    Since I hate to see a chubby girl (me!) in renaissance attire, I would have to forgo hair removal. Making sure to wear pants and at least a 3/4 sleeve shirt at all times. I think I could live with my brows….for the love of makeup that is. Truth be told, I have ocassionally wondered what my pits would look like grown out. Is that TMI?

    It would kill me to wear Ren Faire gear all the time. None of that sh*t wicks! How am I supposed to run three miles in that?

    I guess if I’m wearing that then growing out all my hair wouldn’t matter, lol. But ’bout the brows. Now I don’t know if I can unleash the caterpillars. I could do everything else, but the brows are visible, lol!

    But you know what? It’s only 3 years. Who knows. Perhaps a new trend would come out of this. I’m up for anything.

    What’s a little fur when your visage is tres magnifique? I’d totally let the fur fly–as I’ve been known to do in between gentlemen friends….

    I will prolly give up hair removal. Luckily I’m not a hairy person, I don’t shave my legs (ever), I pluck my brows only every 2 wks, I will move to a land where men thinks pit hair is sexy, and save me all the pain I go thru during brazillian wax session!

    Without a doubt hair removal, I would go into hiding for a year and the great thing would be when you came back out into public you would have all the new makeup and look FAB! Just think of how amazing your skin would feel without sun damage or razor burns for a whole year!

    I’d go for the non-shaved look! In jeans and a top, who would notice? Well, perhaps a unibrow would show up but what the heck! And since I live in cold sweden, there aren’t too many days in a year to wear a bikini. Perfect, and imagine ALL THE FREE MAKEUP!

    I don’t have hair legs. Aren’t I lucky? I don’t pluck my brows cause they are beautiful as it is. LOL =)
    I would go the chewbaca look to scare off little kids that annoys me. Hehehe… Btw.. I changed my blogsite. It’s http://www.skosasih.blogspot.com. The MAC N collection came out in Australia today. I was going to get the light flush MSF tomorrow since I have 3 hours break. But guess what? It’s sold out in a day. I was in tears >.

    I pick the no shaving. It is true that my eyebrows would be wild and untamed, but not so much that people would flee at the sight of me. I’d SO do it for free MAC.,mm

    Ironically, if one was wearing the Ren gear, one could go unshaven and it would be pretty much unnoticeable! However, as doing backward rolls in a corset and multiple skirts would be terribly awkward (I’m chuckling just imagining explaining the change in attire to my Sensei! Ren-girl with a sword would be hot, though! LOL!), I would brave hairy legs and pits for free Chanel collections (urgh, wiping drool from my chin)! I’d just have to forgo the sleeveless tops with my jeans! Besides, brow gel can do wonders! 😀

    Oh, not removing any hair wouldn’t be too awful especially if a bounty of cosmetics was the reward! Hair does get softer as it grows and wearing jeans during the summers isn’t so horrible… Listen to me! I’m rationalizing! I must really have a huge beauty addiction!

    as much as I love Chewbacca, I’m going with Ren Faire! an added bonus is you don’t have to do your hair either-it’s covered.

    Okay, I think this one is easy for me. I choose no hair removal – only because I’m kinda hairless anyway. I barely need to shaves my legs and have hardly any hair on my arms. I’d only be concerned with the brows but since super thin isn’t in right now, I think I’m okay!

    And I’ll just wear sleeves for the next three years and not go on a beach vacation 😉

    I’m in and I choose to go hair removal free for 3 years. I will just move to a cold state like Michigan and wear long sleeve shirts all the time. Besides I rarely shave anyway since the woman in my family tend not to be hairy and my eyebrows are sparse to begin with.

    But hey free MAC LE products this was a no brainer.

    DEFINITELY I would give up hair removal. I too am not really that hairy… I mean in 3 years I would have hairy pits and legs…but really that would be the worst of it. I must admit…that I didn’t start tweezing my eyebrows until probably like 2 or 3 years ago…and I’m 27…I just get the occasional stray. I don’t get much of a stache either…

    My question though…does this mean no haircuts too? I’m assuming so…since you say no hair removal…but I’m wondering if trims would be okay…for real I would be the queen of buns/ponytails otherwise…

    Well I’d have to go with the Renaissance look, cause my very hairy skin bothers me. I’d rather look like an outdated woman, than a cross-dressing man.

    Oh yeah- I look HOT in Renaisance gear, I ROCK! so I’ll take that. Yes, I’d have to endure a whole year of NORMAL men pointing & laughing , but those few times I wore Renaissance outfits, I must have looked like one naughty li’l wench, because I had to fight them off with Ye Bigg Sticke.
    And you’d be surprised how many of those… uh, “Technically Proficient fellows” (i.e, nerds)have fab fortunes from their own companies! Lots were even CUTE ( – if in need of advice on what to wear when tights & codpieces just aren’t appropriate) & could really party… after a Zima or two!

    That would be so hard… I think I would go for the no-hair-removal. But OOof. That would suck. Even if I could cover my legs and underarms at all times, I STILL don’t know if I could handle my eyebrows. *wince*

    I was almost like, well I’ll just wait, and save the makeup!! No, no, they’d be bad, and out of style by then. Boo.

    I would have to say hair removal. It would be easier to cover up the crazy hair growth than try to cover up looking like you have problems choosing your clothes. Besides, that Renaissance look would burn me to bits in the one hundred degree central Cali. weather. And think of all the money I could save from not buying any more shaving cream.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
