Pain threshold update
Last April I posted about my concerns about childbirth given my puny ability to tolerate pain or even mild discomfort. Today I went and had my eyebrows threaded for the first time in a very long time (I had plucked in the interim, they weren't overgrown like an elderly gent). OWx1000000. yikes. Tears were streaming down my cheeks and the nice threading lady (threadist?) had to give me a tissue & apologise for the pain. I wanted to shout 'I GAVE BIRTH ONLY USING GAS&AIR' to prove that I am not a total wuss but somehow that seemed TMI and inappropriate. The pain of childbirth is often rationalised by focusing on the wonderful end result... somehow focusing on neat eyebrows was not enough to mitigate my suffering.
The brow bar seems to have expanded its repertoire since I was last there - they now do a range of facial hair removal (eyebrows, sideburns, lip, chin etc etc - can't wait for the menopause!) and also the intriguingly named bollywood bikini wax. I want to know what this is but ph34r googling it. I hope they take you to a private room for this rather than spreadeagling you on the dentist styley chairs in Fenwicks' beauty hall.
