I’ve given some serious thought
recently to waxing my legs.
Oh, laugh you may, but the thoughts
have indeed been serious. Because of the ever-lingering cold
weather, I haven’t been able to wear shorts much yet (which I try
to do every day it’s over, say, 32 degrees). Since I’m not
wearing shorts, my pants stay on. And since one usually wears socks
with pants; well, let’s just say that the fur on my legs gets
awfully itchy by the time my day is done and my socks get removed.
Loraine laughs at me on a nightly basis as I sit on the bed and
scratch my legs, which leads me to think that, if only to stop both
her laughing and the itching, I should get rid of the hair on my
legs.
Right now, I imagine every woman
reading this is chuckling hysterically. After all, guys have it
SOOOOO much easier than women when it comes to the physical
maintenance part of being an adult; I know some men who just sniff
their pits and, if they don’t pass out, think they’re set for the
day. Women, however, endure the application of makeup, the fixing
the hair on the head, the removal of hair on the rest of their body,
and so much more. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it is.
Now, because the majority of my friends
are women, and because some of them treat me as a close girlfriend,
I’ve been subjected to horror stories regarding hair removal, and I
know that I’m WAAAAAY too wimpy to have hot wax poured on my legs,
much less then endure the pain of having the fur on my legs ripped
off. I mean, maybe my calves and shins; I scrape those up enough
exercising so that I’m thinking they’re toughened up a bit. But
my thighs?
OUCH!!!
I have a low pain threshold as it is,
and I can’t imagine what THAT particular ripping process feels
like, especially as you get further up the thigh. That’s tender
skin up there!
Well, now that I’ve written this and
made myself all squeamish, I guess I’m just gonna have to keep
scratching every night. Well, that, and hope the weather gets and
stays warmer soon so I can start wearing nothing but shorts for four
or five months. After all, that hasta happen sometime soon. . .
Right?
