Laser hair removal

Musings | Wednesday, 22 August 2007

Epilation performed by laser was performed experimentally for about 20 years before it became commercially available in the mid 1990’s. Laser and light-based methods are sometimes called phototricholysis or photoepilation.

In addition to lasers, some light-based epilators use a xenon flashlamp which emits full-spectrum intense pulsed light (IPL) . Treatment with this device is sometimes popularly referred to as laser hair removal, though the device is not a laser per se.

I love it smooth, real smooth

Beauty, Girls, Guys | Wednesday, 22 August 2007

Ok, I hate body hair and freely admit to preferring my girls and guys smooth (and oiled!). If you’ve not seen this product or tested the results on somebody who has one then get going now. They are perfect as gifts as well.

…at the Bird Motel. Quirky name and a fantastic online store just for “chicks” (yes, I know, very lame!). The site features clothing and accessories from emerging Australian beach, surf and street wear labels such as Milk & Honey, One Teaspoon, Mermaid Sister, Tigerlily, GRAB and Nookie. A highlight of the site is the Shop-a-log, which is a custom built interactive online catalog from which visitors can buy anything featured. A must visit.

“Clothing and accessories by One Teaspoon, Milk and Honey, Mermaid Sister, Nookie, Grab, Candy from Strangers, Madam Muck and Hawaiian Island.

Every item on birdmotel is hand-selected for its versatility and wearability: look for the best in cheeky swimwear, laid-back street separates and sundresses. Then add, a fun collection of top quality vintage 70s clothing and accessories.

The driving idea behind birdmotel.com is to offer a well-edited range of the very best items from each label. So that means no more trawling through rack-upon-rack of clothing at your local surf store.”

The reawakening of dresses

Musings | Wednesday, 22 August 2007

Many things changed with the arrival of the liberation movement by women. One of these changes dealt with the wearing of dresses and skirts. Women rebelled the wearing of skirts and dresses and the binding undergarments that accompanied them, as they found them to be terribly restrictive of being able to breathe. Skirts and dresses of this day and time are completely different from the styles worn back then, although the undergarments are still available today, however, wearing them is more of a choice than a requirement. It is for this reason perhaps that skirts and dresses are beginning their reawakening in the world of fashion today.

How the bra has evolved from hidden utility item to mainstream fashion statement

Musings | Wednesday, 22 August 2007

Remember when all bras looked and felt the same and you hardly had any different choices? You would buy one, maybe two and only replace them when they were virtually falling apart. Now all that has changed and you can find such a diverse array of choices that it can boggle the mind. I know I go shopping with my wife and we go into Victoria’s Secret, (yes I am comfortable in my manhood), I am amazed by the all of the different styles and colors available. I would never attempt to buy her a bra even though I will buy other lingerie for her.
