That would just be cruel!

Ridiculous no?
Anywho, thank you for your comments, I appreciate you saying that I'm attractive because there are some who might think I'm trying to cover up who I am by wearing make up, but to be honest I think it completes me.
I adore your cheekbones in particular!!!

Completely ridiculous, Vanilla! I dated a Turkish man (though not Muslim), and all was great for the first year. Then I started to feel more and more as if he disapproved of me. He'd say (knowing I walked places at night), "If a woman walks at night and gets raped, then it's her fault," for example. Your ex sounds extremely overbearing. And I agree make-up can accentuate features, not really hide them. Except for zits. It hides those!
My cheekbones are definitely getting more pronounced with age. When I'm 80, I'll probably look like Edvard Munch's "The Scream."

Ha ha...just kidding. I simply prefer my bushes to be wild rather than sport the suburban manicured look:

I know, I know! Sometimes I warn people sitting next to me, if they notice something crawling around their neck, just to hold still while I unwrap my hair from its stranglehold on their jugulars.
But now I'm curious: I remember those chops you sported as a youngun. You strike me as someone who might have a heavy dose of good Italian-hair-growing genes in him. So how long is *your* underarm hair? I don't know why people get so weirded out by underarm hair. It's kind of like having two kittens living in your armpits!
What could be weird about that?

You know folks, and I say this to everyone, its ok to be reasonable sometimes. It was hard for me when I left college too.

Reasonable? Reasonable as in drag a sharp blade over your delicate underarms every day, occasionally causing bleeding nicks, just because...other people do it?
HA HA HA HA!
