EMLA!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Pandy, pass the EMLA, honey! (what the HELL is an extended extended

extended bikini wax???? I am frightened to know! LOL!)

Actually I was pretty much " finished " with electrolysis when the EMLA made

the scene, so I never tried it. Had heard it is a very good product. I will

not hesitate to get it from my dermo if and when I work up the balls to finish

off the few hairs I still got croppin' up under my nose & on my chin (well

right now, two chins LMAO! okay okay okay a chin and a half). You know,

menopause and perimenopause can do strange things to a girl's hormone bath.

Let me tell you the crazy things we girls will do to attain " beauty " . When

I was doing the electrolysis, the upper lip was so excruciating that I

couldn't tolerate more than maybe 10 - 15 minutes work on it at one time, TOPS.

And

I couldn't take too much current. Now, electrolysis is a process that

requires some investment in pain, in order to get results. So, what I did,

and

this has precedent in the wonderful world of hair removal, is I got a dentist

or two to shoot up my upper mouth area with mega doses of novocaine, which in

turn numbed up half my friggin' face, so that I could comfortably lay on that

torture table and have the electrolygist work on me for a straight hour or hour

and a half, at as high a current as it was dermotalogically safe to go. I

was SO numb you could have smacked me in the kisser with a 2 x 4 and I wouldn't

have felt a thing ... SERIOUSLY! I would have just spit out my bloody teeth

and smiled my numb dopey toothless grin -- WHEN I was able to move my cheek

muscles, that is.

I was lucky in that I found a couple of dentists who were accomodating, but

there was one guy who acted like I was asking him to perform a back-alley

abortion on me, I am NOT kidding! I can still recall how " small " he made this

MO

girl feel at the time. What an asshole! Normally, I am not at a loss for

words, but I was reduced to just crawling embarrassedly out of his office

with my hairy tail between my legs. I could have kicked myself later when I

thought that I should have said to him: " Hey stupid, you're confusing which

body cavity I'm asking you to numb! " His wife must have been such a lucky

lady

LMAO!

Oh such cherished memories (::vomit:
