To Ariel Shattan:
I feel very encouraged about your item on hairy legs. Mine are also
hairy (as much so as my husbands!) and the hair is black. I have not
shaved my underarms or legs for about 5 years or so. I love my underarm
hair - but I am just getting used to my leg hair (old socialization
dies hard). I used to wear pants most of the time so that they could
not be seen, but I have been wearing skirts lately. Thus, I must
either get used to it or shave (which I refuse). I also *hate*
to wear stocking - they always fall down in the crotch. This winter, I
will try to get long enough skirts to be able to wear nylon knee
socks so that they look like opac stockings. However, in the summer
I have to let it all hang out. I hope you have found this supportive.

I would also like to comment on your P.S. about "bad" contributions
from men. I totally agree! An article from a man on his hairy legs
would indeed be belittling to this discussion. So men, if you have
something serious to say, please say it. Otherwise, keep your nose
out of it.
