Dare to Bare.

I recently read in a national womens' publication that 67% of American women have gone Brazilian. Pubicly, anyhow. Certainly not publicly. 14% own just a landing strip, 11% prefer a neat triangle and a measly 8% would just rather be au naturelle. So I started wondering----who are these women in the 67%? The young newlywed 2 doors down? The middle-aged divorcee down the street trying to make a sexual comeback? 85 year old Mrs. McGillicuddy around the corner? My mother???? Now there's a visual I just don't need.
And just who decided eons ago that the female body needed any kind of hair removal? I mean, you know it had to have been a guy. Why DO we shave our legs and underarms? And why DON'T men have to do it. I have shaved, I have waxed, I have depiloritorized. I have Epi-Lady-ed til I just couldn't take it anymore and I have recently "Veet"ed. Meanwhile, my husband still has a back that looks like Sasquatch. I can't even begin to say how much satisfaction I would get out of waxing his back. The screams, the yelps, the ouches. YES!!! Payback for all those hairy bars of soap he leaves in the shower.
Sounds fair to me.

Okay, it's official. You've lost it. Too much time on your hands and too much of that in the pool doing nothing. All those visuals are interrupting my train of thought. Just too much information!!!!!!! Hugs, Susan

You know how Jazzman has the polls for foods. How about a poll for this? I bet some of the answers will surprise you.

To add to the insanity, my friend a 30 something actually went to a spa--bared all--and had a wax that even included her chocolate whizway. What's that about?

Susan, you are too funny! unfortunately, I no longer have a pool. :o(
This is my first summer in 18 years without one. I'm holed up in my condo with just a fountain on my deck. Whaaaaaa!
anonymous: I can only guess what that's all about. No dingleberries?
Jan, Erma Bombeck would be spinning in her grave, right now, I'm afraid.
