4 sleeps till we Sparkle

So with Sparkle fast approaching, time to tackle the fuzz on my legs. As I have said before I don't usually shave my legs, one because my wife hates it when they are stubbly, and two because I am bad at thinking up excuses to explain them to others.

I tend to use Veet (the-stuff-formerly-known-as-immac) cream - this year they have brought out a new version of it so I thought I would give it a go.

Kind of a little confused by the instructions - they say "Designed for legs, underarms, bikini line and can be used anywhere, but not on the face, scalp, breast, perianal and genital areas or on any other body part" So that doesn't really leave a lot of choice ..... so what exactly do they mean by "can be used anywhere"? Can I use it on top of the number 47 bus? Or maybe down a coal mine perhaps?

Usually there used to be a plastic scraper that used to really hurt sometimes - especially scraping the bony bits of my legs. This new version has a nice softer scraper that looks like a razor.... worked kinda well.

So here is the before shot:

Slapping on the cream, doing my best not to get it everywhere:

Of course, they always say "scrape it off after 3 mins... do not leave it on for any longer"... so how exactly do I get it off my entire leg instantaneously? Always a worry....

And here is the after shot.. with my other leg to compare. Don't panic, I did do the other leg as well... I don't think that one hairy one smooth look will really catch on on the streets...

And finally - the end result with a pair of tights and a nice pair of shoes (which may or may not be coming up to Manchester with me)

I sorta managed to narrow down what I am going to wear for Sparkle.. Well, if "narrow down" means to take a large pile of clothes, turn it into two smaller piles of clothes, and discard one pile. The outfits I want are in that pile.... but it is still far too many clothes to take.... Going to have another go on Thursday I think.
