What do you do with your toenail clippings?

[dulwichmum]

I looked it up on Google and I can't find anything!

I tried a new salon this week in Tooting. It is called 'Shilpa's' - as in Shilpa Shetty! I think she owns it. My mother wanted to try eyebrow threading because she envies my perfect arches (admires own image in compact mirror). I took Brenda to Shilpa's because I had been going to Shavata at Harrod's and I knew that my mother would tell me off when she found out how expensive it was, so I needed to find somewhere cheaper.

Anyhow, I took Brenda in, and for a joke I said, 'remove everything below her eyelashes' - OHMYGOD! It was like a sandstorm in the salon. I couldn't bear to look. That woman had no sense of humour and lets just say that my mother was thoroughly depilated...

I have no clue what the Miami is and I can't think what other possible variation there could be of "Wax On, Wax Off" than Brazil v Hollywood

[dulwichmum]

Don't you want to hear what Brenda said when the woman attached the stirrups to her chair?

[HonaloochieB]

A Miami is an 'all off'.

So called because it leaves the area florid and the owner going 'aaaah'.

[giggirl]

No Hooch, that's the Hollywood

[dulwichmum]

My mother didn't say 'aaaah', I had never heard her use a swear word before... And that was before she even took off her support tights!

[giggirl]

I've never found anyone who does a decent arch in London. I wasn't impressed by Shivatta but I got an assistant and I swear I came out of Harrods looking permanently surprised. There's a lady in NYC who gives me movie star brows (no, not Lassie) but I don't get to her often, obviously.

[dulwichmum]

You should go to Sheetal at Shilpa's. People wait an hour for her. She is amazing. I make Liz Hurley look like an unkempt hag (whats new?)!

You get your 'personal topiary' done by Mr Miyagi?

[giggirl]

No, by a lovely Hungarian lady with a nice fast technique. It's all in the wrist, apparently. And she doesn't seem to mind when you cuss and swear, which is a bonus. She's heard it all before.

Does Mrs Miyagi have a salon? I would give her a go?

[Moos]

Mr. Miyagi would have you cleaned up before you could say 'grasshopper'.

I can't believe I'm contributing to this stupid thread. Still, it's not as though I'd contribute to one about Solzenitzen.

[giggirl]

Moos - did you google Solzenitzen or did you actually know how to spell it off the top of your head?

[Moos]

Google. I'd have spelled Solldjanitsin.
