Parissa promotes wax strips with hirsute man

Vancouver-based Parissa Labs will conduct an advertising initiative at Kits Beach on July 25 in support of its Parissa Wax Strips product line. A promotional worker, described by the company as "excessively hairy," will walk along the beach for two hours with the words "Parissa Wax Strips" waxed out of the hair on his back.
