Simple Pleasures

In 1999, America’s sweetheart Julia Roberts attended the London premiere of her film Notting Hill, and for a split second lifted up her arm to wave to her fans, inadvertently revealing a dark undergrowth of hair. Roberts’ fuzzy pits triggered reactions of unspeakable disgust — a writer from Britain’s Mirror likened them to “two clumps of seaweed,” while The Independent ran a debate on the pros and cons of Roberts’ personal hygiene habits. Assessing the backlash, Roberts later said, “You would’ve thought I had a chinchilla under there.”
It was around the same time that I was undergoing the routine humiliation of middle school when I overheard some of the girls in my grade speaking in hushed tones about a fellow student who – to their shock and dismay – braided her armpit hair. By refusing to shave after the onset of puberty, she was breaking the law by adolescent girl social codes, and deemed particularly ripe for ostracization.

I feel sad somehow."
I feel certain Laz's response will be indicative of his refined, discriminating taste, as always. He is a man amongst men.
There are porn websites that show women who don’t shave anything. Uh, I mean, I’ve HEARD about those websites.
Uck. Not high on my list of things I find sexually attractive.
Somewhere around Madeline Albright, Janet Reno, and the 100 year old troll who used to work the WH press pool.
Ummmmm... no.
FWIW, I really don't care one way or the other if somebody shaves there. Your skin isn't exactly smooth in that region and the probability of getting a razor bump is quite high, so I prefer to skip it.
There are porn websites that show women who don’t shave anything.
What I find more disturbing is there are men who shave and/or wax everything! Yeeeoowwwch
You. I see what you did there.
You. I see what you did there.

Well stop beating around the bush and tell me what’d I do?
So gross! Eeeew!
“We have bush! We have bush!”
I love it and her im kinda a cave man
I get the ping to Laz but why Slings? Does he shave the armpits of kitties? Hmmmmm?!
Too late, I had a man come into my workplace already whose nose hair protruded out his nostrils about half an inch and was as thick as his nostrils. It was bushier than my mustache!
Slings does the NAPL list. I thought it was a NAPL.
If he shaves his kitties arm pits , well, kitties are the exception to the rule.
(I really like the NAPL ping, I hope you do too)
Some people have too much time on their hands.
Here we go, back to college in the 60’s.
That's just not natural. Men are not supposed to have smooth chests. Males who wax are so ghey.
A couple of years ago I needed to replace my ladies electric shaver, the cord was about to break from the shaver (shaver wasn’t separate from the cord). So, I looked on Walgreens website and was taken bu surprise.
There were only two electric shavers on there - the rest was creams and tools for removing hair. The customer comments were amazing - they were using these tools and bearing the pain: Comments like, “This one doesn’t hurt as much as the other one.” Hurt? Why are young women buying items that hurt when they want to remove hair?
Due to only two electric shavers on there, I decided I’d better buy one quick before ALL of them were gone and the only thing left would be those that jerk out hair.
Young people today have no sense.
