If y'all haven't read Verbal's new piece yet, go read it! It has a spot in my favourites; these things don't happen to any old story!

No, it doesn't only remove hair above the surface. It isn't that different from waxing in my opinion, the only difference is that a sugar paste is used instead of wax strips. The paste is warm and kind of thick, like sticky slime or honey, and it will rip the hair out same as the wax strips do. Definitely not pleasant either, although less painful than wax - the difference is that you don't go AGAINST the hair, but IN THE DIRECTION of the hair, so it's less painful and does less damage to the skin. I think they say the benefit is that you can even prepare the paste at home (never tried it though), also it's more natural (no chemicals involved while they usually are in the wax) and suitable even for sensitive and allergic skin. I'd say the effect lasts pretty much the same as wax, for me it's every three weeks or so.

I commonly cut and paste the entire text code onto a document. This not only allows me to keep them for reuse, but I can also add 'book covers' or any other link I prefer. The links and fonts are coded by text, so they are easily copied and replaced with a single paste.
