Pedicures for two
Topic: Brazil
We both went for pedicures last week. Well, it started off with me going for one while David had his haircut in the same salon. When he had finished, he came up to where I was just to see how long I would be. The staff insisted he take a seat next to me and wait. before he could protest, a young barber thrust a magazine in his hands with a smile and two thumbs up. the rag was called "Sexy" and was full of naked women. yes, completely naked. Funnily enough, this isn't considered to be porn here - just a healthy bloke's magazine like say FHM or Loaded in the UK. "Sexy" is usually located on news stands next to travel magazines and Marie Claire. While David was distracted, Maria (my pedicurist) took one look at David's toe nails and declared he was in desperate need of a pedicure. I couldn't have agreed more. I have been trying to get him to have one for ages. The last time was three years ago in Vietnam when Cuk the backstreet beautician butchered him and his toe went septic. The poor thing has been understandably wary ever since. Maria reassured him that the process was clean and painless and that all the boys had them nowadays. We looked around the room full of men getting their hair cut while reading "Sexy" and doubted it, but David agreed anyway. His skin was so tough that Maria had to get out the electric sander which freaked him out a bit, but apart from that, I think he rather enjoyed it. We weren't sure if Maria was being serious when she asked him if he wanted them painted, but politely refused....
