granted, i'm not the girliest girl you'll ever meet. i don't wear make up very much, i don't do my hair, i wear jeans and a t-shirt everyday. but there are female grooming habits that must be upheld by all women. here is a list of a few. this is not an exhaustive list, mind you, seeing as how i'm not all that girlie. maybe there's stuff out there i don't even know about.
1. facial hair
yes, women get it and we are as disgusted by it as you are. why do you think they make all those creams, bleaches and waxes? every single woman i've ever known has to deal with it. and not just a mustache either. nope, we get whiskers. usually just one or two, but they grow and we get rid of them! hopefully, anyway. there are some women who choose to ignore it and i'm hoping they'll read this. another instance of facial hair is the eyebrows. i have been plucking mine since i was 13. and a word to the men reading this, there is absolutely no shame in plucking your uni-brow. that's all i'll say.
2. toe hair
i know, it's something you guys don't think about, but we women do! when we have pretty painted toenails, the last thing we want is for you to be distracted by a forest of wild toe hair. so we shave it. maybe more ambitious women wax it, but personally, i shave.
3. *ahem* the bikini line
i really don't want to say anymore about this one because i had a recent experience with some wax and it still hurts me to think about it. but i will say that we do try to keep it neatly trimmed down there, not so much for aesthetics, but cleanliness. and i'm not going to get into "that time of the month". we all know that it happens and believe me, there's a good reason why we get so crabby, ok?
i think that's all i'll get into today. i may have crossed the line already. i realize it was all about hair because that's where most of my angst comes from. and i think lots of women would agree with me on that one. feel free to fill in anything i may have missed, girls.

Oh my where to start? LMAO! ok so like I work with this girl who was stuck in the 60's, and I sware to Holly heavesn she did not shave her legs, and It was not like I was looking...YOU COULDNT MISS IT. She wore skirts everyday...and it was long...anywho she finally came around and shaved that shit. Anywho I hear ya on this post...personally I feel like I am a hairy creature and just want it all lazered off!!
we should all embrace our sasquatchism!
I think you know who I'm speaking of. (good times)
you go ahead and embrace away! i'm beating sasquatch off with a stick!
o-natural or neat and trim... give me a bit of both, i'm easy to please!
by the way, T-shirt and jeans are wicked! With little or no make-up makes it even better - there's something about natural beauty!
i am with you on the facial hair. i used to work with a girl named mindy who had a freak-o-nature full stache and beard. she was pale, and the hair was black. YIKES! there was so much of it, i would have gone into debt to get it lasered off. instead, she chose to shave it. bad idea--5 o'clock shadow!
