Adrienne's Top 5

5 Reasons to Shave Your Legs. You may be asking "what in the..." about this post, but it's just one of those hygiene requirements inflicted upon women by a male society. okay, enough of my pseudo-feminist logic there, but no really, I hate shaving my legs and since due to #5 below, I shaved my legs last night. I was thinking in the bath the top reasons I actually hunker down and subject myself to a sharp implement against my skin:

1. Possibility of "gettin' lucky".
For my married friends who are newly blessed with children, they don't know what this means anymore. For my unmarried friends who have no current significant other, they also don't know what this means anymore. On my first date with Jimmy, I told him under no uncertain terms that "gl" was gonna happen. I didn't shave my legs. Yes, he still likes me, even if I don't shave my legs on a regular basis.

2. Wearing short skirt/shorts.
I've been to Atlanta, GA. And seen the HOT Georgia black women who do not shave, and supposedly their men are turned on by this. (I can call women HOT because I'm quite okay with my sexual identity.) Not me, thankyouverymuch. I'll shave first, and then wear that short skirt. Besides, have you ever seen a woman who didn't shave wear pantyhose? GAG.

3. Swimsuit.
'nuff said.

4. Yearly Dr.'s examination.
I'm highly concerned about my Dr's opinion of me. I make sure I dress nicely, shave both legs and pits, and bathe. Hygiene is number one for a clean bill of health.

5. Potential ER visit.
I'm sitting here this weekend with lower abdominal pain and fever. I took a bath last night"just in case" I might have to make a visit to the ER. Wouldn't want them to think I'm PWT (poor white trash) as I'm doubled over in pain. By the way, no ER visit (yet), I'm holding out for Monday to schedule an appointment with a primary care physician. Might as well discuss my whole "low blood sugar episodes" while I'm there. Try to kill 2 birds with just one co-pay.
