The company says the offer is for any kind of waxing legs, lip, etc not just bikini/brazilian waxes. But the picture in the ad shows a young girl in a bikini. This of course has caused a firestorm. It feels kind of creepy. What do you think?

If there is grass on the field, GAME ON!

Have we become so removed from the days when 15 year olds were pumping out kids? Who doesn't have the right to get rid of that unruly, unwanted hair that pokes out from behind the bikini? We have some moms who are dressing their little sluts......errrrrrrrr, girls like hookers with heels, fake eyelashes and makeup for pageants, so why should a little grooming be a bad thing? Now if this were plastered on the side of a van, parked next to the local Jr. High, then yes, I might have a problem with it. As it is, it is just a legit business trying to attract a new group of customers.

At first glance it does seem like another overt attempt to sexualize young girls, but seriously:



The company requires parental consent to any minor who comes in for a pubic wax.



Assuming that (a) the waxer is female, the girl and her parents are comfortable with the person doing the waxing, the girl's parents are okay with her getting said wax, and the girl dows not want visible thighbrows while wearing her swimsuit...is there really an issue here?



I would think if anything having thighbrows would be *more* sexualizing since it would draw eyes to her crotch (at least nowadays where the trend is less visible body hair for women and men--whether you agree with it or not) rather than the base-level sexualization of just her in a bikini.
