By my seasonal weed whacking of my leg hairs. If it’s too cold for me to bare my legs i am simply not going to shave them I’m just going to wear tights. I leave little whiskers on the backs of my ankles because i nicked myself there once or twice and saw my life flash before my eyes. I read that Taylor Swift shaves her legs every day and I thought wow I could never be her. I bought an epilator once and the pain was so extreme it made me cry and every time I turned it on I felt like I was in SAW.
My mom told me growing up that I didn’t have to do anything with body hair that I didn’t want to. I resented her for not trying to enforce gender norms into me and tried to power through it and shave my armpits for a few years to avoid social ostracism but eventually I gave up. The skin there is so sensitive and I hate the way it feels when the hairs are growing back! I haven’t shaved them in more than ten years. Not in a bold political statement dying my armpit hair blue way! I use Weleda spray deodorant. I was always jealous of girls I grew up with who had thick hair on their actual arms because i thought it was so beautiful like delicate little feathers.
I pluck my eyebrows hairs into oblivion and I refuse to relinquish control to another to thread or wax them for me it’s my outlet for my neurotic tendencies. I have a single hair that grows on my face now that I’m approaching 30 and I like to see how long it can get before I grow tired of it and pull it out his name is Harry.
I won’t get into anything else but I will say that I read in an Into the Gloss profile years ago that Emma Watson oils her pubes with Fur oil and I think about it all the time

👙Today I paid a stranger $128 to methodically rip out all the hairs off of my legs, arm pits and entire downstairs, including a butt strip. I am what they call a "seasonal client." And while I believe that beauty standards are made up garbage and everyone is entitled to doing whatever they want with their own body, I enjoy waxing in the summer. Not worrying about hair when I'm getting ready to go to the beach only really lasts for about a week. The senesation of having no hair for a week is tippy as hell, and what no one seems to mention is the grow back period.
My hair grows back softer than it would if I shaved, and I feel like some kind of beautiful forest creature. Natural body hair on a woman is actually so feminine and erotic and underrated, and I wish I could let my body be in a natural state in a bikini without being scrutinized by strangers. The public eye is such a bummer right?

🌳this is especially for women and other ppl socialized female who feel they must remove all body hair. but also for men and other people who may feel they aren’t allowed to remove their body hair!! literally none of it matters you should do what you want. grow it all out, wax your legs but not your pits, rock a unibrow but no sideburns, grow a stache and a bush, shave your arms and pluck your brows to be skinny, etc. it‘s natural and it all grows back if u experiment!!!!!!

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
