I am depilated. It took an entire tube of Nair and some leftover Sally Hansen, but it’s done. I pretty much never get all the hair off my legs anymore, but I did it. It’s the societal pressure thing…if I’m going to be romping around in a bikini (which I am), I don’t want to have hairy legs. I used to get waxed sometimes, but that takes both time and money. So instead I spent a couple of hours doing it at home for $7.99. My legs may be covered with hives and still burning in places, but I still got it done!

I’m a bit ticked off, though, because that stuff eats your fingernails, too. I spent so much time with the cream on my hands and washing and so forth, that my nails are now paper-thin and won’t last. This pisses me off because I’ve been keeping them nice for a few months in expectation of getting a manicure with a fancy color of nail polish. A says I can just get tips put on and it’ll be fine, but I’m annoyed with the Nair anyway.
