(Whoops messed up first comment. Re-post.)

Frida Kahlo is feckin' pretty - and how did she end up with that ugly husband of hers? H'anyway.

I have serious curves. I don't know how the hell that happened, as A.) I am white (I am discriminating against myself!), B.) I'm not heavy set, and C.) no one in my blood-related family has them.

My brother used to shave his legs. I have female friends who sometimes put off shaving for days or weeks until they wear shorts or a skirt, too. And these are usually girls with boyfriends. I think underarms are the only instance of a woman not shaving wear people actually have a strong negative response. Underarm hair is just yuck anyway. At least to me.

Since the beginning of civilization, a huge part of a woman's role was to look pretty so a man would take her. So. I'm not surprised we still groom ourselves more than most men.
