Bodily Hair

We're officially in summer now. Women and men alike don skin revealing clothes such as short shorts, tank tops, spaghetti strap dresses, sandals etc. I am no exception. However, I noticed recently how hairy my legs are. They are not furry hairy but with my fair skin, the hairs stand out. I had never given them much thought until I looked at my friends' legs. Smooth and shiny! How did they do that? I asked them. "They've always been like that," they answered. Genes! I should have known.

Since, there aren't many (I can count them and they should number less than 100) hairs, I am going to try to pluck my legs in the shower tonight. I tried earlier without preparing my skin and it hurt. No joke. Perhaps I'm just a wimp but I still yelped when I yanked a piece out.
