Rating:  - Why beauty must hurt?Let me start saying that I did not acquire this item for myself but for one of my nieces. She made a concious decision based in all of the details of the product and comments from the users. She seems to be comfortable with her choice and is currently using the device. It's actually me who has some reservations about this kind of things; I am sorry but, how come in the 21st century is possible to find somebody who claims that "beauty hurts"? Is this really necessary? Have we not learned anything during the past 20 centuries about needless methods such this one? I do not pretend to be self sufficient (or too much anyway), but certainly I prefer to devote 10 more minutes ... Read More Rating:  - ???I got it for my wife. She seems to like it. She had a cheap one that just had one wheel and it took her forever. Rating: - Fiancee loves it!I purchased this for my fiancee, who tends to forget to shave. She had mentioned that she might try it so I bought it for her. Initially it was extremely painful for her and she could only do her legs. She can now do her underarms and bikini area (still hurts, but is hurting less as she uses it more). She only shaves once a week if she remembers... but her legs stay smooth. Thank god. :) She insisted that I try using it on my leg when she started using it. I didn't seem to think that it really hurt. More just a pinching sensation. I'm not sure though. I am a guy and never shave my legs so maybe the long hairs made it less painful...? Rating: - Great Product and a tipWith over 300 5-star ratings, I doubt there is more I can say about how great this product is. Instead I have two tips for users or potential users. If you have skin that gets red & blotchy after tweezing or epilating, get a bottle of Benadryl itch stop gel, apply to the skin, wait 5 minutes, wipe off and then epilate with blotch-free (or at least reduced) skin! If you are a person absolutely terrified of the pain, get a bottle of skin numbing gel. I don't adhere to one brand, just anything that ends with -caine. Just test a small area first to make sure you aren't allergic to the product first. Cheers! Rating:  - works very WELLI just received this product & I absolutely love it. This is my very fist experience with an Epilator - so needless to say I really didn't know that to expect (as far as pain was concerned). Initially I was a bit taken aback by the discomfort from the rapid hair removal - but in the end it has proven to be totally worth it. I'm glad I made the investment. If you can tolerate a moderate amount of pain - for a short period of time - then I highly recommend it to anyone. |
Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."
I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.
I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.
I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.
I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.
Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.
There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.
Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
