The Leg Experiment: Confidence
So, in keeping with my tendency to post latently what I have experienced, on Sunday I went to Church. Let me reiterate that I have not shaved my legs since December, so the hair on my legs is quite fuzzy and dark. I had no stockings and no hose to cover up the hair. I did wear a longish skirt and crossed my legs at the ankles nervously, hoping that no one would see and comment. I’m torn between wanting someone to notice and tell me that they notice, as well as dreading the fact that someone might notice and then tell me – excepting those select few individuals who follow me. I consider it an unfair advantage. As always, if anyone saw my legs on Sunday, they did not comment.

Remember: you're part of a sisterhood, and this is a natural rite of passage for every young woman who goes away to a women's college. You have sisters at Smith, Mills, Stern, etc. Do not be ashamed!

ReplyDeletei've noticed, but i was unsure if i had simply missed something and you'd always gone without shaving, so i never bothered commenting. i didn't want to say the wrong thing, so i didn't say anything. anyway, i notice :)
