Pit Party!!

Lisa ready to tear it UP!

A few weeks ago Carmela told me she was ready to wax her armpit hair!  I was fired-up!  It was a mother/daughter moment I had been hoping for since she started growing mature hair two years ago.  Because my pits were also a mess, we called up Aunt Lisa and begged for help.  She was as jazzed as I was.  We rolled into her salon with the whole family (SoJo and Caleb as witnesses) and got busy.  I went first to show Carmela how awesome it is to slather hot wax in your pits and then rip it off with all the hair.  

My first arm went great, and the second pit was hysterical.  Since I can't lift my left arm, Adam was implored and gladly volunteered to help.  He held up the appendage as high as it could go - about 70 degrees; Lisa crawled under and slapped the wax up in there, then came around my head and ripped as I protected my atrophy with my right arm, and Adam guarded his privates.  I wish I had a video.  We were like Circ du Soleil, and with bit of contortion on Lisa's part, and the hair was out. 

So fresh and clean!

Next it was Carmela's turn.  I was electrified to photo document our hairy pits together, and she refused.  I was thrilled to be in the room with her and hold her hand, and she refused.

She thought I was nuts!  She kicked us all out and had her moment with Aunty Lisa.  Twenty minutes later she emerged with the freshest pits she has had in years, and she let me take a picture to prove it!  THANK YOU LISA!!  

Maybe we shouldn't have had SoJo as a witness.  We completely freaked her out.  She already plans to use a razor when the time comes, and I'll be happy to help her learn how to do that too.
