A Hairy Fantasy!
So I wouldn’t usually share one of my fantasies with you guys – after all they’re private right? I mean who would want to share such an intimate thing with the whole world via the internet? Not me that’s for sure – although actually I have no say in the matter because it’s up to Ella and quite frankly she seems to have no concern whatsoever telling the world all my private details!
But this is a fantasy I don’t mind sharing – although I’m not suggesting anyone tries to do the whole psychoanalysis number on it!
At the moment I am having a fantasy of walking down the street in shorts and extremely hairy legs. Actually not just hairy legs, hairy armpits too! In my fantasy I am walking freely, hair sprouting forth on my limbs at the amazement and admiration of all who pass by. I can hear them gasp at the wonder of my downy legs and bushy underarms. I feel no embarrassment. No! In fact I feel like a goddess. A cilial-covered goddess!
I think my fantasy has something to do with the arrival of summer and the need to de-hair regularly all of sudden. Not that I don’t de-hair during the rest of the year – obviously I do – but let’s face it, it’s a lot easier to hide a few days leg hair growth under a pair of long jeans isn’t it?
But now it’s swimming season and so the pressure is on to have smooth, soft, hairless skin again. I know I shouldn’t feel that I have to slap on the Nair or haul out the Gillette. I mean I know that whether I have hair on my legs or not does not define my beauty. And even though my rational head tells me that there shouldn’t be a difference between men and women’s collection of bristles, my gut instinctively seems to say otherwise. I tried the natural look, years ago when I was a student (and single coincidentally) but it didn’t last long before I was ripping it all away with sugar wax from the BodyShop. The truth is though that even though it is completely natural for women to have body hair and I just don’t feel comfortable exposing my fuzz!
But it is such a drag!!!!!!!!! Isn’t it? Keeping up with hair removal is a bore and continual hassle – not to mention embarrassing – as anyone who has endured a bikini wax knows – and let me just say those paper panties do not cover up a thing! It is truly a mortifying experience trying to continue a conversation with one’s beautician while one’s practically naked bum is stuck up in the air!
Needless to say I’m already longing for Autumn’s return when my bristles and I can hide away behind cardigans and trousers again.
Bye y’all!

From makeup to girdles women do have to endure certain nuisances and discomforts for the sake of beauty. There’s always electrolysis. I long for the day when the standard of beauty becomes the opposite of what’s inside fashion magazines.

Hello and welcome Lafemmeroar! Very well put – although have to say I’m far too much of a wimp for electrolysis! 🙂

Too bad beauty isn’t judged on what’s inside. Then again, that maybe a bad thing … considering the amount of phonies out there.

((sigh)) I feel ya, lady! I too am forced now to shave the stumps and am not happy about it. Dare I say that I become very lax during the cold months, much to the dismay of my husband? If I recall a chafing on his hips comment comes to mind. Nothing real romantic about that, but fortunately marriage gives me the right to keep my gams any way I like, and well…if he wants to keep enjoy the nectar of the Gods, he’s gotta put up with it, huh?
