New Jersey Officials Want To Ban Brazilian Waxing

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-bare-necessities dept.

You'll be able to tell if the curtains match the drapes from every conceivable angle, if the New Jersey state's Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling has their way. The board has recently proposed a ban on genital waxing. Salon owner Linda Orsuto said that women would "go ballistic" if the proposal passed. She says that some women would resort to waxing themselves, visiting unlicensed salons, or go to other states, including Pennsylvania, in a quest to remain bare down there. It's only a matter of time before the Pennsylvania Tourism Board rolls out their "Dare to be Bare!" bumper stickers.

    I like the pussy to be hairy. Trimmed, yes. Removed completely? No. Ladies, stop doing that. At stop with the fake titties too. Leave them small and natural.

      If a girl is going to wear a bikini, then I prefer to see the pubic hair hanging out.

      Are you trying to insult me? You can't do any worse than the woman who caught me outside her window last night. She could fucking demolish you.

    This is a massive and ridiculous invasion of privacy by the State of NJ. I cannot imagine in any way the government having the right to ban what a person does to their body, especially about something as trivial as a bikini wax.

    This is exactly why we have limits on Government. I personally think the trend to bald beavers rather repulsive but so what? Who really cares? Why do government official feels they have to get involved in the most trivial details of peoples lives? bah!

    A neat trim is probably best. Not all ladies have shapely enough pussies to go bald, as you'll soon realize on nudist beaches.
