Really? I hated looking for a new job this summer! I get all nervous and insecure, though I think that's because for all my previous jobs, I never had to submit a resume or do an interview or anything. That whole process makes me very nervous.Quote:

And motherhubbard, good luck to your husband as he makes this decision. It's tough to get the offer of a job you'd like-but for less pay. Ugh!
nope. occasionally i'll tweeze 'em though.Quote:

The other day I was out and about wearing my cute strappy sandals when I happened to bend down and noticed I forgot to shave the ol' toes. Mostly my big toes, the hair tends to be rather coarse and can grow quite long, one day I'm going to experiment and see just how long my toe hairs can get.
Dont worry you are not alone... thats happened to me a few times and then i get like "can people see that?"... think a lot of women have hair problems. :) I know some that have facial hair problems. we arent these perfect, hairless, smooth skin goddesses mags make us out to be. :)Quote:

Dont get me started! upper lip, arms, underarms, big toes, legs, bikini line, eyerbrow (shaped perminantly no more plucking!!!)... the lot!
At the mall the other day they were selling an at home laser hair removal kit. :alien::eek: Somehow I don't think I would trust myself with that thing.Quote:

Waxing rather than shaving it lasts longer :nod:Quote:

Ruskin was a genius, he was so clever and insightful he forgot to tell Millais to stop interfering with his wife. Then again, Millais was not so worried about pubic hair. Aaah the life of an artist. It almost makes you want to weep. :)
Go get em Virgil. :lol:Quote:

Yeah really, the things we do for you people! ;)Quote:

I have them then I grow them out then I cut them off... I'm never satisfied! Right now I have some in spots. Looks better than it sounds. It's working for me anyway.
I wear bangs. I'm always trimming mine which annoys my hairdresser.
HI girls!
I'M BAAACK!!!!
The wedding was a success, the honeymoon was even better...heh heh...and life is sweet. I can't complain at all.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that my husband...ahem..my husband [no longer fiance!] and I are still on vacation from work. No matter, I'm enjoying it now while I have it.
How are you guys? I still won't be around as frequently, as yet, at least.
for those of you who want to see pics from the wedding, check the photo album on the profile page.
Oh, Tournesol, you made a very pretty bride. Your gown was lovely. And your husband is quite handsome, too. Best wishes for a wonderful life together.
The 2 of you make a beautiful couple. Wishing you years and years of happiness!!!Quote:

Who says we feel guilty and ashamed?:D;)Quote:

I could post something long and arduous about societal norms imposed by male owned and operated media, but I won't because I've done that a million times, and I think that you can see where I'm going with it anyway. :sick:Quote:

When I had bangs I always looked okay, but I never looked stellar. It was also a hassle to keep them flat and strait when I got out of the shower.Quote:
