Before admiring the powerful muscularity of the latest pickup truck model, some men attending The Man Expo on Friday afternoon stopped off to get their nose hair waxed or uni-brow trimmed.
"I can breathe better," said Paul Garfield, 18, after taking his turn on the waxing table. "I won't have to deal with the pesky nose hair. It didn't hurt as bad."
Encouraged by Garfield, a handful of his friends lined up, one by one, for their own wax jobs.
The group of young men from Springville were among the thousands of men and women who ventured to the first-ever Utah event at Sandy's South Towne Expo Center. The two-day event, with its tag line of "All Things Man," showcased more than 150 exhibitors selling everything from outdoor grills to business suits.
After more than 20 years in the business of hosting events, mainly bridal shows, Todd Chiniquy partnered with other exposition veterans to create the Man Expo team.
"You've seen the women's expos and those type of events, but this right here is unique because it focuses all on men," said Chiniquy, as he pointed out four lines of people, mainly men, waiting to purchase tickets. "Our turnout has been strong."
Women, of course, are welcome to attend the event, but activities were organized to attract men. At one end of the massive convention hall, a younger crowd showed off their skateboarding tricks on ramps, while nearby basketball and arm wrestling competitions were also being staged...
The event's multiple competitions offered prizes in all shapes and sizes, from T-shirts for the guy who rides the mechanical bull the longest to $1,500 in hair-removal treatments for the guy with the hairiest back. The biggest prize of all? The sparkling new red Lamborghini parked near the entrance.

Well, that’s because just about everyone carries staph in their bodies, usually inside the nostrils, but it can be anywhere on the body. I took care of a patient that was on contact precaution and his chart said due to possible e. coli infection. I took one look at the lesions on his body and said ....nuh uh that is MRSA. Sure enough the cultures came back for MRSA. It just looks really menacing when you see it.
well alrighty then!!!!!
Try the long tip charcoal lighters. You can get into the deep recesses better, works for ear canals too.
Sonds like a convention of queers to me.
A real man adapts to the situation in the most efficient way possible. If it means that he wants to have his nostrils waxed so he could breathe better for his job, so be it.
LOL,,needlenose,,I thought that was just me! And i always leave a few. If i need to fake empathy,,i can always pull a nosehair and get a tear in my eye.
I have a little keychain multitool that folds down to about two inches long.
Gawd! Lenin looks better.
These folks are from Utah. It is scary that these folks are conservatives. I guess conservatives have some crazies too.
Yeah, yeah. Someone needs waxed. Someone always needs waxed. Very effective. Stops all the mischief they might be up to.
So what is your 7 day treatment?
I was denied access to a Gated Community by a Gate Guard Unibrow of the female gender, even though I go there every week and was on the guest list. Since this was going to alienate me from my client and cost me $50, I threw caution to the wind, held up my trusty tweezers and said. “THIS IS MR. TWEEZER. HE WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND” and drove off. I later straightened things out with the client, and she said EVERYONE complains about the Gate Nazi. LOL. It’s the symptom of an inner disorder I think.
LOL! Amen! Just performed my latest Character-Building Experience on yesterday. I always wind up having to wipe the tears off the mirror.
Just, EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-W-W-W-W-!!!
Just what I was thinking.
That’s a five gallon wax job.
Real men don’t even wax philosophical about nostril waxing.
