NJ Considers It After Two Women Are Injured]]> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/19/brazilian-waxes-may-be-ba_n_176824.html TRENTON, N.J. &mdash; New Jersey is drawing the line when it comes to bikini waxing. The state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is moving toward a ban on genital waxing after two women reported being injured in their quest for a smooth bikini line.

Both women were hospitalized for infections following so-called "Brazilian" bikini waxes; one of the women has filed a lawsuit, according to Jeff Lamm, a spokesman for New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the cosmetology board.
