Please Don't Look at My Legs

I hate shaving. I mean I really hate it. Almost has much as I hate taking a shower (but that's a different post).

The guarantee that I'm going to miss a big spot or cut myself is almost as great as you not being satisfied with that product you just bought off that infomercial. (A vacuum to clean out your ears? Really?)

In this situation having light colored hair is extremely handy, because it enables me to be lazy and not shave as often as I should. Actually, no. I don't have to shave, shaving should be a can do or an able to. Because if I don't want to, I don't have to shave. *gasp* Yeah, I said it. If I don't want to I'm not going to.

I mean who said only women have to shave their legs? Well now I'm intrigued to know so...to the Wikipedia!

Surprisingly enough, Wikipedia didn't have anything on the subject. Luckily, Google is always there for me.

According to the site I found, shaving for women originated with shaving of the underarms because of an ad that was run in Harper's Bazaar magazine (Bazar indeed). The ad showed a woman wearing a sleeveless dress with the caption "Summer Dress and Modern Dancing combine to make necessary the removal of objectionable hair." Eventually as time went on and hemlines got shorter, the idea of women shaving extended to their legs.

Ah, a magazine ad. I should have guessed it would be something stupid like that. Really doesn't surprise me in the least. Especially with the superficiality of the ads today.

While I admit there is a nice feeling to having just shaven legs, it certainly does't last long. If you blink the hair is back. But this time it's worse. It's in the form of stubble *shudder*. The worst part to all of this is that summer is coming up soon. This means that shorts are going to be the only acceptable form of pants because it's hotter than Jake Ryan and Ryan Reynolds combined. I guess this means I'm just going to have to suck it up and waste 72 days out of my life shaving like every other girl *sigh*.
