@ the workplace

My best friend and I have hairy arms. Hers more than mine (at least I think so), just cause she is lighter than me and her arm hairs are signficantly darker, therefore more visible. We are both aware of our hairy arms and share stories on this topic - moreso than I can share with other friends.
She works in the IT/software programming industry, not too many women in this field. For example her office, until recently she was the only girl in the programming department; she works with a lot of guys. Apparently one of the guys came up to her one day and they were just chatting at her desk, and he kinda just went in and started touching her arm hairs. She says she couldn't believe it, that he actually just came straight out and started touching her arm hair (not in a creepy kinda way tho). She says that all he said was wow you have a lot of arm hair! And that was it. Nothing else. After that she pulled her arm away from him. She wasn't sure what to do about his gesture and comment. When she was telling me the story, I just kept laughing cause I know she get's uncomfortable with that kind of thing. I think that if that happened to me (now), I would definately engage more of a conversation on the topic. But it hasn't happened yet!!

Movie

A few nights back I went to see 500 Days of Summer. Not sure if anyone else has seen it, doesn't seem to be too popular. At any rate, there was a scene where the main character draws a cityscape scene on his girlfriends' forearm and puts it up against the sunlight and the actress clearly had arm fuzz because the light caught it all as it stood up. It wasn't really noticeable in the rest of the movie as her arm hair was really faint and thin...
Just thought I'd share, I found it interesting that it was so blunt in that one scene, as I've never seen that before in movies.

Another Approach

Just another story to share about someone noticing natural beauty.
My best friend and I took a trip to San Francisco and across from our hotel was a guy that was selling newspapers. He was very loud, friendly and approaching anyone he can to sell the newspapers to. As my friend and I are waiting to cross the street to get to our hotel he stops half way through his ranting and looks over at us and yells 'Oh my God, look at those gorgeous eyebrows'. This was in reference to my friend as she has very thick dark eyebrows. All he kept yelling was 'wow that's what a true woman should look like, look at those eyebrows soo natural and beautiful'. And as I turn around to look directly in his direction, he notices our arm hair as well and just starts yelling how hair on women is sexy and that natural is beautiful . My friend and I just kept laughing as we couldn't believe that he stopped his aggressive selling to preach about natural beauty where crowds of people were passing by. Althought to the people passing by him, he may have sounded like a mad man, to us he made us feel good about ourselves. And everyday after that when he saw us as we would be crossing the street he would start on his rant about natural beauty.
Now that's something we never heard of out in public with soo much energy about it.
