In a small detour from my "All Cats, All the Time" theme of late, allow me to discuss my feet today. Okay, not my feet exactly, but my toes. Actually, not my toes exactly, but the hair on them. Well, not the hair on my toes, exactly, but the hypothetical hair on the hypothetical toes of a woman who has hypothetically been wearing sandals since the last snow melted in the northeast.
It seems to me that this alleged hair used to get lighter in summer as, ahem, one's skin also got progressively darker from exposure to the sun. Is this no longer the case because of the SPF of jagilliontyleven that people are using nowadays? Or is the hair getting darker, denser, and more indestructible with every year that goes by, until it actually outlives one's mortal flesh?
And, hypothetically, how much do you think it would add to the cost of a brow wax to have the toes done at the same time? One's hypothetical readers and one are dying to know.

Posted by: Karan on June 24, 2008 09:06 PMHair growth slows down as one gets older. I think it's at least six months since I had any need to shave the pits. And the same goes for the legs.
On the other hand, as my hormone balance goes heavier on the progesterone I notice an occasional dark one over the lip. Tweezers take care of that.

Either way, they're not really noticeable (or at least, I can't really see them anymore...poor eyesight and all that!) Don't hate me because I'm beautiful! (*Wink!*)

Posted by: DogsDontPurr on June 24, 2008 11:03 PMHypothetically, my dermotologist would zap that toe fuzz right off with his magic laser gun.
