"Va-whating?" you ask. Good question, we answer. Turns out, "Vajazzling" is the latest beauty trend to sweep women’s nether regions. In January, Jennifer Love Hewitt went on Lopez Tonight and let George Lopez -- and America -- know that: "After a breakup, a friend of mine Swarovski-crystalled my, um, ‘precious lady,’ and it shined like a disco ball." Hewitt even devotes an entire chapter to "vajazzling" -- the term she coined for her downstairs decoration -- in her new book. She has a book.
From there, the trend, so-named to combine the word BeDazzler (the beloved 1980s crafting tool) with, well...your lady business, took off. And salons have officially jumped on the bandwaggon. After all, if you remove the hair, you’re left with a perfectly good blank canvas for decorating purposes, no?
No. At least that's what Nesties had to say about it. We ran a quick poll on the Fashion & Beauty board, where posters take what’s in or out in the beauty world very seriously. The majority of the responses were negative, with over 60% of voters saying they would decidedly not be heading to the salon for vajazzling anytime soon. But if you feel like your downstairs isn't fancy enough as-is, the Completely Bare Salon in New York City has a how-to video on DIY, at-home vajazzling. According to Completely Bare’s owner, “Men love it!”
What do you think, Nesties?
