Ugly Duckling - WINNING ENTRY in our annual hair removal story giveaway contest.

So as most people are aware...Asians are most unfortunate with facial and body hair, quite frankly we look like monkeys from the moment we are born (well I did)

We may have thick, dark, healthy hair on our heads.....but that?s not the only place our hair grows in the same comparison!

As a child at school, I was nick named ?Tasha?.....for obvious reasons (I had a tash) but not only did i have an un-natural amount of hair on my upper lip....but also on my chin, cheeks, forehead and to top it off I also carried a Uno-brow in the middle of two very thick bushy eyebrows! Not the most attractive look on a girl who is just about to start college!

My two best friends were absolutely stunning! Fair skin, defined cheekbones and overall BEAUTIFUL. So naturally I would feel even more conscious of my appearance.

Once i started college (a place of hormones and testosterone flying everywhere) i was noticed even more...FOR MY FACIAL HAIR!

One day I thought enough was enough; I need to do something about this! Clueless at how to effectively remove all my hair as my mother never allowed me to do it......I went off to boots to buy some hair removal cream. I spent a while in there juggling about 10 tubes and boxes in my hand, reading them all, and seeing which one will be the best for me, when I eventually settled on one.


So off home I went, excited about what I was about to do! I waited till my mum was in bed, then in front of my mirror I applied the hair removal cream on my upper lip, cheeks, chin, neck, middle of my eyebrow...EVERYWHERE! I had already read the instructions in the shop so didn?t need to do so twice.

As i waited for the magic to take place i jumped in the shower....done my thing then washed of my face!
Excited and exhilarated at what I just done, I jumped into bed and eagerly waited for the next morning to go to college and show off my ?new face?

As i walked through the college gates, heads and eyes were turning rapidly, and murmurs of ?what the ****? were heard. I thought this was a good shock, until my friend (a few hours later) whisked me away to the loos to question me at what I had done....she looked utterly shocked....but NOT in a good way.....as I looked in the mirror, all my facial hair was glistering BLONDE against my DARK brown skin! I APPLIED HAIR BLEACH ON MY FACE!

Since then I promised myself to leave all things regarding facial hair to the experts! I am now all waxed and threaded and look and feel great about myself! And in fact, next week is a college reunion (i haven?t seen these people in 6years) and I?m hoping to turn more heads this time....but for all the right reasons!
