So remember when I said this?:
Well seeing as it’s summer and all, and I’ve just bought a new (tropical print with little tiny beads on it) bikini in which I intend to spend long hours lolling about in my lubly garden, I thought I’d get the dreaded beast of an epilator out from its hiding place in my knicker drawer.
Well, holy crapola, it hurt so much I nearly dropped dead on the spot. Imagine a whole nest of fire ants, all wearing tiny, poison-tipped pointy heeled stilettos, crammed under your armpit, each armed with a little tub of Vics Vaporub to rub into the open wound after they bite you and you’re not even halfway there.
I still can’t put my arms down and I finished half an hour ago. Jeebus. Damn you, Braun, and your clever hair-removing devices. I need a lie down.
also, do you expect hubby to look after himself ?
I feel your pain Missus. I deforrested before I went away last week. Not. Funny.
P.S. Throw away the bikini attachment. That much bruising is NOT attractive…
:X
Tara: It hurts like a bitch. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to use it again x
DBM: Ah, you’ve been there have you? Friend of mine dropped hers on a towel and it had an epilator nervous breakdown trying to defuzz it. LOL.
June: No, thankfully. Saw them on an episode of CSI. You know the one where Nick’s kidnapped and buried alive with them? *shudders* x
I know exactly what you mean. I look as though I’ve ridden across Ireland barebacked on a very skinny pony!
Not that C would be jealous. He’s already pointed out to me on numerous occasions that ‘the tide wouldn’t take me out’.
I’m going to try laser next. Oh! The joys of being a brunette!
[snaps out of it] So back to bic then is it?
I stood nose-to-pit with a tall Spanish lady all the way from Killester to Tara Street on the DART one particularly warm summers day.
A glance into the Seventh Circle of ‘au natural’ Hell and not to be recommended or emulated.
(shudder)
Thrifty: On examining my red raw plucked chicken armpits, Hubby helpfully pointed out that I’d missed quite a few short bits anyway. Yep, back to being Bic’s Bitch (to quote K8 the Great).
I have waxed my legs before, ‘for charity’ I might add … maaaaan, that hurts !
Love the veggie patch by the way!

Tara: Ah yes, not only Tara Street, but Tara Street Station, no less x
