Only five days remain until I depart with my in-laws and co. to the Caribbean. This means that I had to do something about my furry “winter” legs and arm pits. Worse, it meant I had to do something about my bikini line if I planned to swim. I so dreaded the thought of shaving that I considered forgoing the clear blue waters of the sea, but then realized I was being completely insane and had to bite the bullet to make the most of my trip.
As I shaved, it occurred to me how dangerous it can be on the bikini trail. Careful navigation with the tool is required. One little slip of the razor, and some sensitive parts could have some unpleasant cuts. I am glad I don’t have to put myself at such risk on a regular basis. I wonder why anyone else would unless they were frequent swimmers. On the other hand, if I was a frequent swimmer, I would definitely buy a pair of boys’ or small men’s swim trunks, wear them over my bathing suit or (gulp) with a bikini top, and avoid the problem completely. I should have done that for this trip, but of course only I thought of it now, and as long as I already subjected myself to the blade, I might as well just wear a normalish suit. Next Caribbean cruise I go on for my in-laws’ anniversary. Right….

You are quiet the jet-setter. You travel quiet a bit.
ReplyDeleteWhich the memories of your trips will sticking with you the rest of your life.
Yeah, I was just gonna reccomend that. Little boy shorts are just as sexy on girls as the bikini bottoms are. But I guess I'm too late...happy shaving! (Oh, btw, even if you do cut yourself in that area, it heals faster cuz the skin is so sensitive...or something like that...)
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with you in general on the whole shaving issue but, given that your stance is what it is, why shave even if you are going swimming? If you truly believe that women should not shave their body hair, why comform just because some of that hair will be visible? Why not stick by your guns and go the way God made you? If this is going to be your crusade, you need to take some risks. Otherwise, you lose some of your right to criticize others (something you obviously very much enjoy doing).
