to shave or not
she never felt the need to
Despite having hair on her legs it never seemed to be an issue.
She always dressed beautifully
the hair was the least thing you noticed
I loved my Nana
I even loved her hairy legs
This is another page in the sketchbook for the sketchbook project
The theme is "everyone we know"
The thread is stitched into the page and covered with an old stocking

But now if I don't remove the hair in one way or another I look like a man!! Hahaha!
I'm loving your sketchbook project Jafa with all it's big knickers and hairy legs!
:)
Keep on keeping on it looks great.
And I have heard it just isn't for woment anymore!! Men are getting them too!
Will one day soon we be shaving our hair on the head?
That seems to be the last bastion of hair left.
Thanks so much for visiting me and wishing me a happy holiday- it means a lot- my Mom died this Fall and I have been struggling with all the responsibities and such - that I have been a notblogger for a bit-BUT now am back for the new year-2009- Hope it is great for all you and yours- here's to hairy leg creativity!
Sorry for my recent, long absence. Been busy in offline life. Best to you & yours in 2009!
Well I didn't realize folks I was going to cause such an interesting response. But yes it is an issue and I find this obsessive social/cultural demand that we be hairless rather odd.
Many years ago, when I was sixteen, I shaved my legs -- because my sisters always did theirs, and I felt left out of their female bonding.
Silly me! After that one pointless experiment, I realized how lucky I was that I don't have to.
No time, no razor burn, no stubble, no societal pressure to denude the gams -- ever!
Priceless!
When I was younger I used to think hairy men were gross, but now that I am married to a hairy man I wouldn't have him any other way! He's my teddy bear!
Thinking about it, I think it was just a matter of what I was used to seeing - the men in my family aren't very hairy at all. My brother barely has to shave his face and he's 38!
I don't shave and being a southern woman that really doesn't go over well. I have 3 sisters and one actually came at me with a razor during Christmas one year threatening to shave my armpits....She's smaller than me so I won! But it is one of those stories that we laugh at every year.
Awesome post Jafabrit.
eww and i touched it.
My mother had enough native blood in her that she had barely a hair on her body (but lovely, soft hair on her head) so it was some time before I realized I come from a more hirsute part of the family gene pool. I do shave some, but I'm much more relaxed about it than in my 20's.
