I saw this title at Tin Can Mailman & couldn't resist. Who doesn't want to be Brazilian sexy?! I am a junky for the beauty & self improvement books, so I was kinda surprised to see a current one I hadn't read. It's written by Janea Padilha, the Brazilian beautician responsible for popularizing the Brazilian wax.
Brazilian allure is all about attitude. It requires laid back self respect. It is marked by self-assured posture. It is the beauty exhibited not as an offering to men or a challenge to women but as an act of love for yourself. The message is simple and accessible & what we all want to hear anyways.
Brazilian glamour is rotted in an easy breezy, patient, love yourself lifestyle. The advice about simple hairstyles, clean soft skin, good food and exercise didn't really have any big surprises in it but it was fun to read anyways. Janae coaches women to stay clean, moisturized and hydrated inside and out. Apply eyeliner. Wax.
Oh, yes, the wax, the Brazilian Wax. So, when Janea was a stylist in Brazil, she was hanging out at the beach and saw a smokin' hot lady in a thong bikini bend over & expose hairiness between the cheeks. Janea worried, "Oh, no! I don't have that do I?!" She checked it out & gave herself the first Brazilian wax in her bathroom that evening. She loved how clean and sexy she felt & got her sisters & clients excited about it. It became a trend in her hometown. When she and six of her sisters moved to NYC to open a salon she gave a Brazilian wax to a writer for Elle magazine and the rest is smooth, hairless history. The Brazilian Wax is beyond grooming. It gives everyday women access to the Brazilian love of sexuality.
Janea encourages women to enjoy sex. She devotes a quarter of the text to interactions with men. It is advised to love and accept your man while training him away from his less attractive faculties.
K, so, you have more fun sex, you look & feel sexy and fun. Makes sense. This book is positive & fun. You can hear the Brazilian Wax Goddess accent bubbling into the conversation sometimes. Janea gives simple Soul Sister advice in an easy evening read. Pending my appointments at J Sisters Salon in Midtown Manhattan I will practice being Brazilian Sexy:
Respect, Wax, Relax!
