Down Town Disney

Waxing and Hairstyles of the Pubic Zone.

Early in history, the 1960’s, things were mostly ala natural. Sporting the “Full Bush” was the way to go with your boho maxi. As disco days moved upon the world, lots more shaving and trimming was required. However, once Pamela Anderson and the original Baywatch hit mainstream TV, not only did French cut red swim suits, large implants, and thongs become the everyday normal, so did waxing downtown (well, in Los Angeles and Miami Beach, for sure, for sure). Now, I am going to give a head nod to the porn industry, because in the 1990’s, almost every nighttime starlet had the narrow landing strip design or Hitler mustache, depending on who you spoke to. Porn was now setting the standard. That was the edgy go-to option when most women were ordering “just the bikini line” please. As time moved forward and internet porn became mainstream (especially in the workplace) the fashion for the land down under, quickly turned into the land of Brazil. I am not just talking about ladies either, men and LGBTQ included.

So, I began to ponder about my own experiments and those of my lady pack.

What is a lady, over a certain age (say 50 plus) to do? Research was required.

My gorgeous girlfriend, a feisty, voluptuous, 60+ blonde, and I were just coming out of a new Spa Grand Opening where we had both won 10 free units of Botox as our reward for showing up. Conveniently, she was going directly to her waxing salon in preparation for her Hawaii vacay, in a few days. Perfect set-up! I had to ask. What do you do down there, lady?

“Take it all off!” she answered with confidence and a smile.

As a follow-up, I decided to ask an expert, my waxing specialist, who has been in the business for years and done every major porn star and LA celeb, where she thought the trend was currently.

• First choice: “Brazilian” Still going strong for all ages! Everything off, everywhere.

• Second choice: “The Sandra Bullock” A tiny triangle or strip is left on the top and only ½ of the under area is waxed off for modesty purposes or possibly protection against camel toe in gym leggings.

• Runner up: “Play Boy" The classic style once common in Heff’s House. All off except a tiny tuff of fluff or a thin strip. That same tiny tuff of loveliness which is mentioned by Cameron Diaz in “The Other Woman”.

• BTW, all of the above do include “In the Butt” waxing.

I just wonder though, as gravity hits parts of us that the gym can’t revive no matter how many hours per day you work out, ……if “all off” is really such a good idea.

Budget in place, one can get a vaginoplasty. Problem solved. Yet, most of us have a different reality. If we have the funds, it’s going to our faces for Botox, fillers, laser peels and surgical procedures, places where the world will actually see all the money we spent on our de-aging process, not the down under.

Not sure if anal bleaching is still going strong or fading out! It doesn’t work that well anyway, at least the fade cream and it burns.

Some younger ladies have rebelled and stopped shaving everything. I have seen feminine armpit hair dyed blue, green, and lavender, so why not downtown Disney?

Bikini or bottom line: we have options, so go with your flow, but remember the minimum requirement for 2019 Downtown Disney must be more than simply trimming.
