when having hairy legs is a good thing

i hate shaving. there, i said it. most of my girlfriends and my sister religiously shave their legs. i find every excuse not to. i find it tedious, i always miss a little patch, and it's generally a pain in the ass. tights/fishnets are my friends.

i had 3 first dates this week. i pose the question to myself "to shave or not to shave" before the dates. leg hair for me is like a chastity belt. leg hair keeps me out of trouble. running around DC at all hours of the night drinking boat loads of bourbon with shaved legs can lead to trouble. doing the same thing with hairy legs gives you an out.... "i haven't shaved..."

thank you leg hair for keeping me from making bad decisions in my drunken haziness.

i did shave today... but today was different. 80 degrees and sunny and i wanted to wear a dress without fishnets. plus, my date was at the mall in the afternoon and involved 0 alcohol, so i knew i was safe.
