I Shaved My Legs For This?!?

Yeah, apparently I did.

For the character of Phyllis (in Sylvia), I am wearing a knee length skirt, hose, and heels. As well as a bra, a nice blue top, scarf, wig, pearls, ear rings, and a few other bits of jewelry.

By the way, one of the reasons I'm in theatre is because it gives an opportunity to experience many different things. Well -- the hose I wear are see-through. So my newest experience is shaving my legs.

Yup.

I was told I'd only really have to shave from the knees on down. But I thought that would look odd, so I shaved the thighs, too. Got 'em pretty smooth, too. But . . . soon afterwards, when I sat down, my thighs felt prickly. And then I got a bunch of red bumps on my thighs. Neat. I'm betting women know something about shaving their legs that I don't.

After a couple of days, the prickliness went away, and the bumps have pretty much disappeared. Not quite so smooth, though.

But hey -- I have been told that I look damn good in heels. The woman who said that also said she was jealous.
