Don't forget the nose and ear hair during the new makeover.

Yes. And then put radiant red lipstick on him and take pictures.

Oh, I don't see any lip hair in your pictures.

Ok, who would think I would ever be looking at pictures of another DISers upper lip to see if it really needed commented on or not on a saturday night....

Give me your addy, I will come over with the posse and get him....

OMG! We're evil! There is no man on this planet that would come up with these ideas!

 

[poohandwendy]

Btw, I think he is seeing things...

But you must remember... to some men, 1 inch equals a mile...so he may just not be a very good judge of size, ya know? (just food for thought)

Here's some tweezers for the little worm.

Do you know that you can empty out your DH's shampoo bottle and fill it with Nair and he won't be able to tell the difference. At first.....

Tweezers for the worm!!
Is that in case the brazillian misses a few strands?

I for one would appreciate if my husband told me about my facial hair. The other day I looked in the mirror when the sun was shining on my face at just the right angle. What I saw looking back were a bunch of hairs above my lip, just on one side . I went into work the next day and told my friends what I had found. I told them you would think my husband or friends would tell me about my upper lip hair. They all laughed and said they couldn't see any, that at least my hairs are light. Jeez, how can you not notice whiskers that are a foot long lol. I'm counting on those that love me to tell me instead of letting me walk around like the bearded woman.

Ok, after I stopped laughing (because it is comical), I kind of thought that maybe, he wasn't trying to be insensitive. Sometimes the truth hurts (although I didn't see any hair either). Maybe he thought that you would never even know that it was there unless he mentioned it (kind of like people not knowing that they have bad breath). I guess I just don't agree with the whole "men aren't allowed to say certain stuff to women" way of thinking. But then again, my DH knows better

I have another idea...download information about implants for men...not the hair ones...

and just leave it around for him to wonder why you are researching info on it.

OP, by the time we're done with the Brazilian Bikini wax, the poor man should be in shock. You better have the ambulance standing by to increase his changes of surviving the ordeal

Poor guy, he is at The Olive Garden right now enjoying his dinner and he has no clue that all these crazy women, that he doesn't even know, are planning to "take care of him"!

Hey, I am all for tactful honesty...but "Oh you might want to take care of that hair above your mouth." on the way out the door to dinner, does not qualify under the definition of tact in any way, shape or form.

I agree he should have brought it up, but while i'm getting ready to go out to a nice dinner with just my husband, thats not the time. If someone else was going I might have reacted better, but for me it just completely killed the mood of a nice date night.

A good time would be in the middle of the drug store, by the appropriate products, when I was on my way out shopping, etc.

here are some pictures I just took!

I cann't see any evidence of this being a pressing issue!
Plus yes I know the pictures are of poor quality, its hard to take a pic of yourself.

Okay--now your husband is a butthead.

I cannot see anything...so you must not have more than I do and my husband hasn't told me diddly.

I have gotten it waxed twice about 5 years apart (and man does that make you tear up--worse than eyebrows).

After the second time---the hair seem to grow back more quickly and in higher quantity--so i am done with that.

My husband hasn't commented--I hope he doesn't take tips from your hubby.

Ok, I have a better idea... Tie him to the bed , THEN give him a Brazilian bikini wax!!!

Ding, ding, ding - we have a winner!!!!!!!


But I have a question, how do SONS end up being MEN? Certainly mothers didn't teach/train them to be that way!!

 

[poohandwendy]

Ok, not only that...any man who is going to complain about it needs to just once have their upper lip waxed...OMG, that hurts like a son off a gun....

This whole thread is cracking me up. I'm self-conscious about my looks and would have been absolutely mortified if someone pointed out a flaw...no matter who it was. But most men don't think. I'm sure he didn't realize it would upset you so much.
