We've discussed the bikini waxing of 8-year-old girls before, but some of the stomach-turning details in this story on MSNBC cannot be missed: One salon in NYC boasts that children 8 years and older can get discounted waxing for "virgin" hair: "Virgin hair can be waxed so successfully that growth can be permanently stopped in just 2 to 6 sessions. Save your child a lifetime of waxing... and put the money in the bank for her college education instead!" But then there's Wanda Ramos, who let her daughter, Gabriella, get waxed because kids at school made fun of her unibrow. "It made a big difference," Ramos says. "She feels more confident and other kids don’t make fun of her anymore — she gets compliments on how she looks now." Self-assurance is great, but isn't all of it putting focus on the wrong things?

There's a pretty cute interview on NPR with Los Angeles-based wax technician/comedian Elham Jazab about how the economic downturn is affecting her business. Even the plucked and botoxed Angelinos are forgoing the beauty treatments these days and "People aren't tipping as much," Jazab told NPR. NPR also notes that "74% of cosmetologists report lower spending on services, and over 60% report a reduction in tips from a year ago." How is the beauty of your exceptionally unwashed Jezebels faring amidst this monetary maelstrom? I'm sure you're very concerned about our unwanted body hair. More »

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 annually. "While today's economy reflects a slow-down in plastic surgery procedures, the specialty will weather the current decline in economic growth just as it has previous declines, such as the stock market correction after the 2001 Internet bubble," says American Society Of Plastic Surgeons prez Dr. Richard D'Amico. "This prediction for 2015 is exciting." Definitely! Americans already spend $13.2 billion, more than the GDP of Bolivia, on cosmetic surgery, so quadrupling that number to $52.8 means more cash for doctors. Eh, you're thinking, I'm not shallow like that, I've got priorities. Guess what? More »

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 on when it occurred to me to ask and put in a plug for an ex with a preference and a steady hand after the jump.

Mary J. Blige was on Tyra today promoting her new album Growing Pains, and she was very candid. The Queen of Hip Hop Soul really opened up when she admitted to having sex on a commercial airline flight. She also says she's bloated and bitchy from PMS for three weeks out of the month, which would mean that she's only normal for one week during her cycle. When Tyra asked her what she waxes on her body, she said she can only really stand to have her eyebrows done, so she uses Veet to take care of her hair down there. Clip above. More »

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. DListed applauds Lourdes's Mama Madonna for "not allowing Lourdes to cover herself up in makeup and look like a cheap hooker like other girls her age," while the Evil Beet thinks that Lourdes really needs to tweeze, and, as expected, Perez is a dick about it, asking "What's worse? For a woman to have a unibrow or hair on her lip?" But seeing Lourdes's big, beautiful brows made us wonder — what's the appropriate age for a girl to begin grooming her body hair? More »
