Rory has talked to the HMs about the wonders of manscaping and yesterday it was Travis’ turn to find the metrosexual within.  Notoriously hairy Travis knew it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park but as they say, beauty is pain.

The blokes decided Travis’ chest was in need of some attention and decided to wax his nipples.  While the boys told Travis he shouldn’t stop at just his chest, Cherry told him that his ‘back-gina’ needed some attention.  “I reckon you should do your back-gina,” Nobbi informed Travis as he checked out the tuft of hair about his lower back.

Travis was excited when the wax went on, but one second though he wasn’t so sure.  “Oh Travis,” sighed Terrence as he saw the wax strips laid out straight across Travis’s nipples.  “We’re doing a bit of manscaping here Terrence,” Travis informed him.

The look on Terrence’s face made Travis think twice, he was a waxing virgin and wasn’t too sure what he was in for.  “Is this really going to hurt?”  he asked.  “Travis, you don’t understand how much waxing hurts,” relayed Brigitte who was experienced in the art of waxing.  With that, Nobbi ripped the wax strip straight across Travis’ nipple. Travis screamed, trying to smile through the pain but his first time wasn’t so pleasant.

“Just leave the other one on there,” he pleaded.  But there was no turning back at the halfway point - he had to finish the job. The manscaping had begun.  Then rip!  The other strip was removed and Travis had two naked nipples.

“I feel so naked,” Travis told the group of HMs who had crowded around.  He rose to inspect his new metro look he was quite pleased with the results.  “I look like Cherry now!” Travis declared, checking out his new smooth chest.

“That looked like it hurt so much,” observed Rory, who manscaped only with clippers.  Travis told him it did, it burnt even.  But everyone agreed it did look better.  Nobbi and Travis went searching for some soothing cream and laughed about the entertainment value of hair removal.  “This is what we do in the BB House,” Travis began. “ …get bored and wax people,” Nobbi concluded.

Keen for some more victims, the boys spied the rug on Terrence’s chest and thought they had hit the jackpot.  “I’ll manscape later,” Terrence informed the group, fending off their eager eyes.  However, Terrence was intrigued, he said a trend was taking hold and it must become a compulsive thing, he wanted to know more.  “So Rory pretty much all your mates would manscape?” Terrence questioned.  Rory let the Soap Box Dad in on the secrets of the new world of manly hair care.  Terrence confessed his wife had suggested he remove his back hair. “I didn’t realise that people manscaped,” Terrence admitted.

Nobbi and Travis then set to waxing a strip on each other their leg.  Rhianna made sure Travis actually wants to go through with all the waxing.  “I don’t mind, we’re bored man.  I’m even prepared to do my back.” Travis announced with the next round of waxing locked in.  “Oh Nobbi, we just feel like we’ve been to the beauty parlour, this is so nice,” Travis joked.  But his face changed once his hair was extracted ever so swiftly - straight from the roots!

“Nobbi, if we keep all of them we could make another rug for you out there,” Terrence teased, checking out the mass of hair protruding from the used wax strip. 

Next area of interest - Travis’s lower back. “Your bum crack is so hairy,” Brigitte said, shocked at what lay before her.  The group were astounded at Travis’s mane of hair making its way up his back.  He was tentative about the pain but just set his mind of the final result.  “Travy, it will look so good though,” Alice reassured.

Nobbi set to working his hair-today-gone-tomorrow magic.  Cherry assured Travis for all the pain, the results would last.  But Travis had reached his pain threshold and after two wax strips on his chest and one on his leg the lower back waxing fun didn’t last long.  After the second strip Travis shot up out of his position and yelled for cream.  “The things I do when I’m bored,” Travis explained.  As HMs inspected the damage, Travis said no more - he had been through enough.

“Maybe tomorrow,”  Nobbi suggested as the girls told him there wasn’t much more to go.  “Yeah tomorrow,” Travis announced.  The manscaping continues…
