I'm thinking of waxing my thighs and bikini because shaving is such a pain. I'm very hairy, when I was little mom joked about the golden fleece on my arms.

I don't shave in the winter and my legs and feet look like a guys. I've dated a guy with less body hair than me I was jealous. I have to shave the tops of my feet and my toes. Not to mention all the other shaving and plucking. I've never had a landing strip or anything like that but Erin's friends sound a bit like me.

Oh my goodness! My childhood best friend just tracked me down on FB! CRAZINESS!

Completely unrelated...my parents REALLY like the boy. YAY!!!!

I know lots of women who are totally hair-free, and it's a popular thing. But the preadolescent appearance is just a squick that I can't get rid of, no matter how many hairless hoo-hoos I see.

You're not the only one with this squick, FWIW. I can't see myself every going hairless for exactly that reason.

Yay for parents liking the boy!

Yay for parental approval of the boy! I'm not surprised that he liked them because vw's parents = adorable.

So happy about the parental approval and that the boy liked them!

I have done waxes for beach vacations, but otherwise I trim. Even though I only have to shave my legs from the knees down, for some reason I have hideous hobbit feet and have to shave my toes, which is hard and annoying.

Yay for the boy likeing!

I once had the weirdest argument with a director over pubic hair-- we did a play with a scene with the really trailer trashy mom in the eighties answering the door in her t-shirt. And the son referances "her bush hanging right out there" and the director wanted her to have a Brazilian with the landing strip. And I am like "um-- I don't think that is correct time period pubic hair." and we had an arguement about it and he one, although I still maintain I was right.

Also, I am half Italian and fair skinned, so of course I have LOTS of dark hair that stands out even more, and, like Askye, look like a man when I don't shave my legs. Frankly, I could probably grow a moustache and maybe a goatee if I hadn't been taking care of that for so long, although a lot of it is the dark hair/light skin thing. There is a Female to Male transgendered nurse in our building, and we joke about me giving him my extra hair (nurses have strange senses of humor in my experience)

Yay for parental boy likeage!

I would love to meet someone who thinks hairy girls are sexy. I miss living in a cold climate and going all winter without shaving. On the other hand I find hairless oiled boys appealing. But then I also like running my fingers over a nice hairy chest. OK I like boys. And girls. I think girls with hairy arms are sexy. I used to work with a woman who had quite a bit of blonde fuzz on her forearms. Drove me nuts when she reached across me for barware.
