Please no. blues

Grooming is good with having nice hands and feet but puleeze no waxing chests. Not half as nice for cuddling. moping

galrads: Curious, do any of the men on CS have their nails painted when they get a mani or pedi? I get trimmed up about very two weeks at a nail salon and sometimes have them apply a clear polish after a mani.

Several nail techs are suggesting men have flat black applied after a pedi. Any thoughts on this stuff?



I think this shows great confidence ....... handshake

But expecting to do some fingering on the first date is just a little too premature and presumptuous.

galrads: There is a lot to respond to in your post.. regarding trashing our planet for oil production, beauty industry petroleum based products are just a milli micro fraction of oil production.

When I think of the medical benefits derived from petroleum fractions, I have to wonder sometimes, how we ever did without and what we would do if we had to do without them (disposable syringes, catheters, blood bags, artificial joints etc, a lot of hand sanitizers are mostly petrochemicals.) And what would I substitute for my toothbrush?

Regarding nail paint as not being artistic as other considered art... Well, art is always subjective.

Regarding mobility, I've always believed women have greater mobility in mini-skirts than they do in pants.

It's not just about petroleum products, it's about painting yourself with carcinogens, as well.

And if petroleum products are that valuable for medicine, why are we wasting unsustainablle resources on inane things?

I bet toothbrushes could be made out of recycled plastics. That would be good, eh?

Well, I'm certainly no expert on this stuff but I believe nail paint/polish can even be shared without fear of microorganisms contaminating things because the base solvent in the paint/polish kills them. I think nails are less permeable than skin and some medical practices today will even use certain solvents to help deliver medications deeper than topical applications on skin can, alone, by themselves.

And yes, I could use a toothbrush made safely from recycled plastic... I'd like to see more people recycle stuff but I think they shouldn't be penalized, like in some U.S. cities, if they don't. I have a 55 gallon recycle container at home that usually fills and is wheeled to the curb about once a month.

We're supposed to be very scared of micro-organisms, aren't we?

I had a pedicure once.
They need to use bolt cutters.
I don't want to talk about it.

wow yes, dose rate contributes to different levels of toxicity for sure. U.S.EPA, however, has a habit of arbitrarily increasings health standards to perpetuate its own self worth.

It's interesting for me to see a reference to toluene here. One of my first jobs at EPA was to help certify people in the Method 9 art of being certified smoke stack readers.

We used a weird U.S.EPA designed mobile machine having a 30 foot stack with a lower burning chamber where we incompletely burned toluene to generate white smoke in varying degrees of opacity; diesel fuel was incompletely combusted to generate different degrees of black smoke. We spent days handling and breathing that junk, several times a year, and no one cared.
