A 77 year old woman told me she enjoyed reading A Promise of Passion, because it made her remember her first sexual encounters. They were memories she hadn’t thought of in decades. For one, she remembered how gross it was the first time she french kissed a boy. She thanked me for resurrecting those memories. That made me feel really good.

When you tell your work that you have a doctor’s appointment during lunch (and you’re secretly going to get a Brazilian at Mark & M.E.), your co-workers may want to know what kind of doctor you’re going to. Be a better sleuth and tell them you are going to the dentist. That’s self-explanatory.

We try to make waxing fun at Mark & M.E. because for us, it is a really fun thing to do for a living. We know how sexy and empowering a wax can make a woman feel. We also know how much fun you can have after you are smooth as a baby’s bottom!

A girl decided to forego being waxed so she wouldn’t sleep with someone prematurely. After the third date, she was debating whether or not to get a Brazilian. Her girlfriend saw how hairy she was and recommended she come see me because it had been way too long. They decided that they would call the salon and “insertion would be based on M.E.’s availability.” I had an opening that afternoon. When I finished the service, she sat up and said, “insertion is now a possibility.”

This morning, I went for an acupuncture treatment for some tendonitis I have in my hands. It is the only thing that has really helped me with the swelling and the pain. As I was lying there, I was thinking about how cool it would be if I could use the needles to help my clients deal with this discomfort that often accompanies a Brazilian Wax. Just a thought.

I’m an avid Words With Friends player. It keeps my mind thinking and helps me build my vocabulary.  Last night, I used the word afro. In my line of work, afro’s come in all sorts of colors, not just black. My first thought last night was “I wonder how many afros I’ll see tomorrow?” Am I obsessed with
The Happy Hoo-Ha or what?

Sometimes, we still get sketchy calls from men about our Gentleman’s Brazilians. I had a man call last week who asked me what we did when we gave a guy a Brazilian. I told him we remove all of the rectal and pubic hair. He said, “that’s all?” I said “yes.” I don’t know what else he was expecting. OK, maybe I do know what he was expecting. But that is not happening. Doing a Brazilian on a man is a legitimate service that we do very well at Mark & M.E. If you’re expecting more, find a prostitute.

A woman told her friend she had been getting waxed every six weeks for the past two years and thought it was so much better than shaving. She said that the service usually took about 45 minutes and the technician was pretty nice. The friend suggested she get waxed at Mark & M.E., because it only took about 10 minutes. She also told her it would be the funniest wax she ever got. The woman didn’t understand how a Brazilian wax could be funny. I met this woman last week and we laughed the entire time. Now she understands. I thrive on making every wax a fun experience. Instead of being the Home of the 10 Minute Brazilian, maybe we should be the Home of the Belly-Laughing Bald Beaver Beauty Salon. Ok, that was wordy. Suggestions anyone?

I had a request to do a facial on a woman’s hoo-ha and Mark & M.E. decided that it is time to offer this incredibly cosmopolitan service to the beautiful women in Rochester, N.Y.  Performed one week after a Brazilian Bikini Wax, the Pampered Peach Facial will provide the delicate area with all of the benefits of a deep cleansing and exfoliating facial. You will have more control of your ingrown hairs and the area will be prettier than ever!

Loved the latest review of A Promise of Passion! Sequel should be out by the end of the summer!
“Great book, easy to read! Definitely a can’t put down book. A true love story that most of us only dream of. Can’t wait to read the sequel!”
