Have You Heard Of The “Hollywood”?

I was reading Daily Mail columnist Liz Jones' latest crazy rant (today the subject is unwanted body hair) and it was just as bats**t and entertaining as usual, until I came across the following description in regards to a cousin of the Brazilian bikini wax:

"Then there is its more extreme stablemate the Hollywood, which takes away everything, leaving the bearer distastefully childlike. My waxing specialist in London now does 'seven or eight Hollywoods a day' - a 70 per cent increase on this time last year. Completely Bare, the American chain of spas dedicated to hair removal, has seen requests for a Hollywood quadruple in the past 12 months."

How did I miss out on this terminology? Was I absent that day during beauty school? Now don't get me wrong. I understand that some women are going completely bald down there, but I had no idea just how many of them were and that it was even called that. And I've even visited Completely Bare, the spa Jones is referring to (though not for that). What I need to know immediately is this: Are you getting this (presumably extremely painful) procedure done? And did you know it was called a "Hollywood"? Oh and dudes, are you like, into this or find it totally disturbing? [The Daily Mail]--The Frisky
