I should also note that today I am wearing a pretty pretty dress, courtesy of Perkins, and a female stranger on the elevator complimented me on it.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a guy want me to get a brazilian. I told him that I would wax if he would.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Boy asked me if I cared if *he* shaved *his* area.
I said no, as long as he doesn't care that I *don't* shave mine.
It's all good.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That`s awesome, Vortex.
I would totally stop shaving my pits if I could get away with it. When our commune living Christian anarchist buddies were living with us, the woman didn`t shave at all and I was jealous.
Yay for pretty pretty dresses from Perkins. I don`t think I mentioned, but I wore my pretty pretty dress from Perkins to the SO`s symphony concert and got a ton of compliments. Perkins is like unto a sartorial goddess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't have any pretty dresses from Perkins, but I do have one she also has, and I don't know if I'm going to wear it anymore because it brought all the boys to the yard, or at least no men seemed to be able to not talk to me anymore.
Well, I guess, at least they weren't telling me to dress differently. But, then again, I'm going to.
FINALLY I have gotten through to the doctor's office on the Ambien topic. I just called the pharmacy, and lo! No refill yet. So I called and emailed the doctor and got an apologetic "I will call the pharmacy" from his assistant. Damned well better work out.
No man has ever spoken to me about shaving. I would...it would not go well. I just don't take well to suggestions of change. I make no apologies.

C'mon, ita! Even with crippling head pain, and low on sleep, you can TOTALLY take a PA.

That's why they hide them, I'm sure.
I'm staring at what's left of my energy drink. Totally verboten at this juncture, but I'm still half-asleep. I should pour it out before I make a bad mistake.

I shave my pits because I prefer it, not because The Man tells me I have to. My lady parts are kept trimmed to my satisfaction, not his. I have never understood why a man would want my genitalia to look prepubescent.
side note: the makeup department had to create merkins for Spartacus: Blood and Sand. However, they did not create pit wigs. Hmmm.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
There is some funny talk on Deadwood commentaries about the actresses stopping shaving and waxing to look authentic in nude scenes and comparing relative hirsuteness.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't think a guy has ever asked me to change the way I dress, or my personal grooming. (The closest was my first boyfriend, who once told me my jean jacket made me look like a feminist. (I don't think that was a compliment) Didn't tell me to stop wearing it, though...)
