Yesterday, I had the unusual job of taking photos of a leg wax.

Below you will meet 'Wingy' ... or 'Wingadelic' as he calls himself. Wingy is a mate of mine ... and my current employer for the 'Set Carpentry' I do for theatres, casinos, stage performances, tv shows, and various other galas and openings etc.

Wingy is also training for a very tough 7 day mountain bike race next month and I've been helping him train by getting him onto a road bike and teaching him to go where no wingadelic has ventured before ... into the pain barriers he didn't know he had

Wingy is doing this for charity ... a kids charity and I came up with the idea that a) he needed to shave his legs because it's important for massage, you get less dirt sticking, sunblock goes on much easier, you clean up easier, and it just looks damn good when you've got some muscle to show off Which, at the time, he didn't ... and b) we could charge members of one of my cycling websites to come and rip a strip off him in a wax wingy's legs morning. We raised about $1200 by doing this yesterday through donations over the past few weeks.

And yesterday was D Day. Or W Day. Or Faaaaaark that hurts Day

As a side note: I was offered a $50 donation to the cause if one of them could tear a strip of one of my legs ... so yes I took the $50 and gave it to Wingy. My right calf will now have a shiny strip up the center of it for the next few weeks whether I shave or not now!

So ... here's a few shots I took ... forgive them a little it was very dark due to the rain we had ...

Goooo Nads!


The forest we had to deal with and me without my whipper snipper (weed wacker, grass slasher thingy)


Wingy smiles in readiness ... "Piece of cake"
