Having strong European genes has made hair removal one of the biggest challenges in my life. Earning a university degree? Yeah, whatever. It doesn’t compare to the in depth research I’ve done regarding Nair, wax strips, five bladed razors, bleach, shaving creams, and hair removal aftercare. I am still waiting for my tax rebate to ...

Most of us will also agree that the Julyna campaign is going a bit too far in the name of publicity. Julyn‘s mission is: To increase awareness of cervical cancer, and to promote healthy lifestyle choices in ...

As I perused the excellent and extensive archives of the Morning Quickie the other day, I read with interest a short piece about the possible recent resurgence of more “natural” pubic hairstyles among women, following the appearance of this look on models in a couple of fashion shoots. The point was that there were some ...

Well isn’t this interesting. The clothing company with the skeeziest pedigree has embraced the bush. Does this mean that the famous perv Dov Charney wants to strike a blow for women’s lib?

Pubic hair is shocking. Proper ladies don’t have it, assuming it shows a lack of hygiene and general slothfulness. It’s also just so damn messy. However in a recent photo shoot for French Vogue, Crystal Renn proves that it is also just so damn sexy. [NSFW] Pubic hair was disappearing. It went from the wild ...

Brazilian waxes are essential, according to Suzi Godson. She told a 38 year old re-entering the dating pool that it was necessary grooming for all modern women. “Imagine burning-hot, extra-strength Sellotape being ripped from delicate skin … and now treble the pain.” What a shame she doesn’t know that this practice is headed the way ...
