trimming your hedges in the garden state

So, though it's apparently been illegal in dirty Jerz for some time, the state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is enforcing the illegality of brazilian waxes in the state after two women complained of getting infections.

(Note: Jeff Lamm, the spokesman for New Jersey’s Division of Consumer Affairs quoted in the article, wants everyone to know "The genital area is not part of the abdomen or legs as some might assume." Because a lot of people assume that. I know I did.)

Anyway, while I personally never experienced the pleasure of having all of my pubic hair ripped off my body with hot wax, I have several friends who have and, after living to tell the tale, love the results. So while I understand the concerns of the state board (infections, unsanitary conditions), there are other ways to fix the problems before eradicating a service that some women utilize. How about enforcing stricter health measures in the places that do brazilians? IE: NO double dipping your stick, please and thank you.

According to my beloved housemate and one of my best friends, Thea, "there gonna be some angy* Jersey girls."

Either that, or we're gonna be seeing some beautiful bushes down at the shore of the garden state this summer.


*intentional removal of the R. say it outloud. ANGY.
