Let Me Get This Straight...

I just got an email from a research company with whom I did a focus group a long time ago:

[COMPANY] is looking for select women who live in Manhattan only between the ages of 30 and 39 who use a (brand) (DISPOSABLE) Razor to shave their legs most often to participate in an interview and a SHAVING DEMONSTRATION IN YOUR HOME. This also involves a razor product trial, the product will be mailed out to you.

The discussion will take place in your home in Manhattan on Wednesday February 13th at 1:00pm and will last 2 hours.
The interviews are conducted by women and you will be videotaped doing a shaving demonstration.
You will receive a cash incentive of $175.00 for your participation.

At first you wonder about the people who let strangers come over and shave them for two hours on videotape (presumably in a tub), and then you feel really bad for the people who have to go over and shave strangers.

Somewhat less creepy: I think they would be filming how you shave, not shaving you. Which is still weird, but less so.

Not everyone gets an invitation to their own sexual assault, so lucky you.

For $175, they can come down to Birmingham and shave MY legs...
