Who said we had to shave our legs!

Oh how i wish I could turn back the clock to that fateful day at 14 when I first shaved my legs. I can remember using a blunt razor and Mum freaking out when she saw the bath full of blood. It was the beginning of a lifetime of buying expensive razors, painful razor cuts, and because I'm half blind in the shower, (you try wearing your glasses in the shower!) racing stripes on my legs.
Who said we have to shave our legs, abd why do I think it necessary to continue...because the hair grows back black!!!!! Its a vicious cycle

If only I hadn't started but alas I have. The only respite is winter followed by a very long session and 2 razors later to get the legs to public viewing standard. As Kaz Cooke says in her new book Women's Stuff, (a must have for any women and very funny) "the idea of normal has become abnormal, we are shocked to see a photo in the media of a natural woman showing any body hair, or a flash of fur under somebody's arm." (feel like I should be APA referencing hair here). Contrary to popular belief armpit hair is not unhygienic and the smell only arises from not washing daily.

So who am I shaving for if its not for hygiene reasons?  I do get the odd comment from the hairy (very hairy) lump I share my bed with about prickly legs but its not for him, its because my culture expects it from women and apparently its all been driven from America's beauty culture.

So while I would like to go free range for the rest of my life, my culture dictates I can't unless I invest in dreadlocks, maxi tie dyed skirts, go braless and and barefoot as apparently all hairy women are hippies, and as appealing as that sounds I'm sure Carterton could not cope with that LOL! Bloody americans!

Love you more than my winter jeans
