Remember this basic rule: Bleaching + Brazils = Bodacious Bootay!

I'm gonna file this under strange things rich white people do. If your a woman and your man spends so mucbh time considering your anus perhaps there are some other things we need to discuss.

I'm still not sure whether this started out as an urban legend or not.

I was working out the other day, and there was a show on E! network called Dr. 90210 had a whole section about a porn star going to a place called (I'm not kidding) Pink Cheeks to get her an*s bleached! You can imagine that that particular section of treadmills and stationary bikes turned oddly quiet during those 5 or 10 minutes. Here's a write-up on it from (ahem - nsfw) CQ.

Well, I think if people would just wipe thoroughly this wouldn't be a problem.

Sorry.

Um, jasper411: read the article linked in the FPP. It's all about Pink Cheeks.

I would worry about the chemicals. Think about what happens when you shoot alcohol up your ass. Oops!

If you're displaying your butthole to enough people that you think a grooming regimen is in order...well, maybe a quiet night at home might not be a bad idea.

That would be: (Tristan Taormino) uses so many puns, she inevitably makes an ass of herself.

er, Tristan is (usually) a man's name, isn't it? I know two of them...

I can't say that I'm a frequent reader of the "Anal Advisor" column, so I'll take your word for it.
posted by clevershark at 6:56 PM on July 13, 2005


Yes, she is. And I'm a big fan of the butthole, but I still think that bleaching it is insane, for the same reason I don'tcare for Brazillian waxes. It's a butthole, it should look like a butthole, not an aesthetic triumph.

Isn't anal bleaching mainly popular among laxative abusers? The laxative is what causes the anus to blacken.

I'm not sure I would want to even casually know, let alone sleep with, any man who expected his woman to bleach her anus or get a Brazilian. If he wants a plastic thing to have sex at, let him buy a Realdoll.

If you hate the thought of bunghole excema, here's an alternative idea: Paste on some fake eyelashes. Just at that magical Cialis moment, bring knees to your shoulders and squeeze a glass eye part way out. Make it rotate left and right while shouting: "WHAT'RE YOU LOOKING AT?"

Works every time!

I second Rubbstone. If you are a lady and your partner is pushing you to bleach your bottom, please visit me. We'll have good times--I don't care how pink your anus is!

Latest craze? Popbitch was talking about this at least one, if not two years ago. Apparently it just made its way into the Voice's social circle, though.
posted by VulcanMike at 9:26 PM on July 13, 2005


from the article:
The pinkest, happiest buttholes I've ever seen are those that have been stroked, licked, and fucked till they couldn't help but blush with contentment

I agree. Bleaching is rediculous.

Butt, Hal9k wins!

Anyone who insists on a bleached ass, doesn't appreciate ass, so deserves NO ass.

Yea, I saw that E! Dr. 90210 episode on Saturday night. Tabitha Stevens was the name of the porn star who was getting it done, and the lady running the place says they got a lot of requests for the anal bleaching product. Quite interesting...

I've got nothing against bleached holes, nor unbleached ones either, but this is a symptom of all that has gone wrong with pr0n in the 90's/00's - the producers think that people want to fark Barbie.

My guess is that women don't bleach their assholes because some man wants them to. Just like with clothes, make-up, hair styles and cosmetic surgery, they do it firstly for themselves, and secondly, to impress other women.

Yes, PeterMcDermott, I see the secret's finally out: That's what we've been doing in the ladies' room all along, and why the really classy places have lounges with adjustable mirrors and padded chairs.

Sherman Oaks is the porn capital of the world, so I would guess the salon the author visited caters to a very specific client base, despite the author's efforts to make anal bleaching sound like the next LiveStrong bracelet.

It's not like your corner salon is going to start providing this service...unless you live in Texas.

Pffft. Anal bleaching is sooo five minutes ago. If you hung out with us girls in the good bathrooms you would know that lately all we can talk about is botoxing our asses. Yeah all those wrinkly bits-- ewwwwh. I'm 47 years old and I have the rosebud of a 22 year old.

Anal bleaching is just one of a wide variety of new non-invasive procedures that assist in creating Total Colo-Rectal Beauty. All TCRB components help not only appearance and hygiene, but assist in restoring the lost youthful innocence, elasticity, and confidence that age and improper food choices often erase.

TCRB is not just a catchword – it’s a beautiful and natural lifestyle.


Oh poor Elvis-- he died too soon. I bet he would have been first in line to order up that new TCRB jewelry.

random observations: courtney cox's asshole

re: hyphenate an*l retentive? Without looking up the "rule," my practice would be to hyphenate it when it is used as an adjective modyfiying a noun, such as in "an*l-retentive d*ckhead" but not when used as a noun-phrase as in "any one who would sweat over wheter to hyphenate an*l-retentive is an *nal retentive."

Isn't it your basic an*l COMPULSIVE that's going for the magic cream?

I think your average an*l retentive is in his/her natural brown state because NO ONE is ever going there.
