More heartland values
Posted by Jill | 9:33 AM

It's not that I enjoy picking on Missouri; I really don't. Some of my favorite film writers are from Missouri. One of Mr. Brilliant's oldest childhood friends lives in Missouri.

But when a state has a couple of nimrods like Blunt père et fils in high-level positions, and when said nimrods insist on being such unbelievable idiots, it's kind of hard not to.

Here, via Waveflux (who posts under the "It's ok to knock your own team" rule) and Feministe, is what Show-me State Governor Matt Blunt regards as a high priority in a state that is elminating Medicaid coverage for its poor:

Tucked within Missouri Senate Bill 280, now awaiting Governor Matt Blunt's signature, is a single sentence that's sure to have repercussions at poolside chaises and in steamy backseats across the state: "The written informed consent of a minor's parent or legal guardian... must be obtained prior to providing body waxing on or near the genitalia."
If Blunt signs the bill -- which he's fully expected to do -- budding bikini-wearers interested in ripping the pubic hair from their nether-regions will have to convince Mom or Dad to sign off.

"That's so a child under the age of eighteen can’t go in and do a complete Brazilian wax without parental consent,” explains Darla Fox, executive director of the Missouri State Board of Cosmetology, which proposed the law.

“Twelve- and thirteen-year-old little girls think they’re eighteen and nineteen in this day and age,” Fox continues. “Sometimes they can become very rebellious, and if they think this is something that their folks can come unglued about, that’s what they’re going to do.”

The hair-removal method, “the barest form of erotic shaving,” gained prominence in the mid-’90s as skimpy thongs made their way into wardrobes. Rather than simply trim the hair escaping from the cloth triangle, women (and men) started paying to have it waxed off. The added bonus is increased sensitivity. And, in a culture where some teens don’t consider oral sex to be sex at all, a good waxing can double the pleasure.

“We use a wax substance specifically made for [Brazilian waxing],” says Chris Duello, marketing director for The Face & The Body, a Clayton day spa that offers the procedure for $60. “It tends to be very sticky. The wax is applied carefully where you want to remove the hair, and then a piece of cloth, usually a muslin, is applied to that, and it’s smoothed in the direction of the hair growth.”

With one stern rip and a few days of healing, the pubic area and butt crack are as fresh as the morning dew and remain so for a couple of months.


Has it ever occurred to anyone that perhaps some girls are maybe a tad more hirsute in the nether quarters than some of their peers and don't want to wear boy-leg swimsuits to cover it up?

God, adults have such dirty minds.
