Ok, here's a "fun" topic - waxing!

I get my eyebrows waxed every couple of months, and the time before last, the lady fininshed up and then asked "lip, too?" I think I looked startled, and she explained that I seemed to be lingering in the chair and so she thought there was something else I wanted. Still, it didn't stop me from going home and peering into the mirror to see if my moustache was becoming more noticeable with age



The verdict? Well, I did see one or two little hairs that looked a teeny bit darker than the others, so I plucked them. But they could have been there forever for all I know - I rarely look that closely.

Anyway, I forgot all about it, but then the next time I went, it was to a different place with a different lady and she asked me the same question! "Lip, too?"

Ack! Now that I've heard it in two places, I see fuzz every time I look in the mirror. Darn those ladies for putting lip hair on my mind!

So, here's my question: Do any of you wax your lip? And if so, how does it grow back in? Is it slow and hardly noticeable? Or do you need to have it done every couple of weeks for "maintenance"? Would I be able to get away with doing it once every 3 or 4 months when I have a special occasion coming up, or would it grow back in stuch a way as to be obvious and icky in-between?

It's not like I have a Tom Selleck stache or anything - I kind of see it in the same way I see my eyebrows: they look ok left alone but look better waxed, and I'd like to be able to "clean up" for special occasion and then let it go for several months without looking like some kind of freak...

Am I over-thinking this?

Lisa
