They said/We said: Wax off… fur on? The $225 hot pink “Foxy Bikini” wax

The latest trend to compete for the attention of your ladybits is the somewhat horrifying but entirely amusing “Foxy Bikini,” available at New York’s Completely Bare salon. And it should come as no shock that Real Housewives of New York-alumna Cindy Barshop, the creative genius who brought us last year’s vajazzling “trend,” is behind this furry invention.

Made with found materials, they leave a light eco-footprint too. At Dream ($45 each, 311 W. Cordova St., 604-683-7326). Read more »
