I would have preferred it if you had said because it's morally despicable, depraved, or abominable rather than just "it's illegal". Actually, this kid looks like she needs some lipo, too, or she'll never get to sing at the next Olympics. johzephine.

I would get a Brazilian in a heart beat if the wife wanted me to, but since I haven't seen hers in a few years, I will protest for now. :) Brazilian Rocks! donna, I'm sure your lap looks like you are petting the neighbors cat, and keep if it makes you happy.

The poor kid had legs hairier then most men. Imagine being eight and having that much body hair, you can just guess the names the kids called her. In extreme cases, I couldn't blame parents for seeking this kind of treatment. But I also strongly doubt that more than 2% of these kids are like the girl above. But, Mel have you spoken with anyone who does perform waxing for a living? A lot of men get Brazilian waxes, and it's not exactly a medieval deal. After the first time it's not painful. And women don't always do it to please their lovers. Personally, I prefer a Brazilian to anything else, and I really don't care what my husband thinks.

Boob jobs, waxing, plastic surgery and eating disorders are all symptoms of our low self-esteem. Now we see kids getting waxing and undergoing insane TV diets in order to feel accepted. Jimbo, I wish men had Brazilian Waxing once in a while... so that they could understand how medieval it is. Really, people, it's insane. I sometimes wonder how women ended up accepting such painful procedures in order to please their lovers. On the other hand, maybe it was women who gave them the idea of demanding waxing. It's ridiculously sad, either way. Arty, I feel just like you.

Young girls shouldn't be giving it away for free like their mothers did. When they become adult is a different story. Hairless is ALWAYS better! 90% men prefer it is why the trend is going on.

While we decry the people who exhibit this behavior, we should be looking at the root cause of this issue. Self-esteem and self-image are undoubtedly important aspects of anyone's life. Unfortunately we live in a society where surface appearance matters. Pretty == Successful and Happy. How many stories have we heard of people scarred for life because of some stray comment by a relative or classmate? Perhaps instead of saying 'shame shame' we should be teaching everyone(adults and children) to 'accept accept'. Moodindigo brings a disturbingly valid point.
