Colour me down under
August 16th 2007 01:33
So you’ve just had your hair dyed a fabulous colour, so different from your old drab one that you’re walking home like one of those gals from a Vidal Sassoon ad. Then you get home, strip in front of the mirror and realise the carpet doesn’t quite match the curtains. What do you do? Before, you only had three options :
1.The dreaded Brazilian. Yes, you’re nice and smooth but are the pain and indignity worth it? And is it really safe to be pulling and tearing away at the skin of your nether regions like that? All I’m saying is if your eyelids can sag…
2. Using the dyeing kit as the one you used for your hair. Many women use this, even Marilyn Monroe was caught by her maid doing it. But I’m pretty sure I’ve read a warning label on them, strongly advising not to use the product on any other hair but the top of your head and last I heard, pubic hair is NOT the hair on the top of your head.
3. Turning the light off when you make love. And from the anecdote my uncle drunkenly told me about his wedding night, this practice can be VERY dangerous.
So now along comes the fourth option in Betty Beauty, the first colour product specifically designed for the pubic hair. It was developed by a New Yorker, Nancy Jarecki, while sitting in a Roman hair salon. She noticed women who had just had their hair dyed lingering to wait for a small brown paper bag to be handed to them. If that had been me, I would have run straight out of there but Nancy had the bravado to ask one of the workers about it. She was told it was a home-colouring kit to match the ‘hair down there’ – gotta love the Italians! It took Nancy two years and after many consultations with the toxicologist, the manufacturer and a salon owner, Betty Beauty was released.
Betty Beauty currently comes in six colours - BLONDEBetty, AUBURNBetty, BROWNBetty, BLACKBetty, FUNBetty Hot Pink and STARBURSTBetty Orange. Some of you are probably going, "But what about red?" Apparently, AUBURNBetty covers that.
Out of all these, the FUNBetty and the STARBURSTBetty are the ones I’m most interested in. At the moment, FUNBetty only comes in Hot Pink but I read that more funky, bright colours will be coming out soon. STARBURSTBetty is if you want to ‘glow’ down below – the ad says ‘Looking for a little sunshine? STARBURSTBetty will brighten your day!’
Just imagine, when the Betty Beauty collection grows to introduce more colours, the streakers of the world can colour their pubic hair after their favourite teams or nationality. I can't wait to see someone running around with the colours of the Australian flag on their crotch - or can I?
Betty Beauty products are retailing each for AUD$35 from www.intimateproducts.com.au or US$19.99 from www.bettybeauty.com
So, which Betty are you?
P.S. Special thanks to D.Armenta for the tip!

katyzzz......how embarrassing and does it really matter. I'm all for fidelity not variety in partners and who the hell cares what colour it is and I find certain other practices obscene.
I'm running away to find a wowsers web community, no, not the Mormons, perhaps the Quakers, maybe the Catholics, but they're certainly not wowsers, ah, where are my friends the Baptists, perhaps Muslim women, I think I'd give the men a miss, I like men who respect a lady.
They do, they do, they just cover them up. I notice Ahmed airs his views on Christians often enough, thought I'd have a go.
Sorry, Aimz, just not into all these substances, you know how it is.
When is Society going to get it all together, not in my time, I reckon, but it never has really.
katyzzz ...again. Oh katyzzz all I did was ask a simple question. Sorry, Aimz.

I agree with you Aimzster, the rainbow colours sound like a bit of fun for a laugh and a change if you're in the mood for it!
Cheers

Chic, how about shaping your hair into a heart and colouring it Hot Pink for Valentine's Day?

I suggest asking your stylist if you're friends with him or her..mine offered to get one for me at cost (U.S.$5.99) but I'm holding out for the purple sparkle (coming this winter).....

Hi Tracy, I have taken off Brazilian from my list of things to do before I die. Who wants to look like an eleven year old anyway?

Lara, I've taken off Brazilian off my list of things to do. Maybe I should replace it with this one instead.

I applaud Betty Beauty for encouraging women not to get Brazilians. I hope it catches on! I for one (as mentioned before) have no interest in looking like a baby down there. Eeyew. That's just creepy.
