Salute Your Shorts

Americans show their patriotism in many different ways: some adorn stars or stripes, some listen to Bruce Springsteen, others bake cakes with flag motifs. People have gone to the extremes of getting an eagle head tattoo or just by simply buying American. Some of us here at EGS went to a whole new level of pride this year. We showed our colors, in our underwear.

Betty Beauty was out of their new blue color, so we settled for pink and red. Red, of course one of the colors of the nations flags, and pink….a color that has been and probably will always be associated with everything girly.  So this past Independence day we pledged allegiance to two things; The Good Ol’ USA and all the wonderful things about being a girl.

For starters lets just acknowledge the fact that someone actually went through the trouble to invent crazy colored dye for our nether-regions. Indeed, feminine grooming products have appeared to come into the mainstream earlier in 2009 with the clever Schick landscaping commercial. The creator of Betty Beauty got the idea to mass market this specialized beauty aide after witnessing a salon keeper in Rome discretely giving her patrons secretive bags of crotch coloring products on their way out of the salon. In college there was always ‘that guy’ who would display manic-paniced pubes at a St. Patrick Days party, or someone who would take the topic of manscaping a bit too far, but other than that it appears the general population is pretty tight lipped on the whole topic of exotic grooming.

The Betty dye comes with 2 steps; the bleaching and the coloring. Many of you ladies out there have lightened your mane  and know that the general consensus is that this process involves lots of pain. Surprisingly enough, this “lightening process” did not hurt at all. Of course, we only applied in the designated “safe zone”, and directions were followed to a tee, as we didn’t want to find out the repercussions of going astray. The No Drip formula is very clumpy, but it did stay put. The “Fun Betty” color is very vivid after the initial application. Even though it appeared as thought all the product had washed out in the shower, like the alternative hair dyes, a little always manages to stay. WORD OF ADVICE: don’t wear white underwear the day of dying. In theory the more “natural” colors such as Brown, Black and Blonde would be much more practical in the long run (but not quite as fun). While the faded dye did last a while, the shockingly pink color only remained a short time. The more outrageous colors are clearly to be used for special occasions indeed. To all brides to be out there, when you walk down the isle, you know what to be rocking blue.

The product does work, just be sure to keep the bleach away from anything you don’t want to destroy. The overall verdict is that the process in general is pretty entertaining. This product has earned our approval, by both women and men. So for any of you ladies out there who want to shock someone, kill an hour, get rid of your gray or simply walk around with a secret, give it a shot.
