Facial Hair LOL

So I am gonna share something with you that I know for a fact most of my girlfriends would not share. I'm sharing it because I think it's pretty funny and so do the people I have already shared it with. It was suggested to me that I should share it on fb but I held out to share it on my blog instead.

I am half Italian (Dads side) My Moms side is a mix of a few different nationalities. Some of my family on my Moms side are pretty hairy. All of the members of my Dads side are very hairy. So naturally I am very hairy. I am constantly grooming some part of my hairy body. When I was younger, all of this hair really upset me. I was pretty embarrassed by it and even made fun of and teased on occasion. That just made me feel worse about it. To this day I still wish I had less body hair but I have come to embrace it in a way. I mean, it is what it is. I was born that way and so I just deal with it.

So of course I have facial hair. Facial hair, that's the term that most women/people use. When it comes to waxing, the term used is upper lip. Women say they are having facial hair removed or having their upper lip waxed or bleaching their upper lip. I however just call it my moustache lol I say I am removing my moustache. I do this moustache removal with depilatory cream. It's what seems to work best for me.

This is another one of those instances where most women keep this info on the down low. Only their closest friends know. Like no one (especially men) know that some women do indeed have a moustache and that they do indeed wax, bleach, shave, remove, laser...etc. I mean seriously, I see commercials for it all the time on TV. Magazines have ads for all of these treatments. It's pretty much common knowledge. Yet women go out of their way to hide the fact that they are one of the many women that have facial hair.

I used to be the same way. I didn't tell most people. I sure as hell wouldn't talk about it publicly like I am now. I went to great lengths to keep this dirty little secret all to my self. I didn't even like buying depilatory cream at the store. I felt like anyone who saw me with it was looking at my face in search of my moustache. I would hide it when I got home so no one knew I bought it. I kept it hidden so no one in the house would find it and ask me what the fuck I was doing with it. Then once a week or so I would go into the bathroom to take a shower and I would apply the think layer it takes to rid me of this dilemma. Then I would just sit there for 20 minutes till it worked it's magic. Then I'd rinse it off, take a shower and carry on with life.

After a while i let my husband in on it. Then one day I just decided that I wasn't gonna waste 20 min locked in the bathroom doing nothing but waiting. I had a son and a house to take care of and time is limited. So in the middle of the day I applied the cream and walked out of the bathroom like nothing was going on. I started doing chores. This made more sense to me. When my husband and son walked in and saw me like that, they did a double take and had that  what the fuck is going on look on their faces. I told them and they laughed hysterically for what seemed like hours. They made fun of me for quite some time. My husband said it reminded him of Hulk Hogans moustache so we started calling it "doing the hogan" We still do to this day.
Now a days, it's not a big deal. It's become so normal to them that I don't even think they notice.

When my son was about 8, (he'll be 15 next month) I was at the kitchen counter cooking or something. He came in and saw my with the cream on my upper lip. This was when it was still very funny to him. He left the room only to come back a minute later with my camera and as he was cracking up, he snapped the below photo of me. He thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever done and said he would use it to blackmail me. Yeah, ok, we'll see about that.

I once had a convo with my Sister about this topic and this pic. I sent it to her and we had a good laugh. She couldn't believe I had kept it. I can't deny that it is a pretty funny pic. LOL

Then  few days ago I was doing it again. I was sitting on my couch texting with her. I took the pic below with my cell phone and sent it to her for a giggle. The caption read "Doin the Hogan" She replied with some version of RTOFDLMFAO

The next day the facebook status of a good friend said "Time to make some big changes in my life"
So I sent the same pic to her cell phone, with the text "Yesterday, I made some big changes in my life...I went from male to female. Joe calls this doing the Hogan cause it reminds him of Hulk Hogans moustache LOL" She then replied with "You should make this your profile pic...Brother" I busted out laughing. I love her lol

Now I know some of you will wonder why I would share this and with pics even. Well one reason would be cause it's hilarious to me. Another would be to prove that it doesn't have to be some secret you take to your grave. Then there's the simple fact that I have a theory about things like this, If I put it out there in the open and poke fum of my self. Well, they will never be able to use it against me. Like how my son planned to blackmail me with that pic.....he's got nothin on me now lol. This theory of mine, can be applied to so many things in life. You will hear me use it more than a few times in this blog. This happens to be a silly example, but in  future posts you will find that it can be applied to very serious situations.

Hope you got a laugh out of this!
