i’ve been noticing lately that when i go to public places like restaurants sometimes people blatantly stare at my hairy legs and whisper and laugh about it with their friends. so i’ve started to confront these strangers so they know that i notice their staring because its rude. if they’re making me feel uncomfortable i’m going to make them feel uncomfortable right back.

i abhor shaving and i feel better about myself since i stopped shaving and im not going to let other people police my body

My seahorse sneakers rule! And so do my hairy legs!~

summertime legs

I have hair from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.  I grow it out during the winter for insulation (I live in Minnesota where it’s COLD) but shave it during the summer to keep cool.  It’s starting to get warm here and I’m starting to over heat so it might be time to take out the razor (but with the amount of hair that I have, a belt sander might be better).

Here’s my fuzzy Swedish legs! This will be the first summer with hairy legs.. stopped shaving nov 2012.

Hello! These are my legs after about 3 or so months of not shaving. I get a lot of crap for it from my family, but I’m a 21 year old woman, I’m old enough to make these decisions for myself by this point. I started shaving my legs in the 6th grade because my mom and aunts would tell me I’d be unflattering otherwise. I’m glad I realized early on that hair is just that, hair, and that it does not get to the root of who I am as a person if I decide to leave it as it or remove it. I’m also glad that I know people close to me who feel the same way!

I haven’t shaved my legs in at least two years, probably three, possibly four. I’ve lost count. I really just got sick of doing it. I’m still a bit weird about showing them off though, because I DO care what people think of me. But every time I see another girl in public with hairy legs I think ‘yeah, right on!’ so I should just get over it and flaunt ‘em, really :-)

Heels ‘n hair

So I’ve submitted before but here goes anyway.
