Part I
I met with another trainer last night and had a much better experience, so far. I’m going to have a posing session with him on Saturday so hopefully it will go well and he can help me for the next few weeks. He says the has a few other girls that he is helping. Keeping my fingers crossed…He has shifty eyes. lol I let him know that he doesn’t need to lie to me and tell me I’m great if I’m not, but at least be encouraging. I also got my DVD last night. It was pretty good. The lady was a teeny bit repetitive but some good pointers- “from a judges standpoint.” (She said that about 700 times!)
Part II
Another note for Saturday…I’m going to get waxed. All of it. Gone. I’m so nervous. Any of you out there have tips on preparing for this? I’ve done the basic bikini and that was painful but bearable. A couple of shots of whiskey perhaps? I’m not looking forward to the process but excited for the outcome. Kind of like pregnancy.
Part III
I ate a few sugar free lifesavers today. I’m not sure if this is why but I can’t go too far from the bathroom. That is the only this I’ve done differently. Past competitors…is this a prepping side effect?

I can’t wait to get the wax job!! My only fear is all of my hair is blonde and you can’t see it so i’m afraid it will grow back black!!! Good luck with yours and the new trainer!! It is getting so close for you!!!

Most sugar free things have sugar alcohols in them. Sugar alcohol tends to give me the nasty smelling toots and sometimes the runs. Check the amt of Sugar alcohol…..a few grams is not bad, but more than 7-8 always does it to me…..grrrrrrrrr!

Take an alieve about 30 min before and you should be ok. A glass of wine helps too they say.
Breathe deeply and try to relax.
Good luck

OUCH!!! I have not had it done, but I’d say definitely some wine before you go. Lori

“I’m not looking forward to the process but excited for the outcome. Kind of like pregnancy.” Hadn’t thought if it that way! Good Luck!!!!!!!

LOL - shot of whiskey was exactly what I was thinking when you asked for pointers. I’ve never done it, but sounds good to me.
Glad you found a better posing coach.

Living in Miami and bikinis year round, I used to get a Brazilian every two weeks. It’s nothing, Martha. I guess it also depends on who’s doing it. Go with someone who uses European wax and not strips. The strips hurt a lot more! Good luck! You’ll love it and never want it any other way. I promise!

yes, you will need some kind of pain medicine-whisky will do…BUT on the other hand, you will be hair free for 4-6 weeks!
