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.

I don't shave or wax my legs. The hair is so thin that I can only shave it with a brand new razor, otherwise the hair just moves around. I shave the pits every few days, 30 seconds in the shower. As mentioned, I trim the hoo-hah, and super TMI I get paranoid about a smell during "that time". I'm sure I'm being ridiculous but it makes me feel better Of course the thinness of the leg hair is reflected in the thinness of the hair on my head, which is a bummer. My hair's getting noticeably thinner these days.

Was that Killer Joe, Sophia?

I think it's a matter of context, Laga-- when you meet someone you instinctively find attractive then later on, you find yourself going "buzzah?" and trying to figure out the why of it.

If I had to define a type for myself I'd say tall, lean, dark hair, light eyes.

The Hub has dark hair. Everything else... NSM. *g* Short, stocky, dark eyes. And yesterday, at that Dear Author thing I was featured at, there was a link to a picture that included him and someone mentioned how hot he was. He was blushing like a FIEND when I told him, then looked quizzical and said, "Well, there's no accounting for some people's taste."

After which I slapped him.

And then when I read discussions like this, I wonder -- just how much goddamn hair does the average unshaven cooter have? Because I never shave my bits, and yet the hair is pretty limited

Hah! Possibly because you're blonde, dear. Often blondes have less body hair in general. As someone who has, ahem, seen, several...yes, most have more than that. And some of us are on the hairier end of the spectrum, and what with society being on the "ew hair, gross" kick right now....

Yeah, well society in general needs a sound kick in the ass.

Sounds like a course for Buffista Academy: Kicking Society's Ass for Fun and Profit.

Yes! I forgot you know the playwright! It is a really great play, although I feel the director was maybe trying a bit too hard to a) relate it to Greek tragedies and the house of Atreus and b) be edgy, since he didn't have the actors play there own parts until the end of the process.

It would fill up quickly, I'm sure.

Am I the only one totally amused by the thought that the school's initials also stand for Bad Ass?

Heh. This is both true and not true for me. I am blonde and fine-haired above the waist. Except for my eyebrows, which give a clue about below. Ironically, my best friend growing up was a brunette of partially Japanese descent, and she used to taunt me with her total lack of a need to shave. It's really not an option for me.

I find this conversation deeply unsettling since I have a bikini/upper thigh wax scheduled for tomorrow (and they just called to confirm the appointment as I was typing this). I used to get it done all of the time, but the money got to be too much. Since we're going to be in the tropics and I'm likely to be in a bathing suit a lot next week, though, I thought perhaps it was time. The regrowth on those two areas is much worse for me when I shave than when I wax, so I'm looking forward to the result. Not looking forward to the pain. The upper thigh is fine, but the bikini area is owey. However, I've been referred to this woman in Burbank who supposedly gives the best and least painful Brazilians in LA (she's won awards and shit), so I figure a mere bikini should be easy for her. FTR, I have had Brazilians, and though I like the result, I find the pain nearly unbearable. So, yeah, nsm.
