I believe, with all my heart, that there is a “hair imbalance” in this house. Both girls have WAY more than is required to be a girl, (or even a horse), and it is so long and ultra thick that they get the stares when they go out and people want to touch it. I mean beau-ti-ful hairs. Shiny, glossy, slippery, abundance of hair.
John? Gettin’ a wee bit gray, and a wee bit more sparse on top. The eyebrows are getting wilder every time I attempt to tame them, and I am guessing it won’t be long before there are a few singular hairs sticking out of his ears.
Time will tell.
Then we come to me. I am currently dying all the gray, non-conformist, rat-bastard hairs into submission. That is on my head, anyway. There are other hairs that are starting to give me grief.
The last time I was putting on make up I payed close attention and I swear, God as my witness, I am getting as fuzzy as a peach on my face. I don’t have any dark hairs. Yet. But my once smooth cheeks and, ahem, sideburns, are covered in soft fuzzy clearish looking hairs. Yes, my face is very soft. SO IS A PEACH.
I stood there looking at this. One more step towards the grave. AND, IT IS! I would actually take a picture and show you IF I HAD A CAMERA THAT WOULD TAKE CLOSE UPS.
Gee. You guys don’t know what you’re missing… heh.
Now I gotta go research facial hair removal products. Fun, fun, fun.

I’m 30 freakin 1 and I believe I’m turning into Billy Goat Gruff! Sure it’s just one or two dark plucky hairs every few weeks, but that’s two dark hairs to many! It drives me completely insane! I can feel the little bastards and if I don’t have tweezers on me I’m plucking with my fingers or BBQ tongs if I had to.

Well…. I’m 37 and I’ve been shaving my face with a “bikini line” shaver for at least 5 years (per a dermatologist who told me she did it instead of doing “that much” laser hair removal). It IS like shaving a peach… and some of the little hairs are almost an INCH long. The beard hairs???? HUNDREDS OF THEM. What the hell? I’m 3 chin whiskers away from being a man.
My girlfriends and I have made a pact that when we start getting nipple hairs we’ll be sure to let the other one know if one is poking out of our shirt.

Sorry, I know I’m not supposed to laugh, but all the chin-hair talk around here is hysterical. 🙂
My only hair woe (the only one of consequence) is the single grey hair I have amidst my sparsely populated chest forest. No idea where that came from, but I’m guessing it coincided with that first sleepless year with the now 3.5 year old. Somehow I don’t think he quite cares to take credit/blame for it.

John needs to buy you that camera PRONTO! No more delaying, I mean the world needs to see the facial hair of yours (it’s not gray, right?), not to mention the hairs coming from the ears – we ALL. NEED.TO. SEE. THAT!
John, please go and buy your lovely bride a new camera, please, please, pretty please!
Krissa, remember, no bugs though! 🙂

Can I borrow your tweezers!

I have a small problem with dark (and very coarse) hairs on the right side of my upper lip. Yes, the right side only. I suppose that is better than having them on both sides, but it just seems weird. Late-night informercials ought to have something for you!

My barber has an explanation for the changes in hair-of-the-head in males. It seems that as we grow older, the hair on top of our heads starts to reverse direction and grow down through the top of our heads, emerging from our nostrils, the top of the nose, and the edges of our ears. During the journey, it destroys brain cells as it goes through he brain, accounting for the hair growth in formerly hairless areas and also for the loss of brain function in gentlemen of advancing age. So, there you have it. Nature explained. In response to Nichole’s discussion of “sidedness”, when my chest hair began to turn grey, it was much more apparent on the right side than the left. Strange!

That’s the one place I do have hair. My cheeks. My chin. My freakin’ nostrils.
I want a transplant.

We need to stay in “soft lighting”. No high-def please! I waxed my upper lip the other day, just to see what would happen, and it all grew back again. Thank goodness it’s so fair! But what if it suddenly turns dark and coarse? Ohhhhh, the trials and tribulations!
My ARMS are really hairy too. What’s with that?

I remember the morning I woke up and discovered I had grown a moustache. It sucked.
