Do Your Heroines Wax?
Inquiring Minds Want to Know…
SmokinghotBooks has a hilarious, laugh out loud, post on waxing - reading it actually brought tears to my eyes - tears of amusement and memories of a shared painful experience. You can read it for yourself! http://smokinhotbooks.com/blog/
Do your heroines wax? I have to say I avoid the subject altogether in my books. I guess I let the reader be the judge. I assume Mari in Captured does not as she’s trapped on an alien world. I’m betting Eva does - as part of her makeover for a night out with Gabe - in Beauty and the Feast. Grace in My Everything? Probably not as she’s a pretty pragmatic woman and she’s still in mourning but…you never know! Devlin Barre in Anytime Darlin’? No friggin’ way - she’s a farm girl, but I know for sure she shaves her pits and her legs!
The heroines of Daughters of Persephone? Seven hells no! They have other things on their minds, you know, little, insignificant things like saving the human race! Lira in my WIP? Oh yeah, she’s a princess, the heir to the throne of Zhinshu. Of course she waxes!
Waxing involves a willingness to submit yourself to torture. No kidding. All in the name of femalescaping, as opposed to manscaping which I am opposed to unless the man has hair sprouting from every single follicle on his entire body. As I commented on the above post - my esthetician does torture me, but she does it in a good way. I tell myself to think of the results…think of the results…think of the results.
Somebody who shall remain nameless, reports that waxing exposes certain soft and appealing curves in places on a woman’s body that normally lack for male attention. I kind of enjoy that gently descriptive opinion on the issue.
What’s your take?
