Bikini WaxingWednesday 29 May 2002
If you think it is bad enough getting out your bikini and seeing if it still fits, now there is another dilemma. Which way to wax?

Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Campbell and Jennifer Lopez are all doing the Brazilian style and the Brazilian Bikini Wax fashion is catching on over here. At least it only involves the thinnest strip of hair being removed.
Jenni ponders over the different 'styles' and asks her guests Rachel Johnson and Marsha Smith, lecturer in Cultural Studies at Nottingham Trent University, about the politics of bikini line waxing.
