Bundling Services
Lacy has been waxing me for years. She knows how I like my eyebrows. I like a subtle arch. I don't prefer the look of shock and awe on my face. She also knows how I like my, um...
I made the appointment last week. No one called me to tell me that Lacy was ill. When I got to the spa, Heather greeted me. I almost balked. Waxing is intimate. I hardly know Heather. She did my brows a few months ago. She's a small-talker. "So, what are you doing this weekend?" and "Any vacation plans coming up?" I am not good at small talk. Especially when my pants are off. When I get my brows arched, I prefer not to talk as I want to keep my face as neutral as possible. I am there to correct that unruly left brow, not to talk about my social calendar.
There was no way I was going to be able to drop my pants for Heather. Except for the fact that I was overdue for a waxing. Really overdue.
I should have waited. Now, my eyebrows are a little too thin. And elsewhere, well...I look a bit like Hitler with a harelip. It will all grow back in time. I remain loyal to Lacy.
G and I were discussing the intimacy of waxing. I mentioned that I would prefer to combine my gynecologist and waxing appointments. I could walk in and have my blood pressure checked, the nurse would draw blood, the esthetician would remove all unwanted hair, and the doc would handle everything else. G agreed, saying that the doc could prescribe a localized pain killer before the hair removal.
At first, I thought this was a good idea. But then I started thinking. I hate the feeling when I leave the dentist. That feeling that my mouth is really large. I drool and can't drink from a straw and I am certain that my entire face is swollen and distorted. I can only imagine leaving the OBGYN/Esthetician with the same sensation. Only not on my face.

I can just hear the GYN say, "Be careful! Don't bite your lip. Here. Take a cotton roll or two."
Yeah. I'm a dentist. I know the spiel.
allan,
I tried to bite my own lip once. I fell out of bed.

You may have just hit upon a great idea...a 'one-stop shop' for women's health and maintenence...hmmm...if it's ok with you I'll cut you in for a quick 10% after I set the deal with friends who are both OBGYN and Estethicians.
One office...all services provided...payment at time of service. It's a great sounding idea.
mr. g,
Sometimes, I amaze myself with my ideas.
I'll agree to your terms. Mostly because I am fascinated that you know people who are both gynos and waxers.
You know how you tense up when you go for a Gyny exam? You know that cold metal that feels nothing like your smooth plastic vibrator? Well I think if you're tense, the waxing may hurt more ... just sayin'
icl,
But the wax is soooo warm. And get waxed first for cryin' out loud. The gyny can't work with all that goin' on down there.
Hitler with a hare-lip is an interesting visual.
Now see I am just a big ol chicken - I am all about grooming, and trimming and shaving where needed but damn just thinking about dropping the draws and having it ripped away......whew just can't think about it
avitable,
Yes, I think I said, "Heather, give me a shape with an interesting visual, I'm over that whole sexy thing."
Love the new avatar.
cheeky,
Just like taking off a band-aid. Gotta do it quickly.

It appears that there are some zoning issues with your idea...if we include a resturant tho' we could bill it as a spa and ge the zoning issues resolved in no time.
Know any chef's willing to work in those conditions???
let me find out you are cheating on lacy. but i think that would be kinda cool to do the whole ob/gyn thing with the wax. it would take care of a lot of issues with women.
on second thought, maybe not.
mr. g,
Why yes, yes I do. I doubt he'll take my calls.
anastasia,
I have a fear of commitment. Therefore, no laser hair removal for me.
k,
Please don't tell Lacy.
nerd,
I'm sure this look is all the rage where you are.
That made me laugh out loud really. I love that last sentence. Your humor is quite funny.
srg,
Thanks for noticing.
