The pain of beauty...

At times I wonder about the amount of pain some women go through under the belief that it's required for beauty. Plucking, waxing, bleaching, all to change how you were meant to appear. I can understand the focus on blackhead removal though one "tool" my daughter has for that looks as if it's some type of a mini torture device, but as to the plucking and waxing, I'll never forget the one time my daughter asked me to assist in her under arm hair removal. In theory you place this hot wax on the area you want to remove the hair, press cloth or clothlike strips into the wax then pull. Considering the look on her face just from that process, one wonders why that's felt to be worth it...
