Thursday August 27th
So another day of waking up late. Feeling like staying in to veg again. It has been a while since I had the chance to sit in silence without the feeling to rush off and do thirty other things, so I took the chance to soak it up. I didn't leave the apartment until Karin came home from work again.
This evening I started my cultural study by getting a pedicure! I was the only man in the whole joint who was kicking my feet up. There were only two other men there, and they were employed to open the door for all us ladies. I only got a minimal foot job. It cost me around $11, and it was worth it. Karin had a manicure done as well. I had one woman working on my feet, while Karin had one on her feet and one on her hands. Some women in there had up to four women at once, feet, hands, and two on hair. It was a bona fide beauty factory, and I was right there in the middle of it, beautiful as ever!
Karin went on to another place where I was not allowed to continue my study. She went on to get the famous Brazilian wax, in a dungeon where only women are allowed. (So she dropped me off at a cafe near her house where I bought little balls of cheese bread and I commenced to wrap them in prosciutto! Good God what a treat. I had what was left over for breakfast the next morning!) This was a pretty minimal follow up to the Brazilian beauty aesthetics, but it was essential in seeing the full flux and importance of being beautiful in these modern times here in Brazil. Every one is getting ready to strut their shit at the beach, including me! That's right Mankinni, eat my shorts. My beauty is on the inside.
We finished up the night by eating some damn fine pizza and having a bottle of wine with it. This was at a really great pizza joint. Karin's dad had a coupon for a free pizza and we redeemed it. Yummers.
