Pluck it, wax it, or better yet...

If we don't have it, we want it. If we have it, we do everything possible to get rid of it. Here's me getting my eyebrows threaded.

Every 6 weeks, my friends and I gather at one of our houses for flavored coffee and deliciously sinful treats, and we wait our turn to get a threading treatment from Jagruti. She's amazing to watch. With a long strand of cotton thread woven through her fingers, she pulls out rows of unwanted hair. It takes about five minutes. The pain is minimal, because as soon as I decide it hurts, she's moved on to a different place. She yanks those puppies out by the roots, so they don't grow back right away.

Last time, she said to me. "Should I do your upper lip?" That's when I realized for the first time that I'm growing a mustache! Oh no. Yes, get those, too. Where else am I growing hair where it never appeared before? That's a rhetorical question. No need to answer.

Let's move on to my husband. Who seems to have lost most of his head hair and acquired a whole lot in his ears and nostrils. I asked Jagruti if she works on men. She said yes, she'd be happy to rip out all that beastly overgrowth. Now I have to think of a way to include him in our next appointment. If I can just get him in the door...
