what grows beneath

A weak economy has led many women to skimp on body hair maintenance, especially when it comes to bikini waxes.

This article explains the phenomenon. An excerpt:

It should probably come as no surprise that the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression would inspire a little fuzz. Conspicuous spending is out, after all. And maintaining a stripper-worthy wax job ain't cheap.

Word to that. Waxing can total close to $100, a price tag that not only makes a rough dent in your income, but also comes with a whole lot of pain.

My advice? Savor the luxuries that come with sweatsuit-covered skin as long as you can.

Nothing's wrong with a little extra insulation. Even if it is kinda stubbly.
