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.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

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.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Oh goody, are we starting rumors? I heard that Bush's tummy virus this morning in Germany was a hangover.
