*grin* I wonder if one could dye leg hair and make it a fashion accessory?
Like, I dont know- dying it blue, and plaiting it and adding little sparkling bows?
All you'd have to do is convince one celebrity to do it...

I don't know if I could persuade my leg hair to grow quite long enough to plait, but you could always perm them to aide the natural curl like the Cat does in Red Dwarf!

Do Emily and Florence qualify as bearded ladies? And I'm sure that they could give a few tips on leg hair - something give me a feeling that it may be more of an issue for those "guys".

No idea!
Up to you, I suppose.

Late night ramblings of a stressed and tired mind.

Please discount anything I have said, and will say for the next few weeks!
I have several thousand words and assignments to finish and job applications.

Who are Emily and Florence when they're at home?

Emily and Florence are from Little Britain, Matt and David as men in drag with beard. Sorry I should have been a little less obtuse.

That's who they are when they're at home, but what about when they're at the shops, or visiting friends?

BibwitHart, sadly this forum has no discounts available on words. I'm sure you can make something constructive of your unfinished ones, if need be.

Or take them down to the WOLP and try to get some ducats on the black market...

(still have no real idea who Emily & Florence & Matt & David are)

Wait, do we ever find out what currency they use in the WOLP? I thought it was intentionally vague, or intentially variable.

Re leg warmers - home grown.

Once knew a lady who had fast growing blonde leg hair.

For a joke she once went a few weeks without shaving her legs then shaved above the knees in a 'top of boot' fashion and shampooed ans brushed luxuriant growth below.

When she went out she wore a just short of knewe length skirt and sheer stockings.

She said the effect was quite striking, and got a lot of looks from persons of all sexes who wondered what she had done.

Andy, I don't think we ever find out (anyway, 'round here ducats is sk8r speak so it works as a generic term).

Bun, I would need photographic evidence before I'll believe that story.

I haven't missed Little Britain.

In fact when it is not on, ! don't miss it at all.

Re Leg Hair.

Katy Lette (I think -as book is in store - ie, can't find it) described the agonies of a brunette with dark leg hair. She describes all kinds of attempts to solve problem. I recall her comment that using wax strips merely made easy landing places for the mosquitoes.

I shall look for book after tomorrow - Bathurst day - and give more accurate quote and refence.

I once had a ten year old boy try and torture myself and boyfriend by pulling out our leg hairs- gives an incentive to remove them!

I guess dark hair would be tough, I don't mind leg hair to be honest- my boyfriend objects mildy- It is mostly stubble look I dislike!
Blue leg hair could be attractive?
Anyone game to try it?
Send us a pic!
