Dear Miss Wendy,

I am a young man who recently moved to Manhattan from Amarillo, Texas. I live in Chelsea, so I can be close to the other young men who reside there. Do I have to pay over $200 for a haircut?

Sincerely,

Chelsea Boy

Dear Chelsea,

Yes, it’s the law. Please read the fine print in your lease or ask the bouncer at one of the mega clubs that line your streets.

Dear Miss Wendy,

I emailed you yesterday, telling you that I am a gay man who lives in the Chelsea section of New York City. I wanted to know if I had to pay $200 for a haircut. You said yes. So, I made an appointment, and the hairdresser said I should get my eyebrows waxed, too. Where does this end?

Sincerely,

Chelsea Boy

Dear Chelsea,

When you visit the waxer, they will explain that a proper wax job for a gay guy in New York City starts at the eyebrows, moves to the back, and continues waxing southward (rip and scream, rip and scream) until the final yelp when they remove your toe hairs. And yes, I do mean exactly what you think I mean. But the upside is that you will be perfectly groomed, and as a side benefit, you can take up competitive swimming.
