Believe me.... I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER do that again!!! I think I even posted that in my log I can handle most of it like arms, face. Not legs, and arm pits I could do again if I did it like starting now and let the hair thin back out because it's actually not bad once the hair texture changes.... but boy that first time is like meeting God!!!!

And with some people like me, the hair NEVER thins out or changes texture so EVERY time is like the 1st!

my friend didn't let hers grow long enough in the armpits and tweezed the rest out, OUCHHHHHHH that scared me away.

Tre -

good tip on the exfoliating. what does the aloe vera do?

Well that was all per Shadow recommendation. It helps keep the skin moist and is what he always used. It's kinda stickey as well so watch the clothes you wear because it will leave little greasy marks on them. I noticed it did work better then lotion because it was like a film. So I took a shower applied that and it almost sealed in the moisture from the shower and slowed soaked in over time.

OMG I don't know how you let them wax all of you, I was cursing like there was no tomorrow (I had only my underarms, and bikini done) I wanted to punch the woman so bad, lol

She felt sooo bad too!!! Like my hair grows crazy in all directions as well to add on top of it. So she kept missing spots, rewaxing spots, it was TORTURE!
Especially after she would then give up on a section and ie. the tweezers came to my armpits!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH I had no energy to flee... I did not break one tear at all. Until I sat in my car. I was determined not to let her see me cry. That is definitely a way to get a person to admit to a crime. I'm sure it's as bad as what they used to do by sticking nails up under people's nails to get them to spill their guts! I went into military background mode and took it like a man. Then again I think any man would have been crying.

F that. When I did my first show I had gotten a promo razor in the mail - one of the really expensive good men's razors and I saved it until about a month out from my competition and started this ritual shaving of everything (no not "weird" ritual) -- but just to get myself in the mindset of "I am a competitor" and I was in it for the full run. I've done that ever since & pretty much cannot deal w/ stubble, period.

Aloe vera - anything you can do to keep your skin moist & supple prior to the protan phase will work to your advantage. The tanning is brutal enough, but then go into the water deplete phase & the protanning and your skin will start to drive you nuts. By the night show you want to scratch your face off but you can't because then you'll protan flake under the bright lights. Its bad enough people will start asking if your face is falling off the day after the show.

we need to invent something better. I'd suggest henna, but we'd all be orange.
