ugh today in the bathroom mirror at work i noticed that like, my moustache is coming in extra luxurious on one side. I’m blonde and usually my facial hair like, stays with the program, and while voluminous, at least stays pale, but. Some of it isn’t, lately. I want to be the daring person who doesn’t give a fuck. But. I can’t.

I have attempted to wax my face like, five or six times in my life, and it is an unmitigated disaster every time. But my other option is tweezers. And i just have too many hairs for that. It’s just too much. I don’t have an hour to hurt myself over and over in a thousand tiny ways. Occasionally I go to town but it’s never enough to even make a dent. (Sometimes I find a real good two-inch neck hair, that’s always fun. My people were built for cold climates, okay.)

So I just had another unmitigated disaster of an attempt to wax my luxurious flowing moustache, at least the parts of it that are darker than my basically-nonexistent eyebrows. It was terrible. I wound up mostly with a lot of goo on me. I am terrible at this. I then had to use tweezers to yank the hairs out of the goo, and then I had to use two kinds of soap and three kinds of oil to try to get the goo off me. I should have just used tweezers to start with. And now my face hurts. 

And I’m still pretty moustachioed. And I wish I was cooler with that. But if I don’t do something about it formally, I wind up trying to yank hairs out with my fingers absentmindedly while sitting at my desk or not paying attention, and that’s no good. It’s just no good. 

Ugh I am terrible at Traditional Womanhood. If anyone was wondering, don’t buy those Sally Hansen double-sided wax strips. I’m starting to be dubious as to whether any Sally Hansen anything is any good. But then, I can’t imagine there’s any way to rip tiny hairs out of your most sensitive skin that isn’t unmitigatedly awful.

And like. I’m a blonde white chick. If I let my moustache totally go it would probably not even register on most people’s radar. Not enough to give me shit for it. I should be cooler about this. So many millions of women suffer a lot more over this and don’t have the option of just not thinking about it for months at a time. So I should suck it up.

But my face hurts and is still vaguely sticky and I still have a goddamn moustache. UGH WE ARE MAMMALS AND MAMMALS HAVE HAIR. Ugh.
