I have to give a Holla! to Mo’Nique. Yay, Mo’Nique!
Not because she gave an amazing performance in Precious which I have not seen yet but heard it’s great and it’s in my queue. Not because she won an Oscar on Sunday. Not because she’s inspired me to change my name to Wen’Dy. Not even because she told Barbara Walters about her open marriage which I could never handle without turning into a crazy-eyed, sleepless stalking beeyach.
No, it’s much simpler. It’s this:
Leg hair.
I know, men, you no likey. Well, as the hubs’ aunt says, “toughsky shitsky.”
What we women don’t say (although we may blog about and post photos of it…) is that shaving your legs is a pain, and in winter, especially, maybe we want a little more warmth, right where all that cold air comes up.
Particularly when you’re so fashionable with the bootcut pants that act like a wind tunnel in a winter storm.
Guys, if you really don’t like the hair, my advice to you is to get her some soft, fuzzy, KNEE socks. According to one study, it improves chances of orgasms, so everyone will be happier.
Besides, the older I get, the prouder I am that hair is growing nicely somewhere on my body, rather than thinning, graying, falling out and/or never returning.
Raise your hand if you’re with me on the hair! Oh, pit hair, too, I see!

I can’t stand the pit hair…but the leg hair? Meh, I admit to becoming a whole lot lax about that during the winter. Of course, by the time I get around to taking care of it in short/skirt weather, it requires a lawnmower to get through it all!
Men who insist that women HAVE to shave their legs baby butt smooth every day should be required to shave their OWN legs baby butt smooth every day for a year.
I saw the picture before reading the blog, so I was seriously expecting some sort of post about dressing in drag. Those are man’s legs!
But I’m with you 100% on the no shaving during winter subject! It has, however, come back to haunt me on occassion. Like the day I was running really late and didn’t remember until the last minute that I had to get my kids to a party at the Aquatic Center – and I had to GET IN with my youngest. I’m sure there were a number of grossed-out moms sitting in the kiddie pool with me.

jenn, i love that you think leg hair is ok, but pit hair is gross! interesting distinction!
brooke, not the kiddie pool w/hairy legs! eeeewwww!
So funny! I don’t know if I could leave the hair on my legs. My cankles are bad enough…why add hair!
I love that she did this!
I don’t care how much of a pain it is. Just say no to leg hair. Not that the stubble is hawt either…

I am soooo with jennyonthespot on this one. Stubble, yes! Lax in winter? Yes. Man legs. Noooooo!
Monique had both me and the hubs gagging on Oscars night. Her man puts up with those legs for two reasons and they are called open marriage and money. Heh!
BTW It’s all about me and has nothing to do with my husband. Honestly, I would love for him to say something about the occasional stubble because then I’d have to bring up his troll toes, gorilla back that he hasn’t waxed in 6 months, and the hairy spider crawling out of his nose that he refuses to do anything about. He never does though or he’d only get lucky once a year rather than once ever 3 months. Heh!!
Yes, it’s true. I’m a total hair-a-phobe. Guilty!
We don’t even want to talk about lady pitt hair–shudder!

but hair on the legs distracts from any less than perfect qualities in that vicinity…
at least the “man hair” feels nicer than stubble, softer and all, but i’ll probably succumb to peer pressure soon if the weather stays warm…
I stopped shaving during pregnancy. The baby was born on New Year’s Eve, and I haven’t gotten back into the habit yet. I keep trying…but it’s my lowest shower priority. Poor hubs.
I’m ok with the pit hair actually. Mine doesn’t get too long or disgusting. I’d stop shaving altogether if I could get away with it…
