10 April 2008 – 3:57 pm

DIY/male grooming live

26 March 2008 – 7:24 pm

bambuser is a service where your can stream from your phone or webcam – live. Today I watched Pete Ashton pull out excess eyebrow hairs. I can’t say tweezed, because he used a pair of pliers. You can watch the archive, I’m claiming it was my idea.
