One of the perks of freelancing is the ability to take an hour out from an otherwise busy day to read the newspaper, take a stroll, or, in today’s case, to accompany William ‘Macboy’ Levin on his trip to a Park Slope health spa for a back wax.
William is heading to Israel on Saturday and decided his back hair was an impediment in his quest to find a ‘hot Israeli chick’. (I think he believes his Austin Powers-esque chest is a bonus.)
Well, I’m pleased to say the back hair is no more thanks to the skill of a very nice Russian beautician who wanted to know which of William’s parents was the hairy one. (William assured her it was his father.)
Unfortunately the experience was nowhere near as painful as I had hoped. But for fans of the creator of Shabot and myriad viral Jewish cartoons here is an excerpt from the forthcoming, straight to DVD, S&M documentary Back Wax: The Ben Baruch Way, soon to be available in all good synagogue bookstores.
That’s very impressive. I love men liberated enough to wax. Wish I was a hot Israeli chick.
Hope you and Sophie had a great time in Europe! Any ideas where to pitch an article about a new attempt to cross the Antarctic?
