Hose Down Your Hoo-Ha

That friendship day had me reflecting…When I was growing up, I wasn’t very good at the girlfriend thing. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I am a little jealous of people who can boast they’ve had friends since kindergarten.  In middle school, I left behind my very best friend from the neighborhood and went to a male dominated private school. In high school, I focussed on my boyfriend. I do have a wonderful friendship with a very special woman I met my freshman year of college. I met Mark my sophomore year and he became it for me. It’s funny how I gravitated towards a profession that has me interacting with women all day long. Looking back, I think it’s something I really missed. On one hand, it makes me sad that I didn’t foster more female friendships growing up. On the other hand, I’m feeling pretty lucky that I’ve been able to establish such an intimate rapport with so many women during my twenty year stint at Mark & M.E.

Let me introduce a new addition to the #marknme team.  Her name is Tegan.  She is a NYS Licensed Esthetician.  In this photo, she is taking advantage of a masque that is part of the Mark & M.E. Skincare line.  To welcome Tegan to our team,  this week only, we are offering 50% all facials! Give a call and take advantage of this incredible special!

It makes me sad how embarrassed women are of their bodies. You should never feel awkward undressing in front of me.  If you are new or I sense any unease, I will keep my back turned away from you while you undress. Many of you would like me to cover your midsection with a towel or sheet, but then I wouldn’t be able to see the area I’m working on. I think all women are beautiful. I will never judge you. Think of me as a doctor who has seen so many lady parts that all I notice is a patch of skin with some unwanted hair on it that needs removing. Brazilians are liberating and empowering, so please embrace your sexy. I know that I do.

Mark & M.E. has 2 wax rooms on the second floor and 2 on the third floor.  Although the rooms are private, you can often hear the sounds of jubilation from the waiting areas. As I was leaving one of the rooms on the 2nd floor, I heard there were two women with Kelly on the 3rd floor. All of of sudden I hear the one girl cheering on her friend. She said “You’re doing great girl!  You’re almost done and the ass don’t hurt at all!” I stood there  laughing and thinking, “what other salon provides such interesting chatter?”

I just heard about a woman who didn’t come to me for her first Brazilian, because she heard I was too aggressive. She went elsewhere.  After 45 minutes, she told them to stop.  She left very sore and unfinished. Although aggressive sounds like a negative word, it is actually a very complimentary term when referring to a wax technician. Do you really want a timid woman between your legs or someone who is confident that she’ll do a kick ass job on you in a reasonable amount of time?

A girl called the salon and asked for an appointment with the pain-free waxer.  I wasn’t sure who she was referring to. She said it was the older lady.  OK, I guess that’s me.  When she came in, she said she really liked when I waxed her.  Well, that’s always nice to hear.  She was a small woman with a normal amount of hair.  She was pretty intolerant of the pain and was making a lot of loud, anguishing noises and jerky movements trying to pull away from me.  At one point, she yelled, “this is just like losing your virginity for the first time!”

Shout out to my illustrator Brian Robbins.  He is doing some kick butt pictures for my next book,
The Happy Trail. We can’t wait to show you!

I’ve been thinking a lot about what my next career is going to be.  Any thoughts?

Sold a copy of each of my books to my first client at 8am who was new to Mark & M.E. What a great way to start my day! #thehappyhooha  #thehappyhenhouse
