Beauty that Hurts! Ouch

A friend of mine recently emailed a hilarious true story of a woman who had a rather unfortunate accident while waxing her bikini line. Her leg was propped up on the loo, while she carefully applied the wax and strip but when she removed the strip, the wax was nowhere to be seen. Some how it had slid down past her bikini line. It had also dried.
Her, what does Ali G call it- punani? was sealed shut, as was her rear exit!
A frantic phone call to her best friend (who recommended she call the fire brigade) and several 'hair raising' removal attempts later she eventually freed herself.
Anyway this reminded me of a rather unfortunate incident that happened to me.
I sat down on my bed and felt a 'prickly' sensation on my bare bottom. I was getting ready to go out, so was naked. I thought I'd sat on my hairbrush so didn't immediately get up, but then the prickle became a burning and I realized I had in fact sat on my very hot curling tongs! I had a 4inch brand on my butt!
So, I do what any sensible person does in this situation, and I get a bowl of cold water to sit in. Just as I do this I hear a car pull up outside. I look out the window and see my flat mate arriving with her student friends. I had just about enough time to get dressed when they walked in.
I was too embarrassed to say I'd burned my bum and needed immediate emergency medical attention, so I suffered through their entire visit. When they went and for several weeks afterwards my flat mate had to assist in giving me a progress report on my burned bum, as I could not see it myself!
Life!

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)CB, despite the pain you obviously went through (burns are one of the most painful of injuries) I found myself laughing, unfortunately, at your expense. I can only imagine you suffering through the visitation of your flatmate's friends while your injury throbbed unmercifully. I doubt you sat down the whole time! I hope you healed well. You give a whole new meaning to "hot buns!" (Sorry, couldn't resist!!!) Keep up the entertaining articles.lol, thanks James, I also laugh when I am reminded of this event, but that day was not the worst part, the worst was having to bend over so my pal (who also had to bend down) could examine my wounds progress!
Oh, gee, CB, I can't resist: BETTER YOU THAN ME!!! (smile) Fun, light article!thanks Judi :)
