January 23 2007: Hairy Like ANIMAL!
Filed under Asian-ness & Body & Money
You know the general idea that most people seem to have whereby all Asians are non-hairy and blessed with smooth smooth baby bum skin?
Yeah, doesn’t apply to me.
I seem to have received more than my fair share of both testosterone and oestrogen in birth (thus giving me both big boobies and a tendency to watch pr0n {right Rhi?} and a tendency to be hairy like ANIMAL!). I’m not so worried about the boobies and pr0n…in fact, it’s rather the opposite. But hairy like ANIMAL? Not so good.
For that reason, I’ve committed myself to five sessions of IPL at my local beauty clinic, to be conducted over five months. After that…silky smooth hair free armpits and back forever!
Of course, I am parting with $1000AUD for this. Oh FSM….vanity vanity vanity.

Bikini waxing yesterday. Ouch.
Who on earth said that Asians are non hairy? WHO? I will keeeel them!
Oh but I just saw the IPL picture on Wikipedia. Not very attractive. Painful looking.

haha it’s okay…theory of evolution says we are rather closely related to primates. *sorry, was reading bio* so it’s normal! and Asians – not hairy? it’s totally luck of the draw.

It’s definitely worth it! My Geometry teacher last year talked for agesss on how she was going to get it done. :P
Thankfully, I am one of the typically blessed Asians!

But I like my women hairy!
In fact, I’m harbouring terrorists in my leg hair at the moment… and I like myself.

Eep. Unfortunately, I share the same problem. I’m fondly called by my parents, “My hairy monkey”. It’s not the most… flattering… nickname, I must admit.
I’ll be interested to hear how it goes. You know, so I can keep it in mind when I actually have the money to spend on said treatment (probably when I’m 70 and by then the hair will probably be gone).

Actually, when females get older, apparently testosterone levels rise and we get hairier. So you know. Icky.

So it’s confession time again? Yeah okay, I admit it, I’ve got that same problem. And I’ve seriously considered going through that permanent hair removal treatment too, but I’ll need to save some more money first… A $1000AUD? Jeez. O_O
Plus, it’ll totally hurt like hell. But then again, that’s all part of being pretty.

Once I saw some guy write on a message board that he would only date Asian girls because they’re not hairy like white girls. I guess you proved him wrong, but I would still fall into that “hairy white girl” category. DON’T CHU KNOW, REAL WOMEN ARE HAIRY LIKE ANIMAL. Durrr.

Wow, I would love to do that. No more shaving? That would be heaven.

In the end it will be worth it Amanda, you’ll get rid of all that unwanted hair.
I never heard that Asians aren’t hairy, I guess it’s just all luck of the draw and depending on the genes..

I’m typical azn.. ish. I don’t have black hairs except for on my head, most of it is pretty light. :P
In the end, it’ll be worth it though, right? xD

Oh I’m fine with body hair… well mostly, until summer comes and I can’t wear my sleeveless blouses not to mention swimming suit. Then it’s over to the cosmetician who will STARE (capital letters) at my armpits and wonder if I’ve ever waxed them. Answer is yes: a year ago.
I just can’t really endeavor to pay that much money once every 3 weeks… so now I bought a lotion to use before going waxing… I’m crazy right? Still, it’s so embarrassing, especially since it hurts like hell, yet I can’t really scream – so I sweat like crazy and the cosmetician keeps commenting on it. As if it were my fault. X-| (hates beauty salons)

Reminds me of this show called, “Vanity Insanity.
Ahh… yes. My sister is rather animal-like as well, she’s 7, but inherited my dad’s hairiness. Sob.

Maybe they’re just referring to Koreans? Coz I have a lot of Korean friends and they’re all pretty hairless :-P As for me, I’m not really that hairy. Just on my back, which is probably the worst place to be hairy. My legs aren’t too bad. I’m just glad I’m in a country where you don’t have to shave your legs if you’re a girl. And the treatment? Hm… I might get that for my underarms one day, when I’m rich. So, when I’m 45? Haha! Woohoo for smooth and silky armpits! :)
