Blame the Brazilians
The bikini was invented by the French but apparently the string bikini was revolutionalized by Brazilian model Rose de Primo. The reason being the lack of a proper bikini to wear to a photo shoot.
Now in order to successfully “wear” the string bikini, one must accompany it with… you guessed it! A brazilian wax! So goes the history of the brazilian and ever since, women have relegated themselves to a lifelong torture where hot sugar wax and cloth strips are used to pull out the stubborn skin to produce smooth and silky bikini lines.
Pukka Pineapple with Bashed-Up Mint Sugar
Back home, I can pick a peeled pineapple from any corner of Naga City. When I moved to Makati City, I have switched to canned pineapples which is considered nutritonally inferior to fresh and frozen counterpart. The reason was… I didn’t know how to peel one.
Last year in Shopwise, a small DOLE stand (hey this is not an advertisement) pop up in one corner of the fruit section. I watched the attendant as he peeled and sliced, placed in a styro plate and plastic-wrapped the fresh and golden pineapple in a snap. It created a theatrical action for me. I was amazed and took home a plate of Dole’s Tropical Gold Pineapple.
