I am a yeti, a monstrous, hairy, minging yeti.
I have been growing my body hair. Well, not growing it so much as neglecting to remove it. It grows a little and then I shave it off, but I ran out of razors and didn’t find the time to buy any more and The Mechanic doesn’t care anyway. By the time I got around to buying them, it was long enough for me to think “hey, I may as well wax” but not quite long enough to do it last weekend. So, as I have been travelling up and down the country this week, I have been short on time and I thought I’d just get it dealt with at the weekend at a little salon in Blandford that I have been to before.
Obviously, this means another week of no shaving while the hair grows all the while.
Ming!
I have pits to rival Julia Roberts and if I were to be so stupid as to wear a skirt and let the legs out, I would promptly be herded up by zoologists claiming to have at last found Bigfoot. Although, that said, my feet aren’t very big. My hands on the other hand, crikey, I think they are huge!
But I digress.
So I am all booked in to be de-fuzzed and quite looking forward to it. Apart from the pain aspect. There is nowt so painful in this world than having your underarm fur ripped out. Not even the bikini line tops that.
And on Thurs 25 July I am booked in to my favourite little salon to get a cut and colour, which sounds a bit like a cut and shut, but involves more hair dye and fewer cars. Then I will be beautiful again.
If a little fatty.

heheheh owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww x
I’ve never actually had underarms waxed – shaving is way easier but just recently my friends have really recommended it. Pop some paracetamol and it should numb the pain a bit… x
ooooh ouch. I can’t do waxing. I can do tattoos but not waxing!
And sorry, but I don’t know how anyone can let their under-arm hair grow…i shave it every day! Longer than that and it’s just too uncomfortable! Itchy itchy.
Sometimes being a girl is crap. Especially in a hot country. Under-arms every day. Legs every other day and bikini line every 3ish days.
What are you getting done to your hair, anything exciting? x
I am too lazy to shave every day/every other day. I sleep in too late and get home too late!
I usually have a short layer of fuzz, but as I said, TM doesn’t care.
As for the bonce, well… MORE BLONDE and a trim. HURRAH!
laser is the way forward….:)x
I can’t do waxing, although I’ve never tried it. I just can’t imagine the pain. I do my eyebrows, and that’s where I stop. Too funny though – I just had to shave last weekend as I was about a hairy as that! It’s hard to shave in a 2′-6″ shower stall, where I can hardly bend over to get my shampoo off the floor, nevermind trying to shave!
The highs and lows of reading this blog, all in one week. From a discussion on double D’s to musings about excessive body hair, both left me curled up in the fetal position sobbing quietly for very different reasons.
eyebrow waxing doesn’t hurt a great deal and I’ve never tried any other sort.
As to the Mechanic not minding, well The Sous Chef not only not minds, he prefers me to keep it all on. He thinks shaved armpits are horrid and bumpy and look ridiculous when bald, so he prefers to see some fuzz there. Not in a fetishist kinda way, he just says it’s natural and womanly and sensual.
Unfortunately it means I tend to keep it all there (trimmed, mind) and then can’t wear (or don’t feel brave enough to) all those summery tops. You try finding a top this time of year that isn’t capped sleeve or sleeveless? I actually stopped going to salsa because I have no long sleeved tops I can dance in that don’t look like gym clothes. So we’ve compromised. I shave it all off in the summer and it keep it all intact in the winter. He still doesn’t like the way shaved armpits look, though. I can kinda see his point but I’m a victim of society on this one and can’t bear the thought of people thinking I’m minging. Why can’t we choose? we can choose to wear trousers or skirts, have long hair or short and yet hairy bodies are non-negotiable.
Gawd, under-arm sounds hideous… that skin’s all soft and stuff! Ugh.
Laser treatment on underarm/upper lip is meant to be all the rage at the moment!
I’m glad I’m male.
Laser…. ugh… I had my ladybits lasered a couple of years back… brazilian.
Lovely now, hell at the time.
But the PERMANENCY! And smoothness…
Again… male… hooray!
What is wrong with having a permanently smooth ladyregion?
Nothing! I was in favour of both!
And pics. Lots of pics.
Nice try sunshine.
By the way, I like your beard.
Look, I’ve already told you, nothing can happen between us, not while the Mechanic is still in the picture.
(But thanks. You can play with it, if you like)
I think you have a better beard than he does, actually.
That’s because, despite my penchant for pink and dressing up like a girl, I’m ALL MAN, BABY.
Grrr
laser surgery scares me… way more than waxing… painFUL….
I’ll wax you if you like. I used to wax my Ex’s various body parts. The process began with alcohol and ended with much giggling. Hair was usually removed in between.
The wife got laser hair removal on her ladybits and didn’t think it was too bad. It left her a bit raw for a day or so but nothing unmanageable. Nothing to be nervous about.
Damn it. I was wandering round Sainsburys before thinking I’d forgotten something and not being able to remember what it was.
It was Veet.
Damn it.
This made me laugh so hard, a little bit of wee almost made it out. Almost.
Oh god. How I love being smooooth and hairfree, but how I hate being waxed and veeted and shaved and… oh to be a mad! (but to be a man I must put up with the hair and… eugh!)
I’m venturing to a new waxist next week. Keep posted for news on my Twat Waxes From Hell.
Ha, man, not mad!
Bren – I appreciate the offer, but I’d rather you didn’t see my hairy bits!
This blog post made my day! LOL! I experienced the underarm waxing a while back. All I can say is OMG. I have never ever felt pain like that, and I have had broken bones before. xoxo
