Kat's Honeymoon Happy Ending
Kat shares an incredible story from her 2009 honeymoon weekend. After getting married on Halloween and securing a new job, she and her husband treated themselves to luxury spa massages at an upscale resort in the North Carolina mountains.

Mary's Husband Becomes a Live Waxing Model
Mary, a salon owner, wanted to expand her services to include male body waxing in 2008. She found a three-day intensive class in Wisconsin that promised comprehensive training. When the male model for the bikini wax demonstration cancelled, Mary convinced her supportive husband Brad to volunteer as the replacement. In front of 20 students, Brad endured a complete Brazilian wax demonstration, starting on all fours for the buttocks portion before flipping over for the front, all while their one-year-old son waited in the lobby.
