From the Archive - I Like To Be Smooth, Minneapolis, MNLake Street USA (1997 - 2000)
I love to get my stomach and chest waxed. It makes me laugh. I like the feeling of smoothness against my clothes and raw skin. I just don’t like hair. I like to be smooth. 
The pain almost feels good in a way. It’s like a sexual experience. You want it to happen and you don’t want it to happen. It’s kind of weird. It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before. One moment it can hurt, and the next moment it can make you laugh.
It’s also kind appetizing to the mind to see all the hair removed. Like when you play Pac Man. You want to get rid of all the little dots. And you can’t stop. Then it kills you.

About

(k)now is a blog by Wing Young Huie that blends three projects:

(1) “We are the Other” is new work presented as a serialized photographic novel that infuses several concepts to connect people who don’t know each other well or at all. (New scene every Sunday round midnight.)

(2) “From the Archive” features work from Wing’s vast film-based archive, much of which has never seen the light of day, often coupled with commentary. (New post every Wednesday round midnight.)

(3) “Changing Lenses” is an ongoing conversation with eminent sociologist Doug Hartmann that explores the intersection between photography and sociology.
