The May 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan is the "sexy" issue, much like every other issue every year. But there's a twist: This issue comes with guidelines for giving yourself a Brazilian wax… And four stencils for your pubic hair.
Last week, our Beauty 101 series focused on the hair that sits atop one's head. This week, we're going to concentrate on reader concerns about the hair that grows, well, pretty much everywhere else:
DC beauty salon D'Brows has decided to capitalize on the controversy surrounding Erykah Badu's latest video by suggesting that Badu's confidence comes from "a good waxing." The press release even nonsensically claims she "read this" before shooting the video. [TheSexist]

In case you needed a reminder that beauty means getting your pubic hair ripped off by a stranger, a Bucharest agency has created this charming ad, which allows you to tear off individual hairs — and get their number. [CopyRanter]
Bliss Spa is hiring people in gorilla suits to roam the streets of New York handing out coupons for waxing to promote hair-removal services. The slogan: "We're wild about hair removal." Our slogan: obsession with hairlessness is out of control.

The economy may be in the crapper, but Americans know what's really important: Looking good! Science Daily reports that plastic surgery procedures will quadruple by the year 2015. They're predicting that cosmetic surgery will weather the current decline, and that in 7 years, 55 million surgeries will be performed…
With summer already here, some of us are heading for a change in pubic hair maintenance procedures, bringing on yet another existential crisis — do we do it for men, for ourselves or, like so much other fashion, for other women? I survey the other Jezebel editors, my (straight) guy friends unlucky enough to be logged…
It's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the advice column in which everyone's problems are solved with an "herbal" remedy. (Remember, kids: Don't do drugs!)

She's 176 lbs. and she just might become the next Miss England. 17-year old Chloe Marshall says she entered the world of pageants to teach people that "big is beautiful." Surely with her winning smile and an attitude that's as gorgeous as her body, she'll go far. And if she doesn't? Well, Chloe says she'd love to…
Mary J. Blige was on Tyra today promoting her new album Growing Pains, and she was very candid.

The celebrity blogosphere has itself in a tizzy over little Lourdes Ciccone Leon's eyebrows, photographed in closeup at an event last night in London.

In today's 'are you friggin' serious?' news, the improbably-named Cindy Barshop, Paris Hilton's bikini waxer radios in to Us Magazine from Damage Control Central.
