Brazilian

There I was, naked from the waist down, to wax my butt, clutching my knees and trying to act like this was not the most vulnerable position possible.

I am brave. Or maybe just blissfully unaware of danger. At night, I walk alone down alleys. In inclement weather, I drive at regular speed.

When I first started working as an aesthetician 14 years ago, Brazilian waxes were the domain of strippers, dancers, and porn stars. But they've since gone mainstream. Everyone from your little sister to your 60-year-old neighbor gets one.

Science tells us that shaving is A-OK. Nice.
