Due to a highly toxic combination of laziness and lack of skirt/dress wearing [I tend to wear skirts/dresses everyday, but with being unemployed I mainly just wear pajamas and sweatpants - very sexy] I neglected to shave my legs for some time. Also, it's been a long, tough winter and cold so I need all the help I can get in maintaining ye olde core temperature. However, last weekend I decided to wear a skirt and I attempted to shave my legs. This did not go well - I am one hairy little monkey and shaving resulted in about one-third of the hair being removed. Bummer.
Many, many years ago Joseph and I were quite taken with this particular infomercial for a hair removal system called [...wait for it] Nad's. Oh my. When viewed @ 3am this is the most frakking high-sterical thing one has ever seen [yes, we are now and forever 12 years old]. They just kept saying nads and it was all serious and talking about all of the different places one could use/put Nad's. Well, recently we noticed this product @ Zellers and I thought about giving it a try. Since my earlier attempts @ clean-shaven legs was thwarted tonight I tried Nad's Hair Removal product. Ummmm - I'm not sure if you know this - but infomercials are all dirty, filthy lies. Really. Bad things happened. I should consider joining some class action lawsuit or filing a consumer report, but it was only $10 and someone who is too lazy to shave her legs is far too lazy to do either of those things.
I decided to "Nad myself" in front of the TV - mostly because I live in front of the 12 and the Blue Jays were playing in their first extra inning game of the year and I foolishly thought they would pull out the win. Also, it's supposed to be non-messy. That was a lie. The gel/wax stuff was kinda hard, but pliable and very sticky - I couldn't get it to come out of the container without leaving trails of stickyness [like honey]. I was supposed to apply a thin layer, but this proved impossible as it is unspreadable. So, with smooshed down blobs of Nad's on my legs I applied the cloth strip thing [that's apparently reusable...which - ew] and prepared myself for pain-free removal. Except, not. There will be pain [which is not really as bad as women say, but it does still hurt]. What there won't be is a significant amount of hair removed. Sorry about that. I tried over and over again - and really I just got really sticky and candy-smelling. Like I put melted Jolly Ranchers on my leg for some reason [note: I think I may have actually done this - I was really into Jolly Ranchers in the mid-90s]. Eventually, after getting the cloth strips stuck to my arm, my fingers all sticky and the remote control being @ risk and slightly sticky...I called it a night with maybe one-third of one leg kinda Nads-ed. One thing that I hate [and I don't know why I didn't think this would cause me problems] is being sticky. And I was sticky [still am - it doesn't seem soluble].
