Hec gave me his Fetishes and Cultural Expectations 101 lecture and talked me down

Fetishes and cultural expectations are all well and fine; I just don't care for the double standard. One gender's hairy private parts are not inherently ickier OR cleaner than the others.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hope you read this article for work at your medical-y place, and not for any type of FUN.

Ha -- I read about that on Gawker!

Also, I found out why my one coworker was so laissez faire about the work I need her to do -- she thought the deadline was Friday, not TOMORROW. Oy.

The status is NOT quo.

It's not feminine to remove body hair. It's just what you have to do.

ACK! ACK!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been saying "Dude, I'm fucking 40" to myself an awful lot. Not that I am 40. I'm just warming up. I don't care how old you are, there's gotta be a point where I'm no longer "a little girl." I'm pretty sure by 38 I should have reached it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Under-30 here, and uh, those other Young People are crazy. Unless being a mom somehow disqualifies me to be officially under 30, which I'm afraid it might, at least among my goolie-waxing peers.

Jess, clearly you demonstrate that the consequences of NOT waxing your goolie leads to babies.

What? It makes as much sense as any of the other goolie-waxing arguments!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, my. Thje Great Goolie Wars of Ought Seven.

I can't really have an opinion, because I am very non-hairy. AFAIK, none of my girlfriends have had a Brazilian, but it's the midwest, yo. Bikini line waxes, sure, but no full monty.

I do remember one friend who by freshman year of high school had pubes like a freakin' Yeti (seriously, hairway down the inside of her thighs, and her mom let her start getting professional waxes at 14, just for maintenence.)

You know what skeeves me way more than the Goolie Wars? Thongs for pre-teens.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's just a trend.

That's what I keep telling myself.

It's a trend from porn and soon they'll tire of it.

ita, my co-workers and I just had a quick discussion on teratomas, and concluded that "teratoma" should be sung to the tune of "Oklahoma!"

We also learned that if you image-google "tumor with teeth," the results are just as disturbing as image-googling "teratoma," but there are fewer images of babies when using the first phrase.

Oh, no, Jessica, you're supposed to be specially waxed before giving birth, you know.

Also, your husband is not supposed to be there in the labor room, in case he never wants to have sex with you again. (There was an article about this in the New York Times, I shit you not.)
