i do it 'cause i'm self conscious about my very dark hair, and i want to appear very feminine (in my own twisted, kistch way) because i'm a femme/drag queen. but i don't do it regularly. i often don't care enough to shave my legs more than once every few months. same with eyebrows. though when the eyebrow hair is abundant i feel... well... naked almost. like, unrefined. like the real me isn't showing through. i love my eyebrow shape when they're plucked, and i'm very attached to it. but i'm proud to say that i'm often too busy to really care very much about body hair untill it's reached an unbearable level. and with my leg hair, i really don't care unless i feel like i'm gonna score (i hate how rough my legs feel with the long and very thick hair), or i want to wear a skirt/dress and the hair shows through the tights/is uncomfortable to wear with tights/i'm out of clean tights. with my arpits, it's about B.O. mainly. my armpit hair is pretty fine, but i've found that when i have long armpit hair they retain a lot of bad smells, so that every time i lift my arm i notice it. so i try to keep them shaved, or at least short, but that often doesn't happen as much as i'd like, so i just use extra deoderant. :P
