Wax on, wax off? Är du alldeles tossig?

Från Associated Press:

The state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is moving toward a ban on genital waxing altogether after two women reported being injured in their quest for a smooth bikini line.

Both women were hospitalized for infections following so-called "Brazilian" bikini waxes; one of the women has filed a lawsuit, according to Jeff Lamm, a spokesman for New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the cosmetology board.

Här kan alltså noteras att det inte är någon självklar hälsokur att rycka ur hårstrån med rötterna med hjälp av smält vax. Och som vore inte det nog med lärdomar för en dag så reder Lamm även ut vad ett skrev inte är:

"The genital area is not part of the abdomen or legs as some might assume," Lamm said.

Förbudsförslaget avslogs dock, så National Cosmetology Associations och National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetologys (gemensamma?) observation att ingen delstat ännu förbjudit vaxning står sig.

Spaägare Linda Orsuto om debatten:

"It was an unnecessary issue. In New Jersey especially, where the government has been picking our pockets for so long, it was like: 'Just stay out of our pants, will you?'"
