I have one that grows under my chin. I was at a conference, talking to a young male colleague who was in a wheelchair. He was staring up at me in horrified fascination. I couldn't work out why, until I went to the ladies and found it! About three inches long and black and curly. A stray from down under, I call it.

Hoooooo too funny. I get my eyebrows, chin and upper lip waxed regularly, but not often enough. Tweezer maintenance in between. That one rather long black hair that grows out of one of my appendages gets plucked. Nasty this stuff menopause brings.

Its the moustach that happens after 40 - my BFF has names for that- there is the "Juan" that is the thin line above the lip - then there is the "Pedro" which is the ones that grow at the side of the mouth and then the worst is the "Juarez" which is all of them together. I usually go about twice a month to be waxed cause of the "Pedro".

I was at the dentist one day--he used his little camera thingy to show me a tooth that was cracked and needed a crown--but when he was showing me my tooth on the big TV screen above my head--to my horror, I saw, magnified at least a million times, my mustache :oops: Now I make sure to wax whenever it grows back. I had no idea it was that bad! I bought a little wax kit from WalMart and just do it myself. It only cost a few dollars and it paid for itself the very first time I used it.

My eyebrows seems to be getting thinner though....so glad not to have a period but why all these other changes. Now that doctors are saying hot flashes are good for women our age I can't complain about them....well...maybe just a little bit....

One hair on the chinny chin chin???? Baaaaaaa
One day I pluck, two days back, black and white. I use a wipe on wipe off, smoother, but then the pimples show up..I am thinking of waxing, but, you have to have it long right? Could never wait, feels and looks awful ! We are so lucky right :mrgreen:

yes, this is one of the parts of getting older I do not like. I bought one of those little pencil like shavers and use it to say goodbye to the moustache and peach fuzz. They seem to stay away longer and I hate to pluck. Oh, and they have "NOT" come back in darker or thicker.
