<embarrassed cough> Brazilians!

[UvaGirl]

Okay, this is a slightly weird (and personal) topic, so it it ends up in the Parking Lot, then so be it. But I'm genuinely curious. As I said in my threading post, I've just been to the spa to get my brows done. The same spa offers heaps of different things - the usual massages, facials, waxing, etc - including brazilian waxing. Now, this is pretty new to NZ - not a lot of places offer it. Of course I've read all the articles about how it changed Gwyneth's life, yadda, yadda, but no-one I know has had it done. Anyone know anyone who has? (and feel like sharing?) I'm intrigued, but the thought of the actual practicalities horrifies me. First, it sounds pretty painful. and second, it sounds pretty embarrasing. Does it take ages? Or is it quick? Will I pass out from the pain? Will the therapist look strangely at me if I take out a hipflask part way though and start drinking heavily?
