprise HIM with a pair!
Hammie – The horror! Ugh!
David – Hahahaha! Now I have a new euphemism!
Enc – Go ahead and give yourself a Trophy. My treat!
Dearest Mme. Ste. Nigress,
Hell! Bring back the codpiece and be done with it! None of this pantywaist ‘shelf’ business! Get the whole Rose Parade Float right up front for a preternaturally prodigious and protuberant phallic pontoon.
