We must suffer to be beautiful

Well, that's hardly a beautiful picture of me, but I needed to show you my eyes. My salon (doesn't that sound nice? Like I go there more than twice a year?) had their customer appreciation party yesterday. Champagne, chocolate fountains and free services made it a cool afternoon. Now, I'm pretty low maintenance, actually, I'm low maintenance with a vengeance, but I love girly stuff like nail polish and makeup even if I don't wear it much.

So I went straight for the brow waxing! The first time I had that done, I asked the waxer if I really needed such a treatment. She laughed and said, "OH, YES!". Hmm.. apparently I was as hairy as a yeti and didn't even know it! So now I have it done once a year (at the free party) whether I need it or not. My guys cannot understand the lure of this. "My, that does sound like fun", said the 15 year old (in that tone that only a 15 year old can achieve). The 13 year old wanted to know the exact temperature of the wax and hubby (wisely) kept his mouth shut, lest attention turn to his own eyebrows. Geez, tweeze a guy once while he's sleeping and he'll never forget it. You'd think it was a cattle prod from all the whining!

Guys are just not tough enough to be beautiful.
