Who is this Sasquatch, you ask. Well, it’s me…AuburnChick. Why would I equate myself with a hairy beast? Allow me to explain.
You see, dear readers, I cannot remember the last time I shaved my legs. This morning, I decided, for some odd reason, that it was time to get rid of the Sasquatch legs.
Ewww…gross…you’re probably thinking, right? Yeah, that’s what my daughter has been thinking all winter.
Here’s the thing. Why, if you’re not wearing a skirt or shorts, do you need to shave? My legs have been covered up since November. If nobody’s going to see them, who cares, right?
I’ve looked for a verse in the Bible that states that women must shave their legs. I haven’t found it. Granted, women are told to take care of themselves, but did women of old shave their legs? Somehow, I doubt it.
I also have to wonder…why did God give our bodies the ability to grow hair on our legs? What is the purpose? Surely it was not aesthetic. Perhaps for warmth? I mean, animals have hair all over, and they look quite comfy to me.
Besides all of that, I’m French. I get it naturally.
But I will say, lately my unshaven ankles have been bothering me. I was sitting in a meeting the other day, and I happened to look down and saw hair protruding from my pants’ legs. Uh oh…that is kind of gross. When your leg hair is long enough that it drags behind you when you walk, it’s time to pull out the razor.
So, that’s what I did this morning while in the shower. It took me three shavings to get the first leg done. Pretty bad, eh?
And then…I dropped the razor. The blade came off the top. It’s not a disposable, but it looked like I could put it back together. I snapped the blade on and proceeded to begin work on the second leg. Nothing. Uh oh. I tried again, mashing the razor really hard against my leg. Nothing.
That stupid razor was broken.
Great.
What can a girl do? I am, at this moment, looking at my legs, clad in blue jeans, with hair peeking out of the bottom of one leg. The other is smooth as a baby’s bottom. Lovely. Good thing the drivers license place only takes pictures from the shoulders-up.
