I do remember the time my mom first took me to get my eye brows waxed and it was the first time I wanted to yell the F word. I don't like pain. I guess minus a few minor things I have never experienced pain, I have yet to break my arm or really any bone and I haven't given birth to a child. I guess I have little to compare a waxing too.
I know my mom, and sister and any other woman who is reading this that has given birth is probably laughing because I complain abotu the pain of my eye brow waxing and giving birth as my mom told me is like "pushing a turkey through your nose." (Yeah can't wait for that).

Any way maybe a woman can tell me why we go through this. I know we have to, to make ourselves look beautiful but I want to know why. For thousands of years women didn't wax, didn't shave and yet I read history books and they describe women as beautiful. Anne Boyelyn's beauty was suppose to have captured King Henry's heart but yet I bet she never waxed her eye brows. Maybe I should do some research into women's beautification systems. I do like fashion history so this is not that far away from that.
So some one needs to fill me in on this?

Pardon my oh so random rant.

Women and beauty. Perhaps Anne Boleyn never waxed her eyebrows, but she did pluck her hairline as a high forehead was desirable back then. Anne's daughter, Queen Elizabeth, also plucked her hairline and her brows. And in other eras, women did wax. Arms, legs, other places, especially the Napoleonic/Jane Austen era you enjoy so much. Like you say "beauty and pain". Enjoying your blog!
Thanks mom for fixing my thinking. I thimk a long with my fashion interest I will have to look into the beautification of women
