Just when you thought it was safe to pull your pants down, completely bare has taken a simple Brazilian wax to the next level yet again.  By now, you all know about the “Vajazzle” (crystal designs applied to your bikini post wax or laser, in case you’ve been living under a rock! ),  but hold the phone- here comes “Vatooing”.  Known as “Bikini Ink” in some circles, Vattooing is exactly what you think it is; a temporary tattoo for your lady bits.  Before you go thinking it’s merely a peel off tattoo anyone can get for a quarter in a gumball machine (give us more credit than that), here’s the deal: After your wax, be it a basic, Brazilian or completely bare, even after your permanent hair removal treatment, a completely bare “Vatooing” specialist will let you choose from several stencils from initials (your boyfriend’s, girlfriend’s or just any random letters applied accidentally on purpose  to keep a certain misbehaving someone in check!)  to a rock and roll inspired heart.  Then you’ll be given your color options.  From there we airbrush on your chosen design, and Voila! You are Vatoo’d for up to five days.   The colors, by the way, are my favorite part.  Not only do you have your basic rainbow ( ROY G. BIV if you will…), but we also have a metallic rainbow.  Want two colors? No problem.  Three? You got it.  It’s totally customizable and perfect for the girl with a bit more of an edge to her.  We are so obsessed with it, we made a hilarious and adorable video! Check it out and sign up to get Vatoo’d with your next wax!

By now, I’m sure you have all heard about the Jennifer Aniston/Bill O’Rielly drama. In case you haven’t,, here’s the lowdown: Aniston, while promoting her latest flick The Switch, about a women who uses IVF to have a baby, said that “women are realizing, more and more knowing, they don’t have to settle with a man just to have a child.” In response, O’Rielly (whose archaic belief that the penis rules all) says she is  “throwing a message out to 12 year-olds and 13 year-olds that hey, you don’t need a guy, you don’t need a dad, and that’s destructive to our society.” It is his message of barefoot and pregnant, of leaning on a man for security and fulfillment, is what is actually destructive to society.

Some of you may know that I’m a single mother of 8 month old twin baby girls, but what many of you probably don’t know is that I spent years going through several IVF treatments to have a baby.  It took determination,  desire, painful shots, weight gain, and  emotional stress to have them in my life.  I look at them and know that in a heartbeat I would do it all again and again. Getting pregnant and becoming a mother has been, and will continue to be the most important thing I have ever and will ever do in my life.  Does having them outside of the “traditional” situation mean they are loved any less?  They will, in fact, grow to be a contributing and positive influence on society because their mother was empowered to follow her dream and was determined never to settle.  These are the values we need to teach our children.  Giving up on having a child because my romantic life wasn’t going according to the “rules” was not even an option for me, nor should it be for others.  Women can do things on their terms and not leave the dream of motherhood on the shoulders of some prince charming that may or may not show up, nor should they feel trapped by the old standard of some biological ticking clock.

Now before you say anything, let me say that I’m simply saying that there are options; there are more choices.  Of course a mother and a father in a loving relationship is wonderful way to bring up a child.  But let’s get real here- sometimes that doesn’t happen.  And if it doesn’t, women don’t have to throw away their desire to become a mother, nor do they have to settle for anything less than what truly makes them happy.    Mr. O’Rielly,  how many 12 and 13 year old girls do you know will be running out for IVF treatments after hearing Aniston’s words?  Her message of empowerment and of self fulfillment is one that young girls should be taught. Never having to rely on others for fulfillment; that real happiness can only be achieved from within.  Aren’t these the type of people we want bringing up our children?

So I’m sure that everyone can remember (way back in their head) their FIRST GRAY HAIR! Ughhhh!!! I remember mine, age 25, while prepping for a night out on the Aspen town I was doing the typical: moisturizing, makeup and blowing out my hair.   UMM!??!?! What is this?! I found that one straggler that almost led me to tears? What does this mean? Am I middle-aged, already!? HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!?! Isn’t gray hair for grandmothers??

Okay….so what happens when you find that first gray hair….ehhh hemmm….down there?? Well let me tell you from my OWN experience, it is LIFE CHANGING!!! (to say the LEAST!!!!)   What?!?! How?!?! When did this happen?! I found two gray hairs down south and I’m ONLY in my forties AND I am dating!!! Does this mean that I’m now passed my middle-aged hysteria and on to OVER-THE-HILL!?!?

I spoke with my hairstylist about this because we are around the same age….I might be 2 1/2 months, 3 days, and 54 seconds younger than her just saying! :P she however, has not been through this same experience, LUCKY!!! But secretly I’m awaiting the day for her to sprout these gray hairy situations! Ha!

So ladies, have you experienced this yet or know of anyone who has? BE HONEST and tell us your first gray hair down there story!

While out celebrating my friend’s birthday, The Hills style, on a BOAT we got to some…let’s say…”water-cooler talk”? Well I guess it’s not so much water cooler talk, but we were on a boat, on the water having some cold drinks to rehydrate – just go with it – ha!

As we were mingling with friends of friends we were discussing one another’s job and I responded with “I work for completely bare”…. Well that’s ALL everyone had to hear! Before you know it “vajazzles”, “PENazzles” and “bedickles” were coming out from each angle – WHOAAA!!! Didn’t expect to get such an animated reaction from not only the girls BUT the GUYS!!!

The guys first started out with jokes such as “why did the bedickle cross the road?” the answer – “to get to the vajazzle!” DUH! Then….they started to get serious asking if it hurt, if they can make their own array of crystals, if hetero guys did it, etc!

Well guys, YES – surprise us! Bedazzle your, eh-hem, jewels! It isn’t just for females….and it doesn’t hurt as much as the guy below is making it out to be!

EVERYONE has a code name for their “down there” candy…what name change have you made?!

I call mine “va-jay-jay” but I also went around and asked my closest friends what they called their lil’ lady and why…

Friend #1 didn’t steer clear of using the good old maiden name, vagina. She chose this because it’s the “proper” word versus the other…..lets say….not soo proper names out there.

Friend #2 calls it “The Pink” not to be confused with the color pink, but as in: “what’s up with your pink?”

Friend #3 – THIS IS A GREAT ONE – her boyfriend actually calls it the turkey because after she gets waxed it looks like she was just defeathered…ha!

Friend #4 calls it her “hoo-ha!” – her simple reasoning…because you can “gender classify” (didn’t know that this was even possible) the simple “hoo-ha” and transition to a masculine “hoo-hoo”….OH BOYYY!!!

Last but not least….

Friend #5 calls it “BRITNEY” – I’m pretty sure that we all know the reasoning behind that one…

What do you call your private area??
