Wax Tales

Prepare to cringe: A 31-year-old woman in Brisbane, Australia says that she contracted peeling burns in her "intimate areas" after a disastrous Brazilian bikini wax. The aesthetician who allegedly botched the waxing session had to be prompted to close the blinds and asked the customer how to do the wax when the customer complained that she was burning her. Uh, woman to woman: if you are unfamiliar with something that involves you putting anything hot (and painful) near a vagina, you should just not do it. Like, ever. [News.com.au]

Pleasure & Pain

Here in New York City, a man has filed a suit in Manhattan Supreme Court against a strip club after an employee allegedly poked him in the eye with her high heel during a lap dance. Stephen Chang claims he "sustained serious personal injuries" in November when the stripper "suddenly swung around, striking [him] in the eye with the heel of her shoe." The manager, identified as Lou, says: "We didn't have any reported accidents. We have a first-aid kit, and we would have treated the guy or called an ambulance." Chang might actually be hurt — and embarrassed— but you know what Lou could have said? "Hey, consider yourself lucky — some places charge extra for that." [NY Daily News]

According to the New York Daily News, President Teddy Roosevelt's novelist granddaughter, Theodora Keogh, died recently in North Carolina at the age of 88. Her obituary in a UK paper notes: "After [her second husband, a tugboat captain] left her, she lived at [New York's] Chelsea Hotel, where she kept a margay (a South American wild cat) for company. One night, after she had drunk too much and fallen asleep, it chewed off one of her ears." You gotta love the crazy cat ladies! [Gatecrasher]

Faking It To Make It

Goth was all dark and bloody, but post-Goth? That would be Kegadoru, or "injured idol," a new Tokyo fetish-fashion craze. Girls wrap their heads and bodies in bandages — and eyepatches — for that "damaged doll" look some guys apparently love. (Guys who liked the torture porn film Hostel, perhaps?) White bandages are for "virginal grace" while black ones mean "wickedness." Look for Gwen Stefani in a full body cast any day now. [BoingBoing]

A Florida woman decided that the best way...

A Florida woman decided that the best way to keep her 13-year-old daughter from fooling around with boys was to forcibly pierce her genitalia, so as to make sex uncomfortable. She also shaved the girl's head in an attempt to make her less attractive. Child welfare officials were called in to intervene after the piercing became infected. The mom is currently standing trial for two counts of aggravated child abuse. She claims it was a last ditch effort to control her rebellious daughter who had sex with the mom's boyfriend. Why the hell didn't she stab his genitals with a sharp object for fucking her little girl? [MSNBC]
