PostSubject: Remember These?   Wed Jan 14, 2009 1:15 pm

For those of us that bought our wife or girlfriend on of these back around the early 80's when they came out, we had hell to pay afterwards. What we *thought* was a stroke of genius was actually a very painful method of hair removal.

Is there any reason why I haven't the faintest idea what anyone's referring to? I can't see pics or a description...

RD, images are tied to an account name, so when this member's account went away, so did the images (and the author became "Guest.")

If I remember correctly, that was a picture of an "Epilady" epilator, one of those pink devices whose blades looked like a very small grain thresher. (Between hair removal and childbirth, I cannot fathom whence the myth that women aren't tough.)

Thanks for the explanation Doc. Much appreciated and a question I'll never have to ask again!

Cheers

RD
