Tonight at dinner my one of my clients was describing a crusty old co worker of his that had very scary, wiry chest hair that sprang tentacle like from his shirt. I know you know the type.. the medusa like hair that has a life of it's own and jumps out at you like a wooly mammoth from below. I also know you are probably thinking, 1) What an odd conversation to have at a business dinner and 2) Eyew! I am with you, but it did get me thinking about weird hair.
Case in point.. whenever you stay in a hotel, why is there always some random, weird hair lurking in the shower? Creepy. Reminds me of a condo my friend S and I once rented. Our landlord was a local tv personality and rather, um, hirsute. Anyway, there was this hair of his that was permanently stuck in the grout of our shower that we couldn't get out for the life of us. VERY creepy! At least we knew where it came from.
The other random thing about hair that I have to spout about it is the weird stuff that pregnancy does to your hair that nobody tells you about. One cool side effect was that my leg hair totally stopped growing. Not that it's a big deal since I'm blond, but still, I have to say that it was nice to not have to navigate my girth to shave! The other freaky after effect is the hair loss. I'd heard about it but it still freaked me out when I started shedding like a cat in spring.. hair EVERYWHERE. Big ol hunks coming out. It's like, gee, mother nature, not enough that I have to deal with the post partum moods, hormonal sweats etc etc.. but now I'm losing my hair?! I think it's mother nature's way of making you cut your hair so that when your baby gets the grab reflex going you've hacked off your locks in desperation.
I hope I haven't throroughly grossed you out at this point.. just the random thoughts of a tired brain.
