... and waning...
I had a brainwave in the shower this morning - a total Oprah light bulb moment...
(See? Chesty - this is evidence of the insidious invasion of Ms Winfrey into popular culture, indeed, into our very consciousness. I don't even watch the damn woman! And haven't in literally 10 years! When will it end???)
Anyway, cultural snobbery aside, my idea:
(And I should probably add, that I had just waxed my underarms before stepping into the shower... 6 hours later they still hurt... Is that TMI???)

This is a professional wax warmer... For those of you who have never encountered one.
I mean, I have four daughters, so it's going end up costing me a fortune for professional waxing. I think it's the perfect solution!
I only have a couple of concerns:
I only have a couple of concerns:
- Will we turn into the creepy Nads family, with bizarre waxing demonstrations on morning television. And broad cheesy smiles with big hair and horrid lippie?
- Will the girls end up inventing an even more horrific form of waxing than the infamous 'Brazilian' sisters of New York...?
- Do I think too much???? Mex seems to think so. I'm starting to believe her.
******************
Update: A friend has just advised me that his daughter had her legs waxed last week - she started High School this week aged 12, and her mother wanted to pre-empt any 'hairiness' issues she might have. Is this weird, or is it just me?

lady, dont you know anything??
you should NEVER believe anything i say.
but equally, just remember im always right.
Well the way I see it, you have two choices:
1/.Become the creepy Nads family, with bizarre waxing demonstrations on morning television. With broad cheesy smiles with big hair and horrid lippie.
2/. Become the creepy hairy family, whose mother was too cheep and insensitive to educate and fund the dipilatoration of her daughters in their formative years.
Choose the latter course, and you may well end up in the history books as the maternal head of a clan of hursuite wild women that run amok under the scarp, pulling unsuspecting travellers from their vehicles, so they can forcibly extract their seed, in an effort to improve the dwindling gene pool of The 'Gong.
Or maybe not.
I can't tell what it is ... And did you make the ad there yourself or does this thing already exist?
It looks like the chocolate fudge warmers we used to have at my old work.
mex - Quite! huh? Oh bugger.
Donnie - Hahahaha. Thank you. I guess you've sealed our fate...
LaRue - It's a wax warmer. So you're kinda sorta right. In fact, maybe it could have a dual purpose - what a good idea!
actually - why dont you just make them all get jobs so they can pay for their own bloody waxing.
That Nads family is VERY creepy!
And VERY hairy!
mex - brilliant plan! Why didn't I think of that!
surfercam - they are indeed - both hairy and creepy. I never understood why they happily waxed their own arms on national TV. Just weird...
why don't you just get the pot (for yourself) and worry about the girls when the time comes. they might decide that hair removal is not the lifestyle they choose! (one which i'd fully support, as i am on strike re: legs.) and anyway, by the time your twins are ready, there'll be some other fandangled machine to buy.
mars - see? this is why I bring my problems to the internet! You're damn right my friend...
Mars makes an excellent point. Also - maybe they'll find waxing too much of a drama and go the shaving option. It's possibly a little early to be making investments in their hair-removal future.
But yay for over-preparedness!
wierd
Yup weird.
But then I find it odd when 12 year (and younger) girls are getting highlights in their hair and eyebrow waxes.
I mean I only just started doing the waxing (shaver from way back) thing a few years ago and I still don't do highlights because I actually like the colour of my hair.
Just doesn't sit right with me, when they're 13, 14 + they can do it to themselves.
(Of course I've just doomed my future children to hairy, mousy browned teenage hell, but dammit I'll be their mother and it'll be my job to embarrass them!)
lies - why thank you for your comment! Your opinion is invaluable! Obviously Dodo decided to play nice again.
Lucy - There does seem to be a line doesn't there... 12 is too young, but the teens it's OK. I think the reason I want to be proactive is that getting them started on the waxing means that their hair regrowth should be less of a problem. Because, although they're all blonde little surfer chicks, I just know that my 1/16th Italian blood will make itself known...
actonb - "There does seem to be a line doesn't there..."
Yes, a bikini line. Tish! Boom!
I remember a lass getting paid out in winter at our high school in science class (where we sat on stools) cos her unkempt thigh leg hair protruded through her tights (and I'm talking burgandy red tights, not sheer black faux stockings...).
I'd say a wax is preferable to a social stigma.
That reminds me, better book my back, sack and crack in time for mardi gras......
plus Nads sucks. I bought their "facial wand" and it is the worst wax product of all time.
Having said that, waxing much better for your hair/skin than shaving, so why not?
And also: pre-empting hairiness? As a particularly hairy individual, I can honestly say that I am pretty glad my mother didn't take that path - even though I had hair issues right through my teens.
gw - I think we agree that the pre-emptive strike is a bad thing. Always.
Having said that, my mother wouldn't let me shave my legs until Year 11, which is an altogether different kettle of fish. Especially in light of the aforementioned Italian blood. I think we'll wait and see if the girls' continue to taunt me with their blonde hair...
