It’s almost showtime.
Sorry, we’re not talking Christmas, we’re talking book release–just nine more days! Like little kids who can’t wait to open our wrapped presents, we just can’t wait to share our book. So we’re giving you a little sneak preview as we head toward December 29th. Remember, a little teasing makes everything so much more delicious?
So today a little titillation from Chapter 2.
Grooming: Maintaining a Baseline of Maintenance
Time to come clean about why you spend so much time and money grooming.
It’s not because having Olga (the former Russian weight lifter) squeezing out the blackheads around your nose feels good. It’s not because Pierre’s peroxide concoctions burning your scalp feels good. And it’s certainly not because Dr. Richboobs sucking the fat out of your thighs feels good.
Face it: You groom to be dirty–to be the hottest, sexiest…you can be. You groom to be rich….You groom to live forever–to look in that mirror and count the smooth decades ahead.
But just like hunting for that big Neanderthal or rich investment banker are passe vestiges of a primitive drive, so too is succumbing to product marketers and service providers preying on a girl’s God -given insecurities. It’s time to wake up… and for you to define the rules of the (grooming) game.
Bitches on a Budget refines the products and services a smart, modern woman needs to look great, where to find them, what’s worth splurging on, and when to it’s time to take a pass.
We can hardly wait to hear what you think!
Bitches on a Budget is being published by the New American Library division of Penguin Books. Ask your bookseller when they’ll be putting it out on their shelves!
@brazilnut but I pay like $15 to get my eyebrows waxed I have never paid the amount you pay and why do you get a wax every 3 weeks they are suppose to last 6-8wks AT LEAST. I get it done every 10wks, my eyebrows don’t grow THAT fast. I don’t have a mustache to I don’t need to get my lip waxed but even a brazilian bikini wax is like $40.
I simply wanted to add a comment here to say thanks for you very nice ideas. Blogs are troublesome to run and time consuming therefore I appreciate when I see well written material. Your time isn’t going to waste with your posts. Thanks so much and carry on You’ll defintely reach your goals! have a great day!
I used to wax my brows and lip every 3 weeks, just as the salon I went to liked it. After having a baby and taking a year off work to be a SAHM I realized that 75$ every three weeks is not money I have anymore.
I checked around in SF for threading (an Eastern way of hair removal) and started to go to a new place. Not only is it totally sanitary, all they use is a piece of thread. It is only 20$ for both eyes and lip! I almost fell out of the chair, it is so worth it. Also you are less red in the end, and it takes about the same amount of time. Total score!!!
