Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
The Rays fans are still trying to figure out how to cope with their team being successful. In some ways, they’ve failed epically. I’m talking specifically about handing out cowbells to all those who attend their playoffs game. That’s bush league and incredibly annoying. Just ask Bobby Jenks.
But the positive that’s come from Rays Mania is the Rayhawk. We mentioned it a couple weeks ago, after manager Joe Maddon joined in on the craze. Soon thereafter, fans all over the place were shaving Mohawks into their heads. But now the women of the greater Tampa-St. Pete area are getting in on the craze in their own, special way:
It's the second most popular style to sweep the Rays craze.And with that, every man in Florida is ecstatic that Rays fans went with the Mohawk fad instead of the afro. Or playoff beard.A bikini wax. Mohawk-style.
Michelle Foster of Skin Deep Spatique in St. Petersburg says she was inspired by her son's Mohawk, "I stopped and thought about it a minute, and thought, well now everyone can have one!"
It seems to be making a lot of men happy, Michelle says, as women come home with what she calls a big "surprise."

Sterger is probably more apt to emulate a bald guy than a dude with a mohawk.

This is just flat out gross. Especially the fact that it’s a big enough fad to make headlines meaning everyone who is getting it are talking about it. I’m sorry, but for some reason when "playoff fever" extends to what you do or don’t do with your pubic hair, it’s gone way way way to far!!! disgusting!

therainman must have a hideous significant other because I think this bikini wax thing is awsome. I would love to come home to this.

I had to fight off a few waves of nauseau when I saw that a woman was inspired to trim her pubic hair after looking at her son’s head. Still, I’m glad all the prostitu…whoops…all the female fans in Tampa have their own little way to celebrate.

I think everyone is really taking this a little too seriously. This sounds fun but my wife likes the smooth airfield so this won’t apply at my house. Anyways I’m a Blue Jay fan. Great work on the article.
