Beauty is Pain

Okay so today I went to get my eyebrows and lip waxed...something I hate to do but know I have to because if I don't I feel like how Julie Andrews describes Anne Hathaway for having bushman eyebrows. But I know what I have to do. So I went and OW! When I sat up to look at my brows I had to wipe a tear away and the woman asked me if I was all right. I said "yes" but I really wanted to be like "no I hate this". But I didn't want to say that, that would be mean.

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?

Just re-read this posting and thought about how during my senior year of college I studied about the corset and the what pain and restrictions it did to the body and I'd rather get my eye brows waxed then wear a corset. I guess compartively we girls in the 21st century have it easier than other centuries so I should not complain too much.

Pardon my oh so random rant.
