Do You Remove Your Arm Hair?
Our recent post on the pressure on women to get rid of body hair
sparked quite a bit of debate-both with readers and around our office. One especially prickly (sorry) area seems to be arm hair. One friend confessed to us that during a manicure at an upscale Manhattan nail spa, after massaging lotion on her arms, the technician smoothed the girl's arm hair perfectly into place, practically creating a comb-over. The girl, who had never been self-conscious about her naturally blonde arm hair before, spent the rest of the day paranoid that the nail technician was hinting that she should wax it.

Another friend told us that during a recent trip to Los Angeles, the friend she was staying with refused to take her out on the town until she agreed to get her arms waxed, snipping to her, "No one in LA has arm hair, so we simply can't go out with you looking like that." Whoa! What do you think-is fuzz on your arms ever a faux pas?
