Any of us can indulge in self-congratulatory fantasies about how courageous we will be when crisis hits. It is only when actually faced with danger -- a charging elephant, enemy fire, a blind date gone awry -- that we can truly know of what substance we are made. Hero or coward, (wo)man or mouse?
Having now survived a laser beam trained on my legs and pink parts, I can now walk a little taller, knowing how courageous I am. Braver, smoother . . . poorer.

OMG and here I thought you were a female icon. I had envisioned you as a shapely but hairy-legged goddess but now you reveal that you are as vain as I am. Cool. ;)

I'm right there with you girl! Did you at least get to use the cream that dulls your (ahem) "senses"? I couldn't do it without it (brings tears to my eyes). Tomorrow I go get the electrolosys for the strays that wouldn't laser. Walking taller, but I bet sitting tenderly for a while. ;o) Smooth is great!

TP: blazing the trail? lol
Timethief: I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that you don't know by now how vain I am!
Jules: Yeah, totally slathered on the lidocaine - no fun (but could have been worse) but yes, the thought of throwing away my razors in a few months makes me very happy!
AG: me too (when they don't bug me that is)
Shephard: lol - no, the hair better all be gone by next xmas!!
Popeye: I don't know the color of the laser, I had my eyes closed and dark glasses on . . . but probably.
Krista: It wasn't that bad, just the thought of it was scary.
MB: Yeah, probably TMI but I was so excited, I just wanted other folks to know about the procedure.
Don: Yeah, right. :P
