In preparation for my trip out west, I found myself doing things I’d never done before. I didn’t think I could get any gayer…
Got my haircut as usual, then I went over to the ghetto nail shop so they could “hook up” my dogs. This was my first pedicure. Luckily, no other customers were there (I guess because it wasn’t the first of the month) so no one could witness my formal initiation into getting my feet did.
I officially love getting pedicures! You talking ’bout something felt good? Lawdamercy! Those jets in the water getting me all relaxed and stuff… Then Ming Li got to sandblasting the 15.5 layers of dead skin off my feet, it was wonderful. Then she massaged them and cut my talons down and in the end I realized what people have been telling me all along: I got some cute-ass feet!
Somehow in the midst of this she convinced me to do something with my eyebrows. “Real thick at top!”
So I’m sitting there thinking, Do I really wanna go there today?
Then Ming Li said the magic words: “Manicure, pedicure, eyebrow, get discount!”
“Umm, okay. Sure, sweetie, have at it.”
For some reason it didn’t occur to me that she’d be waxing them. I just agreed because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. For those of you that don’t know, getting your eyebrows waxed is no joke. Get ready for a surprise!So she showed me the mirror–”See? Look better!”– and I realized what people have been telling me all along: I got face! I mean that, coupled with my fresh haircut, made me look like a new nOva. She did me a big favor because I have bushy eyebrows. Thankfully, she didn’t go overboard so I don’t look like a drag queen. My response to her was, “Yes it looks nice, but it hurts like Hell.”
“Ah haha. Hurt!” Yeah. Ha. Ha. Bitch.
As I write this, there’s still more refabulization I need to do. There’s some bodyhair that needs to be removed and my 5-step facial process. I mean, I was already East Coast cute, but I cannot go west looking common. I am fully packed and ret tuh go. My plane leaves in less than twelve hours.
See ya on the other side….
I’m gonna soak up the sun
While it’s still free
I’m gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don’t have no master suite
I’m still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I’m the one who has the key

I get mine sandblasted tomorrow too! Oh, the anticipation!
You are not playing about this trip to Cali!
See I been trynna tell you to come on out and get your pedicure. Now you got a whole new set of feet. Ain’t it grand?? And yes, they eyebrow waxing is NO JOKE. I swear, when I go, Kung Pow barely leaves my face.
Have fun in Cali. You’ll definitely get to see more of it than I did. (Ref: my gangxsta back pack ~SunRay~ almost got arrested trip)
pedi(cure)’s are a man’s best freind! i got my first one a week ago. thanks to Miss Tina! ok, what is this trip REALLY for? you getting all REFABed for the “west coast”. ummhmm.
you’d betta call me.
I’m a fan of bushy eyebrows (as long as there are two of them) so I’m upset. If I suspect correctly about the area where you’re removing body hair, you should give yourself at least 24 hours before putting any friction there.
have a good weekend, hope u enjoy urself!!!
have a safe and enjoyable trip to cali. you got me rotflmao @ 15.5 layers of dead skin, i am going to get me a pedicure saturday that dead skin aint’ no joke in the weather.

Oh, nothing in particular.
This weekend was not half bad. And yeah, to some of y’all the weekend may just be half over, but for me, it starts on Friday and ends on Saturday (because on Sunday, all you can think about is what you have to do on Monday anyway). I started…
