Burlesque beauty Dita started peeling off her clothes for cash when she was just a teen.

She says, "I was working as a go-go dancer in nightclubs just out of high school. I was under age. I was only 18.

"Then I started stripping and I worked five times a week, sometimes six. In the early nineties I was easily making a thousand or $1,500 a night. I was making a lot of money."

Hot wax hair removal has been around for some time now really. There are good and bad things involved in using this hair removal treatment, but there are countless women that won't quit using it for any reason. There was a time when I read a hilarious story about a woman who tried hot waxing for the first time. It turned out to be a complete disaster, but there was a lot of truth to be told in it. If you have ever attempted to use the hot waxing method for removing your hair then you can verify that the initial time you try it, it is not easily accomplished, but when you figure it out then you have found yourself a very effective way to rid yourself of all that unwanted hair.

It should be told that hot waxing is only a temporary method for hair removal. The permanent way to rid yourself of unwanted hair is with the process of laser hair removal. But even this process isn't perfect. Hot wax hair removal is something that can be performed in the comfort of your own home, or you can have a pro at a salon do the waxing and pulling for you. Whatever way you decide it is all up to you. Many people do not do it themselves for time constraints so they pay someone else to do the waxing for them. The choice is always yours and is completely a personal decision.

If you desire to try hot wax hair removal at home then you need to be told that a lot of the hot wax packs you buy in department stores have a cheap wax that will not grip your hair properly and will not get all of the hair. Be sure to purchase a quality wax, preferably one from a supplier that has a good reputation so you can be sure to get the results that you intend. All hot wax products are not created equal and you get what you pay for. Just some hot waxing food for thought.

We recently showcased our top five favorite sweater dresses and since then have been asked by many readers just how exactly to wear one. Other than with a solid pair of Spanx (or those ingenious Tight-End tights - or both), there are some simple ways to complement this cozy frock that will bring you easily from the office to after 5 cocktails.  

Since a sweater dress is classic, you can play around with shoes and accessories - but don't go overboard if you plan to wear to the office. A pair of two-tone Mary Janes and one strong colorful cuff will up the ante on a neutral colored dress. You can add a delicate silver necklace for some sparkle at the neckline. Before heading out for drinks, throw on a winter white mid-length jacket to brighten the look, and toss your evening essentials into a daring compact clutch.

We hope you're proud of yourselves, music pirates. Hard times have apparently befallen everyone's favorite technology-averse hard-rock combo, and Metallica's Lars Ulrich is selling a Basquiat he purchased back in 1999, long before he'd even heard of P2P or personal computers. Untitled (Boxer), painted by the artist in 1982, is expected to fetch between $12 million and $16 million at Christie's, which you could probably easily afford with the money you've saved by downloading Metallica albums.

Children can often surprise their parents, both in terms of what they understand and when they understand it. Molly Shannon's daughter Stella, 5, and son Nolan, 3 ½, are no exception. During a Wednesday appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the 44-year-old actress said that she has recently begun to realize just how much of her actions and words are being soaked up by her kids.

The family's previous apartment in New York City had a "terrible mice problem," and Molly said that although she didn't want to make Stella and Nolan nervous she was "very skittish" around the house nonetheless. Constantly afraid of stumbling upon a mouse, Molly's kids were picking up on her fear -- so much so, in fact, that she one day discovered Stella putting tin foil over Nolan's eyes. "I asked 'What are you doing?'" Molly recalled with a laugh. "She said, 'I'm protecting his eyes because I don't want the mice to eat them.'"

In all seriousness, however, Molly revealed during a Thursday appearance on Live with Regis and Kellythat she feels "so lucky" and "so happy" to be a mom because she knows how close she came to having never been one, at all.

"I was very busy with show business, and I feel like I could have easily missed out on [motherhood] ... I am so glad I didn't."

Stella and Nolan are Molly's children with husband Fritz Chestnut. Molly's new sitcom, Kath and Kim , airs on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. on NBC.
