the idea of a brazilian wax can strike fear into any woman's heart, but we're picking up good vibes from waxer extraordinaire, arsi tavitian and her magic magnetic pad.

it's no pain, all gain with her massaging pad, which sends out tiny magnetic vibrations to increase circulation and blood flow. and it even gives you an internal massage to distract you from the ole' stick and rip. after acquiring her skin-therapy skills back at med school in romania (plenty of facial hair to practice on), she did this and that and finally landed at rita hazan.

in an effort to prevent you from screaming, yowing, and turning beat-red during a visit, she applies a wax made with beeswax and pinecone. (better to grip your hair with, my dear, and less painful.) okay, she's also known for her bifocal and finger touch-ups. (keep it clean folks. really.)

and now onto the next vibrating thing of interest.
