Have you ever stumbled across a song and thought, “damn, this song should be my soundtrack as I walk down the street in my new short shorts”?

Well, if you’re like me, then you HAVE had this thought before. Everyone needs a song that gets them feeling badass. Everyone needs a pulsating, bass-a-rific riff that makes them forget that they’re just driving to the store to get some milk and instead imagine that they’re in an action movie where the opening credits are rolling as they ride down the highway, hair flying and looking hot.

David Guetta (with Chris Willis on vocals) has supplied us with the first perfect badass summer song of the season, Love is Gone. The beat is undeniable, it works on the treadmill as well as on the car stereo, and the music video is kind of weird and awesome.

Congrats. Summer is here.

Spring has officially sprung here in New York City; the sun dress is here to stay, as are flip-flops, tank tops and shorts. If you’re like me, you might be looking down at your hairy, pasty legs and thinking “dear God, I actually miss December!”

And of course our trusty womens magazines are all about “getting ready for Summer” articles, reminding us that now is the time for manicures, pedicures, armpit shaving, leg shaving, fake tanner and…bikini waxes?

Really?

Bikini waxes are painful and, even worse, expensive! Cosmo online tells me I should wax about every 3 weeks, which would add up to probably about $400 over the summer months (considering the average bikini wax in NYC costs at least $50 w/tip!). At the moment I am a) single and b) not a surfer/lifeguard/swimmer/bikini model, so why the heck am I supposed to be getting bikini waxes? Painting my toes, shaving my legs, I get it–those are the bits that people can see when I’m wearing my little sun dress and flip-flops. Are shorts-that-are-so-short-we-can-see-your-pubes a new trend I haven’t heard about yet? Does casual Friday now include swim wear?

Someone, anyone: please enlighten me! Do you get bikini waxes in the Summer, even if you have no intention of hitting the beach/pool/water park?
