New Jersey Might Outlaw Brazilians

If you live in Jersey and want to get a Brazilian wax in preparation for bikini weather (or a big date), you might soon have to travel to another state to get your hair down there removed. If a proposal is passed by the New Jersey Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling, genital waxing would become explicitly illegal there. Currently, statutes allow for waxing of the face, neck, arms, legs, and abdomen, and officials say that genital waxing has therefore always been illegal but wasn’t spelled out. If full bikini waxes get banned, we suspect the mob will set up a black market for women who insist on going bare. Too bad Tony Soprano isn’t around anymore, because he would take care of the situation—we can’t imagine him standing for Carmela or Gloria going around ungroomed. [Philly.com]

I’ve seen a woman on judge judy suing because of a messed up brazilian, it was the funniest episode ever! I could only imagine if that show was casted in NJ, how much hysterical that would of been.

What would be the reason for making it illegal?

Hahaha my boyfriend’s gonna flip his sh*t. He’s from Jersey and has been begging me to move back there with him. This news will NOT please him, since I get waxed regularly.

Good thing I’ve been practicing DIY. Should this come to fruition, I recommend Surgi.

Vanya, supposedly it is because a couple of women experienced “complications” or something stupid like that, as if we should immediately outlaw any procedure in which someone ever experiences complications. People experience complications from haircuts as well. ZOMG! - maybe they should outlaw those, too. Idiots.
Ironically, if they outlaw it, a lot of women will try this at home using at-home waxing kits, something I’d never recommend someone try as it can often lead to the damage they’re trying to prevent, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s best to leave Brazilians to the true professionals.

@ Alison Wonderland:
I agree on the Surgi! The key is not to heat the wax too much (no more than 1 minute at a time. If it seems too hot, let it cool for a few minutes).
