Any Tibettes around? I have a seminar tomorrow and have picked out some pants. They are a little bit snug and I need someone to check out my ass and make sure I don't look unprofessional. I tried to get el husband to help and all he could muster was, "no....I don't know....ask one of your sisters!" Too bad they are all asleep.
I don't feel like looking at anyone's ass, but I say, if you have an alternative, wear it. If they're snug enough to be asking the question, you'll be uncomfortable the whole time, esp after lunch.
As a black man raised by a professional woman I am qualified to answer any questions you may have regarding your ass and these pants. Go on then.
Only if you don't mind if my reflex is to start singing "Whatcha gonna do with all that ass? All that ass inside your jeans?"
Has anyone else found their period is getting worse, more cramps, bloating and headaches as you get older. I am 31 and had what I assumed were normal periods as a teenager and into my 20's but the last couple years have been hellish.
Yep, we have discussed this before Satan, and the consensus is that this is just one other way that getting old sucks. Maybe it is nature's way of making us appreciate menopause when it finally gets here? Ladies - a little help here please. I have a job interview this week (yeah!), and I know what I would normally wear to a job interview. This one is trickier because it is for a position in an outreach program of a clinic for the lower income type population, specifically homeless people, more specifically for men who have recently been released from prison (hey - I'm desperate). So, I know what I would typically wear to a job interview, but am wondering if my interview dress for this position should be different. I have a nice black ponte material dress that I was going to pair with a cardigan, tights, and either conservative flats or heels. Nothing is tight, short, or clingy, however, my body shape is very curvy and can make a potato sack look inappropriate in situations (think Joan in Mad Men), so I am wondering if that will be OK. I am probably overthinking this because I am used to wearing scrubs to work.
They get longer and more erratic in terms of arrival times, too so you have that to look forward to as well. Fun for the whole fucking family, I'm here to tell you.
I agree on wearing flats; personally, I would go with black or grey slacks and a modest shirt with the cardigan. You can't go wrong with that - it's casual enough just in case (with the cardigan) yet could be dressier if you show up and that's how whoever interviewing you is. I'd avoid a skirt, given the nature of the position. I'm guessing you'd never wear a skirt to that job, right? I try to dress for interviews as I would dress for the position. My $0.02.
Hmmm, I see your point, but I actually don't think that I really have any "business appropriate" pants that I could wear. I have been wearing scrubs for work for at least 5 years and when I buy clothes, professional looking pants aren't at the top of the shopping list. I guess I could go buy some, but realistically will need to have them altered and I don't think that is possible before the interview on Thursday. I actually would probably wear a skirt to work even given this work environment. Obviously nothing above the knee or tight, but I feel covered up enough in a knee length skirt and tights. Maybe something that I would need to rethink. I have a friend who works there that I could hit up to ask the normal working attire, but she is currently on vacation. I know that she would be happy to take a text and respond but I would hate to bother her with the old "what should I wear" question!
Question about waxing. I have always shaved my bikini area, but want to try a brazilian wax. How much more painful is it than armpit waxing? Because that tends to hurt quite a bit, and I can't have any fabric touch the waxed area for at least a day. That is why I never dared to wax anywhere near the bikini zone. Also, one salon offers sugaring instead of waxing, and from what I read it seems like a better alternative (won't burn you, won't rip skin, less infections). Any of you ladies have experience with this?
I find that hair removal treatments get better with time. Whenever tweezing or waxing a new area is hurts like hell the first several times. Then it isn't so bad. I guess it depends on how your pain tolerance is in general.
Some advice: - Get a pro to do this. Seriously. If you're just going to do the edges, an at-home kit is fine. If you're going full Monty, let someone who knows (and can see) what they're doing do it. - Don't just get any pro. Ask her how long she's been doing it, and how long it typically takes her. Someone who knows what they're doing has you in and out in under ten minutes. I had the misfortune of getting an idiot once, and I was on the table for 45 minutes. - Re: pain. Depends on what part you're doing, and I imagine everyone is different. Oddly enough, the butt is the least painful part. For me it's the area right on the pubic bone at the front that hurts like hell's own pain. Nothing, however, is as bad as armpit waxing. I can't even bring myself to attempt to have that done.
I have not had my pits waxed, so I can't speak to that. But I can tell you that having your upper lip waxed is about 99,000% more painful than any part of the bikini zone (and I go full monty, no landing strip or any of that decorative crap). Takes my breath away every frickin' time. Regarding the area DCC mentioned, if you have someone who really knows her shit, she'll stalk up on the sides of that area until it's all gone and you never knew what hit you. I will follow my waxer to the ends of the earth, and that is not a lie. If you live in a major city, a good place to start is the Bliss spa. It will not be the budget option, but you can rely on them because they use the hard wax (you do NOT want any other type of wax on your bits) and they train their ladies well. I used to go to Bliss when I lived in LA and never bothered developing a loyalty to any one person because they were all so good.
I got my wife laser hair removal for our wedding (thanks, Groupon!). Pits, bikini area, legs, face, the works. It is awesome, although it took like 12 sessions.
I have toyed with the idea of getting the laser hair removal done on my pits. It's a fairly small area and a place that I never want hair to be. I need to read into it more, but does anyone have personal experience with this? How to they charge for this kind of service? edit: Apparently I am never getting laser done: <a class="postlink" href="http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/beauty/hair-removal/laser-hair-removal-cost.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-ca ... l-cost.htm</a>
For everything, out the door, including all treatments, I paid $1200. For the record, she didn't have a lot of hair, but she has very dark hair and very sensitive skin. It was really hard to shave her pits and bikini area without getting irritation. Since we were getting some done, I decided to just go for the full monty. She never complained of any pain, and said that it was less painful than waxing.
So, another job interview question. Yay or nay on traditional riding boots for an interview? This one is with a regular private practice physician office. I would absolutely wear them to work, but just don't know if I need to break the pumps out for an interview.
