SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian woman has ripped her way into the record books by giving bikini waxes to 130 people in four hours without apparent mishap.
Lareesa Guttery, a beauty therapist in the western city of Perth, claimed her new record Saturday when she almost doubled British woman Deanne Ware's two-year-old mark of 77 waxes.
She said her only problem had been a lack of willing volunteers.
"We had to go out into the mall and persuade people to come in and get waxed," Guttery told Australian Associated Press.
Six of her teary-eyed subjects were men.
"A couple of the women were in a bit of pain after the procedure, but there were no real mishaps, thankfully," she said.
"I think I could do 200...if we can get the volunteers."
Guttery was not at work Monday and unavailable for further comment.
Her record bid was witnessed by two qualified beauty therapists, whose job it was to make sure the waxes were completed properly. The record will be formally lodged with the Guinness Book of Records later Monday.
