Ow. Ow/Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.Years ago the Tribune did a story about Brazilian waxes, and we had trouble trying to come up with a photo to illustrate the story: Aesthetician brandishing a popsicle stick in a menacing manner?My ideal would have been a local, still-photo version of this video, which chronicles the whole wax-on, wax-off experience — the anticipation, the dread, the countdown, the rrrrip — to bouncy music, no less! (And check out the name of the song, fans of the wry twist.) But the prospect of explaining this concept to a salon aesthetician, and then to each client/potential subject, was a little too daunting. We didn’t have the time — or, probably, the persuasive skills — to pull it off (sound effect: rim shot).My favorite moment: When the woman translating for her friend asks if it’s going to hurt and the technician says, “Yeah, it’ll probably hurt like hell” and the woman turns to her friend and says, “It’s completely painless.”The video is, technically, safe for work — no nudity, no cursing. However, if someone curious walks by, you’ll have to explain that you’re watching women get waxed. And that might be something a little tough to handle on a Monday.
