I have been getting my legs waxed for nearly 10 years now. No hairs on the back of my legs and now patchy on the front. So hanging out for the next few years when they will all be gone. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

meow - we're not personally going to any festivals and i don't really know of any around here, i mean, i know there are some but i don't know about them. i'll ask my mum, she'd know more. what sort of festivals are you looking for, my mum will know about all the folk festivals and stuff like that.
on new years eve i think there's the cusp which is family orientated, it's in trafalgar park and i think it's about $5. there's often alot of teenagers who go there though, even though there's a glass and alcohol ban. i'll ask my mum about other festivals and get back to you. ------------- |

i've always wanted to get my legs waxed, i tried to do it myself once but chickened out after half a leg because it hurt too much, it also came out really patchy. i think i'd have to get them professionally done or not at all.

I pay to get mine done by a professional. Will be interesting this time around with the huge bump. She did tell me that we will work things out. Last time my friend did them (she had the quals) and we did them at my house, I layed on the couch and lifted my leg up so she could do the backs. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

All the 12 - 20 year old "wanna be skank/playgirl/bad girl/ 100% bit$h" chicks wearing next to freaking nothing, regardless of their size....*shudder*
Yes, miss size AT LEAST size 20, hanging round outside work yesterday with your 2 kids, smoking and talking loudly on your cellphone, large muffin hanging out from under waaaayyyyy too short boob tube, and over the top, and under the arms, wearing your too tight and shiny AND TOO LONG trousers, I am talking TO YOU!! mmmmmhmmmmm. Really made me feel like my lunch. And, yes, I am a "big girl", but I appriciate that no everyone wants to see all my rolls at once... ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

What gets me with that Annie is she most likely got up, dressed, and checked herself out and thought "damn, I am hot and I look GOOD" Oh to have a mirror like that! ------------- ">

I am not exaggerating when I say her muffin was more of an apron, it hung down to at LEAST her pubic bone. *SHUDDERSHUDDER* ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

OK that is just scary, come to Palmy and see them all, they are always in town thinking they just look the best. I'm on the bigger size and I make sure i'm covering up the big fleshy bits. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
