Nearly all of our podcasts are available as MP3s on this page: http://theantiroom.com/podcasts/antiroom.xml The latest podcast's also available to stream or download on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/anti-room Hope that works! If not, I'm afraid it might be a weird techy glitch at your end. Hi Gráinne,

]]> Comment on Waxing for 8 Year Old American Girls by Niki http://www.theantiroom.com/2010/09/07/virgin-waxing-for-8-year-old-american-girls/#comment-30687 Niki Sat, 09 Mar 2013 21:06:00 +0000 http://theantiroom.wordpress.com/?p=3284#comment-30687 I'm the mother of a 10 year old girl who is going through puberty. She has steadily darkening armpit hair and some pubic hair. She's always had hairy legs and has started growing some darker hair on her upper lip. She's very pale skinned but has dark hair on her head and body. My daughter also does ballet and has to wear a strappy leotard, or costumes onstage like tutus. She doesn't want to be the only girl on the stage with hairy armpits distracting from the lovely dancing. We've not done anything about this yet - but I think we might try a wax.

If you're the type who's always on someone's bumper, and when approaching a red light you slow down quickly at the last minute, and take off quickly again, only to get to the next light before it turns green and have to stop again instead of coasting through, you're burning FAR more gas than you need to, and guess what? You're not getting there any faster. Yes, driving more sanely is the single largest thing you can do to increase gas mileage.
