A while back Gwyneth Paltrow managed to work into an interview the fact that she had gotten a Brazilian bikini wax (in other words, Everything off of Everywhere). And she said that getting the wax completely changed her sex life. The friend I was with at the time agreed that Ms. Paltrow had given us far too much information.
But then I thought, wait a minute: She said it completely changed her sex life. That fact stuck with me. “Completely” implies a big change, wouldn’t you agree?
If you haven’t seen The 40 Year Old Virgin with Steve Carell, you’re missing something. It’s a far sweeter effort than the rest of its genre, but the scene in which he attempts to get his chest waxed is worth the entire movie.
Both Gwyneth and Steve came to mind recently because I decided to try the full bikini wax thing. (For me, getting divorced seems to bring out the urge to experiment.)
About the Brazilian experience: let me refer you to the waxing scene in The 40 Year Old Virgin, when Steve Carell gets one of the first strips of wax ripped off his chest (which he had never had done before that scene—they knew they could only get one take), he then sits up and screams directly into the face of the woman doing the waxing:
“Sucker motherFUCKER! You shithead! I HATE you! I hate you SO much!”
And that was just his chest.
I'm thinking she may have meant completely changed as in completely unable to have relations while the inflammation subsided, but I have only braved my eye brows in the wax department, so I am not one to talk.
Did the earth move for you or what?
