Quite possibly too personal.....

***Pre-emptive warning to all male blogging friends (and possibly some female ones), this topic might make you cringe or blush and it might even be down-right bothersome to you. If you read, you are reading at YOUR OWN RISK. I am warning you ahead of time before you read it in it's entirety and any responsibility from here-on-out shall be laid upon your shoulders for I can not be held responsible after this WORD.

Okay, I have contemplated embarking on something and have done extensive research in a 'Monica-like' fashion (you know from "Friends" all organized and methodical and stuff.) This is probably a topic that might fall into the 'too much information' realm but I need help and...... well I thought of you all (aka fellow bloggers.) I know the men might not be much help here and I FULLY expect humorous responses, in fact some are encouarged as I find the question humorous myself, but here goes:

I am contemplating getting a Brazilian wax and for anyone who doesn't know what that is, feel free to read this article before commenting. I'm going to go to the beach in a month and this idea has been bouncing around in my wild, strawberry-blonde head for a few months now.

But in all my methodical reading and research one thing remains unanswered and that's what I aim to gather here. They tell you in most, okay practically ALL, of the articles that yellow pages searches for a proper waxing salon that does less painful and longer lasting work isn't the way to go. They state that the best waxers are found by word of mouth. Yes, by word of mouth.

The question is... how do you go about this?

Most of the people I talk to around town are men or, dare I say, 'plain-Jane' SAH mom's. I might be judging a book by it's *ahem* cover here but I can't fathom a good majority wanting one or even having gotten one. If I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit my error and beg for forgiveness. But with the women I do talk to most of what we chat about are our kids or the weather. Sure there are the occassional conversations about going out next week to see a band (and yes that has been posed for next Saturday and I'm definitely considering it because that would be awesome!!) or play that crazy wild game of Bunko and 'why hasn't a regular rousing game been scheduled in the last two months?' (which btw hasn't been scheduled and I'm relieved to know I haven't been permanently X'd off the list as I had previously feared. But I fear that a question such as this question might do the trick.)

So my question is this: How do you ask a friend down the street who would give an excellent Brazilian wax? I mean, how do you breech such a topic or nudge the conversation in such a direction. Sure talking about going to the beach and even buying a bikini might be in the right direction but how does one say "Speaking of bikini's...don't you hate that hair in the bikini line? And speaking of bikini lines... how about some of the other hair. I know I want to get rid of it, in fact, I'd like to get a brazilian, do you know of a good waxer?" without shocking looks and whispers surely behind your back. Perhaps even a snicker or two when you walk back from the bus stop. So you see, I'm in a bit of a pickle here so any GOOD suggestion will be considered and greatly appreciated. Thank you and blog 'ya later.
