But I sincerely doubt that Vivica Fox, the poster girl for African American plastic surgery, "likes her mustache." I'm self-conscious about my own, and that's where I was coming from with this post. I realize many strongly natural women don't agree with me about body hair, shaving, and facial hair removal. If you could share photos of beautiful women with deliberate and noticeable mustaches with me, maybe you'll open my mind to more progressive beauty in this regard. But I'm gonna stick to the Nair.

I thought this blog was supposed to be somewhat progressive on beauty. To me, you saying that she needs to do something with her facial hair is the same as people saying I need to straighten my beautiful kinky afro. Maybe she likes her mustache. I find it hardly noticeable. I think it's funny how critical women are of other women. No wonder females feel they have to suffer so much to meet some false standard of beauty. I think she looks fine, and I think you need to evolve your ideas of what looks good. There is certainly more than one way to be beautiful. Wow.

I was gonna say don't ever shave it cause then you're gonna get stubble and it'll be thicker and not to mention, your man or significant other will get a sharp surprise when they kiss you. I used to bleach mine but now I wax - it still hurts like heck every time. Hey, u shoulda included a picture of Deelishis with her 'stache. That was funny when NY was talkin' smack about it. :) oh slum beautiful, u actually shave it?

In protest, every women in America should just stop shaving, waxing, plucking, peeling, etc. at their body hair AT THE SAME TIME. Then, we wouldn't have this problem ;) You know what?

Let me not go fooling myself into thinking that its not there. I always wax when its time but I have to be the last appointment of the day because my lip swells up and turns fire engine red. I usually only have to go once every 6 months but I know when its time to go. I have been pretty lucky with the hair situation, but it still requires maintainance.

The hair does not grow back thicker, there's no shadow, it doesn't hurt, it takes seconds to do and it's cheap. I'm sure many find that a "manly" thing to do, but seeing as I'm a woman everything as I do it is womanly. Do what you do, just know why you're doing it. We've been taught that women should be free of body hair. Why? Who says? The same folks that think a woman should be a certain size or a certain color to be attractive? The cultural mandate that you remove your facial hair is not much different that the one that says you should be thin, or have light skin or be a certain age to be attractive. If you remove hair from anywhere on your body, do so because you prefer one look over another, not because your body in its natural state is wrong - it's not. Okay, I'll get off my soapbox.
