Brazen Brazilian

I wasn't sure what to title this post.

Just one thought tonight.

I was getting my hair done and another one of my hairstylist's clients came in and was chatting with us. She is a senior in high school. And she was there to get a Brazilian wax.

This is a cute, popular, All-American, Christian girl. Just waitin' her turn to get it all stripped off. Why? Going to the lakehouse this weekend.

Oh my gosh! Times have really changed. I mean, really. I'm 34 and I can't even imagine subjecting myself to that kind of pain! When I was in high school, way back in the early nineties, I think the furthest lengths we went to was to go tanning and get fake nails. I took it another step and gave myself a truly sun-kissed look by putting Sun-In and lemon juice in my hair. Worked wonders. That's the way it was and we liked it! We loved it! (Sorry, SNL reference.)

I'm not really sure what it says about this generation of girls. As a mother of a precious 3 year old daughter, I do know that I want my baby not to have to grow up too fast, be too sophisticated, too soon. No need to have Carrie Bradshaw grooming habits at age 16 or 17.

Please. I beg you.
