This is one of those things that I laugh at constantly. Most black women don't shave their legs. Certainly they take care of other parts of their anatomy as far as that is concerned. Now on the other hand, there are some who need to shave and don't -- you see them every once in a while.

When I first moved to Georgia, one of the things that I noticed (and it completely floored me) was the number of women with facial hair (i.e., whispy mustaches) in the South. From talking to other folks, apparently that is something that those women deal with in their own way -- quite a few of them NOT dealing with it. (cringe)

But OTOH, my mother, my mother in law, and She-who-must-be-obeyed don't shave their legs, and (at least with my wife) never have.

But some people (i.e., obviously the woman who wrote this article) need more than an Epilady in their bathroom. She probably needs a Norelco (and no, I don't mean one of those prissy Lady Norelcos), or barring that, a pair of hedge trimmers...

Bingo- this one never has and doesn't need to.
