ugh! i just finished the daily shave in the shower: upper lip, chin, jaw line, neck, and sideburns (starting to see long blonde hairs under my lower lip now). also have the problem on my back, shoulders, chest, breasts, thorax, abdomen, arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, toes... you name it, it's hairy. and to top it all off, the hair on my head is getting thin. the worst part is that no matter how i try to get rid of the abnormal hair (short of trimming - electric beard trimmers rule for body hair), it all becomes ingrown which only compounds the acne problem. i no longer bother shaving my legs, just my face and armpits.

yes, it does and yes, it is. and sometimes they don't even talk, they just stand and gawk. for my first ob/gyn appointment i didn't shave my face for three days - it amounted to quite a crop of hair. from the moment i walked into the waiting room to the time i left, another woman was openly staring at me. i wanted to walk over to her and slap her to snap her out of it. then there was the kid in high school: "check out the sideburns on that chick!" and the little 12 year old boy who told me my arms are hairy. thanks for stating the obvious. it's a pity that ignorance amounts to such cruelty.
