Bearded Lady No More!

I am a self-proclaimed Yeti.  In 4th grade, I came home from the school bus in tears because some girls on the bus pointed at my hairy legs and yelled "Monkey Girl!"  In college my hairless friend Ed pinched my forearm and said "You have the right to BARE ARMS!  Get it?!" Eight days before my wedding, an Indian salon worker [while threading my eyebrows] noticed my arms and said 'Beautiful girl... with all that.. THAT HAIR!" and then she slapped hot wax on my wrist and ripped off a giant patch of my fur... This lead to 2 women taking me to a back room and forcibly waxing the rest of my arms.

I've used it all: razors, depilatories, waxes, wax strips, threading, sandpaper buffer, tweezers, scissors, electrolysis...  It's a never-ending battle.

Fortunately, I recently discovered the magic of the 'As Seen On TV' lady trimmer 'Finishing Touch.'   It keeps my out-of-control peach fuzz in check, my hobbit toes trimmed, and the hard to shave areas like ankles and behind the knees de-fuzzed.

Until I find a way to pay for total body laser-hair-removal, the Finishing Touch keeps me out of the circus side-show.

Pros:
  • Effectively trims and removes hair without irritating or cutting the skin.
  • Pivoting head and light option make even the trickiest follicles easy to see and destroy
Cons:

  • It's a bit loud and looks very much like a small vibrator... So it could be embarrassing or sexy, depending on your point of view and audience.
