I recently saw an opportunity on one of the paid blogging sites about hair removal products. It was to have a positive tone (I have absolutely nothing good to say about removing hair), so I didn't take it. It did, however, make me remember something totally funny.
Did anybody purchase one of those Epilady contraptions that came out in the mid '80s? I just checked and the Epilady company still exists. I don't know why we all thought those would be the answer to our shaving prayers. I hated shaving with a passion (still do) and most depilatories make me break out in a rash. I remember I wanted one really bad (I was in high school then), so my sister and I each got one for Christmas. They had these revolving spring coil things that grabbed your leg hairs and ripped them out of the follicles. Man, did that hurt like a mother! Not only did that whole ordeal hurt, but the process dried out your skin and when the hair grew back, they were ingrown under your skin. Ick.
I think I remember hearing that was the most returned gift that year. Gee, I wonder why.
