I haven't shaved my legs since fall 2005, either - I don't in the winter, and then last summer I gave myself a bye because of the whole immensely pregnant thing, and now I am lazy. I like the feeling of shaved legs - I just don't like the shaving. (And wax? Hells no.) For a blonde, I am pretty hairy, actually.

Theo, I have heard that half an inch is the amount of leg hair they want to wax at a salon. Though you could call 'em.

is there any rule of thumb on how long hair must be before it's waxable?

I've heard three weeks of growth for the legs.

It depends on the salon, IME. I've never been able to do a very good job with the at-home kits, personally -- keeping the wax hot enough is always tricky, and there are parts of my legs I just can't reach as easily as someone else can. (I've also realized, unfortunately, that my leg hair grows back way too fast to make waxing worth it, because I do love the feeling. But even in the land of cheap salons, I can't afford to have it done as often as I'd need to.)

It has to be pretty long, I think. Which is why every winter/spring I toy with the idea of waxing to start the season, but then I can never go through with it.

Jess, I just saw there's going to be a Sam/Ilan cook-off in Union Square some day next week -- at noon, so since I couldn't go, I forget exactly what day it is.

I can't remember the last time I wore hose.

I'm an intermittent shaver. Never over the winter, and maybe once every 4-6 weeks in the summer. It helps to be blond.

Aw, man, I'm missing all the fun stuff this summer! Stoopid baby.

[I just checked out the Bryant Park summer film schedule, and they're showing Annie Hall next Monday. It's like they're trying to torture DH & me.]

OMG the Federer/Davydenko semi is rocking!

I need to see it!

I wear hose occasionally, though I don't have to. Bon's post reminds me that those days are usually when I realize right before work that I haven't shaved in too long.

I don't have the balls to do the home waxing - can't rip it off as decisively as you need to.

Top Chef: ITA about Dave. STFU. Also, Marcel totally knew what was going to happen when Ilan got the duck. He just happened to be fine with it. (Frankly, I was too.) But I was kind of disapointed that Harold didn't make a better showing.
