And sure, it’s no big deal to take care of them/ make sure my boyfriend never ever ever finds my tube of facial hair removal cream (it’s buried in a Fort Knox of feminine hygiene products). But this column is here to remind you that everything you think gross is another culture’s shining beauty spot. So guess what: lady beards are hot. More »
