Brilliant post. I am highly amused. And saddened at all the cuts. Brings back some memories.

I've considered braiding the leg hair in winter, but in the spring, the esthetitians swoon when they see me come in for a wax. It makes the not shaving so worthwhile.

2008-05-09T07:25:00.000-06:00

I did the same kind of sneaky shaving the first couple of times, and one of them I cut a big gash in my leg. Since I'd been trying to be sneaky about it, I didn't want to tell anyone, so I just kept changing the bandages (it was long enough that I had to use 3 band-aids side by side) and bleeding. I don't know if it was deep enough that stitches would have been needed, but I didn't even consider that. I had that scar for YEARS afterwards!

The first time I shaved my legs I remembered thinking, "It would be good to moisturize too. Maybe you can combine shaving with moisturizing."

Nice idea. Poor in practice. I used baby oil (instead of soap or shaving cream). It seems that the combo is not a lucky one, since I ended up with long stripes up and down my legs. The friction between metal, baby oil, and skin creates a distinct burning sensation.

Good to know. :)

2008-05-08T23:13:00.000-06:00

That fact that (I'm pretty sure) the title to this post is a reference to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" makes me happy.

(For the record, I hate shaving. But I hate having hairy legs more than I hate shaving. Le sigh.)

At least you haven't got to shave everyday. My face that is, legs are every fortnight.

villanovababy - I am letting my eyebrows grow in after too many years of overplucking. My eyebrows are very awkward to witness, kind of like watching a teenage girl.

Jenty - Indeed. Good thing we don't wear corsets and powdered wigs anymore.

2008-05-02T14:27:00.000-06:00

Andie Summerkiss - It's because she's a damn hippie. Heheh.

Musing - Indeed. When you find affordable lasering (like $5 lasering), let me know.

Sandy C. - Haha! Sadly, when marriage and kids are involved, it's harder to keep up with the grooming.

justmylife - Yup. The Epilady is like waterboarding or being drawn and quartered. Whoever invented it is a complete sadist.

Amy - I haven't succeeded at waxing. I don't have the patience to let my leg hairs grow for weeks to be long enough to be plucked out. Ouch!

Eve - If we end up in the ER due to entangled leg ...

2008-05-02T14:23:00.000-06:00

Eve - If we end up in the ER due to entangled leg hairs, I demand a sitcom out of it.

LceeL - Bearded ladies are sexy.

Karen MEG - UGH! There is nothing more annoying than a chin hair that it threatening to break through the skin.

2008-05-02T14:22:00.000-06:00

Phil "shaves once a year" - You should get a load of my self-esteem in Zimbabwe.

Kat - Unfortunately, I think I did try Nads or some other knock-off. Awful stuff. Your daughter is already eyeballing your razor, believe me.

Amanda - It's cruel, isn't it? My grandmother didn't shave because she has more American Indian blood than me. Mine is too diluted, so I shave my stubble and shake my fists. Argh.

LOL, what we do in the name of vanity :)

2008-05-02T10:46:00.000-06:00

I'm blond so I can get away with not shaving that often...That being said, I've been known to pluck my non-existent eyebrows into further oblivion. Just cause I'm compulsive like that.

This post made me laugh so hard. You're a crack up. Phil better watch his back... ;)

LOL! I wish I could just be lasered all over and get it taken care of for good.

2008-05-02T01:13:00.000-06:00

I never shave. I started using wax strip very very much later.

Funny about Julia Roberts though. I would do anything to find out why she does that. Or rather, doesn't do that!

2008-05-01T22:36:00.000-06:00

Chris is lucky if I shave once a week. I prefer the waxing treatment, only I like someone else to perform it. I've never been brave enough to wax the pits tho. Scares the bejeebus out of me!

2008-05-01T21:08:00.000-06:00

I remember the epilady! The horror, thanks for the nightmares I am sure to have AGAIN! heh!

2008-05-01T20:55:00.000-06:00

You crack. me. up. :) I too have razor battle scars from early shavings.

Last year my best friend sent me a hair removal mechanism (like Epilady) for...my BIRTHDAY! I took it as a subtle hint that I'm looking a bit wooly mammoth-ish :(

That was truly hilarious..."let me tell you about ...

2008-05-01T19:31:00.000-06:00

That was truly hilarious..."let me tell you about the time your Grandpappy and me had to cut our legs apart. It took a pair of scissors, whiskey, and a hacksaw!"
Where do you get this stuff ;)!!

I have a pesky chin hair I have to pluck every couple of months. Now it just looks like a zit ... a hairy one at that.

lovely.

2008-05-01T18:31:00.000-06:00

My SIL, Rita, SWMBO's oldest sister, lives in Minnestoa and doesn't shave her legs in the winter. By Spring, her husband, the farmer, says it's hard to tell her from the livestock. But he also says, he doesn't mind kissing her through her moustache.

2008-05-01T18:04:00.000-06:00

Very clever handling of the subject! It never occurred to me that you could become entangled with your husband by the leg hairs. That would make a good story for ER. lol

2008-05-01T16:55:00.000-06:00

Ugh, I hate shaving my legs, but I do it anyway! I envy those dainty little women who don't grow body hair.

I never knew Julia Roberts didn't shave her pits. Thanks for sparking my curiosity! I searched and found pictures (ewww!)

2008-05-01T16:32:00.000-06:00

hilarious! I think I started shaving in 5th grade, too. I never tried epilady...or that other famous product "nads." Just me and my daisy razor. My daughter is 10 and I imagine that this is in our immediate future.

2008-05-01T15:49:00.000-06:00

Geez, I hate to think you're shaving your legs because you don't have high global self-esteem. At least you've improved your hair-removal skills since the fifth grade. Of course, maybe the booze helps...
