Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Macy's. There are a lot of cute suits on their site right now: [link]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I know someone who was dating an Arab man and - after many drinks - she entertained us with descriptions of getting everything except the hair on her head waxed off. TMI territory, but it was seemingly a cultural thing. Still - ouch.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Heh. I want to ask those women about their boyfriends' hairy balls and the bag-of-filth connection.

I'll cop to a certain amount of maintenance trimming, though it's for comfort and to reduce sweating rather than out of vanity regarding others' opinions of my appearance. By the time someone's seeing me out of my underwear, they've either already demonstrated a certain amount of eager intent or are a paid medical professional.

Plus, of course, it hurts, and it's totally ungirly to volunteer for pain to make yourself more attractive.

Please introduce her to the concept of footbinding. I trust your ability to find the best pertinent links for visual aids.

I love the corset style one. I think a trip to Macy's is in my future.

Corset one is super hot (plus hidden tummy control!). I'd say we could hit Macy's together cause I need another suit, too, but for me suit shopping is a solo activity. Ain't nobody looking at that mess.

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

That red suit is cool. But I need new swimsuits like I need a hole in the head. I have a bit of a problem there.

Actually, GC, I'd love morale support. Are you free tonight?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

this particular flamewar

I'd assumed this was an organic shaving/waxing/cultural norms conversation. What was the original context? Sure, I could hit "Previous" a bunch of times to find out, but hello -- LAZY.
