And the thing is,
What is the thing?

Is there a thing?
Or just no thing?

If there's no thing,
Does it matter?

And do I care,
Either way, anyway?

Guess The Google

If you do one thing today, let it be Guess-The-Google.

Currently my personal best is 199.

I am rubbish, but obsessed.

"What's Wrong With A Few Wisps"?

There's a minor flurry of debate on Barbelith about whether or not one should wax, shave, or basically delete one's pubic hair.

Yesterday I neary took all the skin off my armpits whilst trying to wax them, I mean seriously. They're red-raw today and the pain of applying deoderant is almost akin to what I imagine it must be like to put a Styptic pencil on piles. Not that I have piles. Or a Styptic pencil. I was just searching for a metaphor. So anyway, TBM said, "I don't know why you do it." And I was stuck for an answer. Because hairfree women are more beautiful? Because I'm not Swedish? Because a forest of pubic hair is not the sexiest thing I have ever encountered in a woman?

Or Because Men Like It.

Men like (relatively) hair-free women. And I really think that even if they say they don't mind your hairly legs/pubic region/armpits/ I'm not sure they're entirely telling the truth. I have had several men say this to me, but I don't actually think they could, in reality, really cope with a "few wisps."

Or in my case, a whole sheep load of wisps. I am in fact Beatrice Dalle in Betty Blue if I don't wax.

It occurs to me that I've been considering this problem for a while, but what most perplexes me is this: How do porn stars keep so hair-free? They can't be shaving since at some point they would surely have shaving rash, and they can't be waxing since they would at some point surely have ingrowing hairs. They would.

So how are their legs so perfectly smooth, their armpits so free of stubble, and how, how is their pubic region as soft and as hair-free as a baby's...

Well, lets not go there.
