I know that back in the day, body hair was needed for warmth. But in today's day and age, I have wool sweaters, blankets and a furnace for that. Why do I need hair all over my legs and arms.
And what exactly is the point of hair on my big toes, my chin and that boob hair that seems to grow at an amazing rate? I mean I see it and I pluck it and then a couple days later, I see it again and it is thicker and it has a friend and if I don't tend to it right then, it will grow more and more and pretty soon it is braided and flung over my should. What is up with that?
Now, I have been shaving, waxing and plucking for years. How come the hair just doesn't get the hint that I don't want it there and stay away. Noooo, it has to keep coming back again and again and again. Why do I have to keep repeating these processes especially on my legs and especially in the winter?
I just do not get it. But now I have to go and see when I can get in for a wax. Because I am beginning to look a little like Wolf Man over here.

I'm calling you Wolfie from now on!
OMG..laughing my ass off. I feel your pain.. right there with ya.
really funny first line. Saw it in my reader right away and was like: OH this is going to be funny.
Oh I am soooo with you on this! Sometimes I think my genes got mixed up with some hairy female gorilla at birth. Then again, I've noticed that the (firmly repressed) monobrow comes from Dad. Maybe he's the one who brought the gorilla genes into the family. Thanks, Dad.
Fortunately haven't yet started the beard thing, but just know that as soon as menopause hits...
I am so over body hair (except the stuff on my head). And plucking a boob hair.......OUCH!
Oh do not fear, you are not alone! Gosh, as if we need it! What I hate the most of all is the bushy eyebrow hair - gosh, when I look in the mirror one morning, I am Mrs. Werewolf herself!
I.Hate.Shaving.
Especially in the winter. When you have goosebumps on your legs even if the water is turned up really hot, and when you run the razor over those goosebumps it hurts like hell and doesn't even get the hairs very well.
Yep, I hate that.
I totally agree with you!!
I also need to mow, er shave today!! LMAO!!!!
Ugh, I hear you, mama! It sucks! My body needs to take a hint too.
Too funny! I ask those same questions too. Thank goodness it's winter b/c I don't remember the last time I shaved my legs...
I hate leg hair. I practically have to shave every day because I don't like the feeling of my legs with hair on them.
I pluck my eyebrows too... actually, usually my hubby does. What a guy, huh?
brooke informed me that when she grew up she would not have hair in her arm pits because that's gross.
LOL! Totally agree!
I'm annoyed by the whole grooming process in general. There's a great rant in Bridget Jones Diary comparing a woman's beauty routine to a farmer taking care of his fields--and if you miss a few days the whole damn thing goes to seed. So true.
LMAO! You are so right about it all...although I don't have the boob hair. At least not yet, since I didn't used to have gray hair either. Ugh.
I'm saying a quick hello to all my fellow Welcomistas!
hahaha! my gosh, you are killing me lately. this is hysterical. and so true...why do we have all that hair? and why is it such a pita to remove it?
I only shave every couple of days in the winter time. It just isn't worth the effort when no one is going to see my legs. And my husband doesn't count, because he doesn't care. I could be covered in hair, just as long as he got to see boobies.
Too funny! Yes, yes, and yes to all of it - not a thing in there I haven't thought or pondered! I just got my lip and eyebrows done earlier this week, with Tyler in tow, the whole way there he kept saying "Miss Kami cut mommy's eyebrows...Miss Kami cut mommy's eyebrows" (Miss Kami cuts my hair) Apparently he thought the eyebrows were especially bushy this time around and in need of Miss Kami's expertise! :-)
I HATE hair.. except for the stuff on my head which i'm becoming to adore.
The rest.. I totally agree with you - how is it NOT getting the hint that I'm NOT INTERESTED!????
Hair maintenance is certainly the most annoying personal care task:-(
ps - hi fellow welcomista!
You raise some good questions. You would think it would stop growing in since we just don't want it. It's so true. I love that you're honest because I have hair in the same places as you do, I am just going to say that here and not over at my place :)
Tell me about it... only now I can barely see my nether regions and am having the utmost trouble keeping everything clean and sanitary. I actually may have to resort to waxing in the next few weeks as I know I won't be able to see around the bump.
Hahahaha....very funny! I believe that women have enough to do in their lives and hair hygiene is another one to add to the long list. It sucks!
BAHAHAHAHAHA I had my first eyebrow wax in December-- I always just plucked them myself. I thought they would do something fancy or make them look better. Nope, they look the same but with less hair. Hmmm... I also just got this Smooth Away stuff to try. Don't you just want to let it all grow sometimes? Men, get to!
OMG...lOVE your honesty... Try an epilady..I haven't shaved my legs in like 23 years... Seriously...Now about your boob hairs...
I feel your pain. Um. ouch you pluck your boob hair. That has got to hurt.
Shaving is almost worse than going to the dentist. ALMOST.
I HATE shaving!
You would think that womankind would have evolved past the point of excess body hair.
Have you ever thought about doing the electrolysis thing? I sure have.
glad i'm not the only one with hair in odd places. i thought i was!!
Too weird, I saw a documentary on TLC last night about a boy in, I think, Indonisia, who had hair like your wolf man friend there... good luck with the waxing. Before children, when I had the money, I would go and get my neither area waxed. Nothing crazy, just the sides cleaned up. Anyway, sorry to much info, but it was awesome, no shaving for weeks!
Feisty
I totally hear you and I am in the same boat!!! I would love nothing better than a full body laser hair removal -- and yes, even my hair on the top of my head. It really does nothing for me other than annoy me so I'd be happy with a good-quality wig.
Oh I got you on this - just don't shave - it grows less and less than!! At least on me - I rarely shave my legs - in the winter - I don't and in the summer I can get away with once a month! My pits - once a week is all I need - I am NOT hairy!
Where is evolution when we need it? Yu are so not alone on this one.,
Oh, how I feel your pain. I have my dad's hair genetics, and my dad is only one step down from apes on the evolution chain. (well, not intellectually, just his hair follicles are.) When I was a pre-teen my dad and older brother once called me Ursula the she-wolf because my legs were so hairy. (although they deny they ever did!) I grow a better beard then my older brother, who got my mom's hair genetics. No fair!!!! I even went in for a consult for laser hair removal only to be told they couldn't do anything for me because I have red hair. The tragedy of it all!
