I also think that you shouldn't tell a woman that she has a long hair on her face unless you're willing to let her use your tweezers! LOL
Just my opinion---

ROFLMBO! This is too funny and so close to home! I thought I was the only one whose mirror and tweezers were a permanent fixture on the coffee table while watching tv! Thank you ladies for the laughter! Love ya all!

Oh thank God I've found a place to hang out where people won't be pointing and laughing at my chin hairs. Unfortunately, I'm very allergic to Nair, wax, Nads, etc. and every time I've tried using any of those products I've had the skin blister and peel and it usually takes a good two weeks to heal. So, I walk around looking like an idiot. I've got hairy toes, hairy fingers, a hairy face and arms that would match a gorilla. I've had hairy arms since my teen years. I pluck and pluck my chin hairs, shave my toes, use the Sally Hansen gentle hair remover on my fingers and for my arms, I have this thing with rotating things like sandpaper. Works pretty good, but if I let it sit in one place too long I end up with sores on my arms. I hadn't had a period since last August and spotted a couple days in February and doc says I gotta start the count all over again. I've been doing this for over 4 years now and the hot flashes are getting worse now. But I feel so much better now knowing I have such good company!!!

I pluck everything that's not supposed to be anywhere there's something that doesn't belong there! I have noticed that there's less in the eyebrow area to pluck, but what's there has a will of its own & likes to stick up. Mousse works great at taming it.

Yes, it does go gray too! Always wondered why no one ever mentions it! Thought I was just "weird".
