VIHR

Sometimes I get really dedicated to Very Important Hair Removal. Now there’s one thing I’ll never do, unless maybe I start a porn career. (My doctor friend: “It’s mucosa! Would you ever shave your tongue?!” Exactly.) But I do wax my eyebrows, trim the ol’ nostril cilia, and use a

medieval torture device

on my leg and armpit hair.

And then there’s the mustache. The mustache that my friends swear they can’t see, and I usually don’t either, until I’m sitting in my car with the late afternoon sunlight pouring in, and I flip down my visor mirror, and GOOD GOD, I LOOK LIKE GERALDO RIVERA.

And I can’t help myself, I head for the wax. This is a bad move, a stupid move, because it always ends the same way. Whether I wax it myself, or I have it waxed by a professional, no matter what kind of wax I use, or if I pluck it with tweezers, or if I steam my pores open first, or even get it threaded at the mall, I always spend the next five to seven days with tiny whiteheads on my upper lip.

What’s worse? A mustache that can only be viewed on sunny days between 4:00 and 6:00pm in my vehicle or a week’s worth of lip acne?

The mustache, right?

(Everybody pretend you don’t see my lip acne for the next week, K?)

  2. I do! I love it! I mean, it doesn’t hurt that bad anymore, and I use it maybe twice a month. The only thing that sucks is you don’t get that silky-smooth, just-shaved feeling.

  8. One thing I have actually noticed is that often there are plenty of misconceptions regarding the finance institutions intentions whenever talking about foreclosure. One fable in particular is the fact that the bank wishes to have your house. The financial institution wants your hard earned money, not the house. They want the cash they loaned you along with interest. Averting the bank will simply draw a new foreclosed final result. Thanks for your article.
