On Becoming a Sasquatch

Okay, not really.

But it's finally warm out here, which for me means shorts; short skirts; and dresses as my wardrobe --well, the lower half of my wardrobe. Not just roaming around in shorts or a skirt with no top. Haven't quite gotten into the walk around topless and post those nipples on Instagram uproar. More power to those who do, but not for me. ;)

Anyway, those shorts and short skirts mean shaving my legs daily. Because one does not want to be au natural and not shave at all (not my style --give me my razor or give me death!). Plus, please, honey, I wear contact and my hair is highlighted. Pretty sure I left natural a long while back.

It would be so much easier though if I didn't have to shave every single day, but I also love the feel of my legs being super smooth and hairless. Feels more like summer to me.

Haven't tried the whole Nair thing because with my luck, I'd have a reaction to it and wind up with a blazing red leg for the summer. Pretty sure that's not hot. Just no.

So, in the name of my own vanity, I'll keep on shaving. No need to look out for a Sasquatch up this way.

One year, I tried waxing my legs. At home. It hurt but it was manageable. So I thought I'd try ye olde pits. In order for that to work, one must let the hair grow, which was awful but I thought at least I wouldn't have to bother with it for a while.

Um.

The waxing didn't work on my pits.
So I tried Nair.
That didn't work either.
The hell?

So I shaved.

Hi.

There was pretty much no skin left at that point and I wound up dispatching MY EX to the pharmacy in search of an antibiotic cream with a painkiller in it. Then I couldn't shave for 3-6 weeks nor could I use deodorant. It was such a thoroughly enjoyable experience, I suggest every one of my nemeses try it.

And after THAT debacle? Yeah. You can pretty much imagine where else I am NOT PUTTING WAX. Ever.

I'm with you; the blade, all the way.

Yes, viva la blade. Good to know about waxing and Nair. Ack.
