You ask, I deliver.
Today’s PhotoHunt Theme:
Self (yourself, or part of you)
I have issues. It’s official. This post proves it.
Lilacspecs “Triple Dawg Dared” me to show my unshaven pits when I joked about it on this post.
Then Madness said she wanted to see them too, and requested my hairy legs to go along with them. (Incidentally, Sunshine also wants a leg hair picture.)
Allie actually challenged me to “grow a pair” and show my pit. Whoa.
And Kat almost broke her desk, beating on it and yelling, “ArmPIT! ArmPIT! ArmPIT!”
Christie, Shannymar, Mommy Cracked, Jennifer, Cate, MP, Scylla, Angela, Jenny from Mommin’ It Up!, Jenny-Bloggess,BusyDad, Dirty Laundry Diva, and Veronica all chimed in to support the idea of armpit posting, in one way or another.
Queen of Shake Shake accused me of making everyone wait because I had to grow it out! I’ll have you know I took the picture the very next day! (And no, one could not exactly braid the hair, but it’s past the point of stubble.)
Several people were clearly against posting the armpit hair.
Wright is scared and wants a warning (consider this it, honey). 
Lou’s not particularly fond of pit hair, he says, and my even mentioning it brings back bad memories of nipple hair for him. He now claims I owe him a Rack shot to make up for that. As if I haven’t given plenty of those already!
Rachel says she is not looking forward to the pic (but still loves me). *whew*
Bee Repartee “says no to armpit hair” even though she has a French name. Do you also dislike cheese and wine!? We should really just start calling you “Becky Smith” or something, you realize.
Karen MEG actually said I was scaring her and called the whole thing a threat!
Some comments were a bit ambiguous…
Amanda said posting the pic was a tease, and she’d rather sniff my armpit. That’s why I love her so much.
Melissaz said she wouldn’t be able to sleep if I post a pic. I can’t tell if that’s because she’d be too busy vomiting in disgust, or laughing in merriment, to sleep.
Taz just said, “armpit??? Girlfriend, does this mean you’re not familiar with the body part or are you just questioning my sanity with very brief typing?
Sandy(Momisodes) calls it a threat… but says that she supports me. Hmmm. I can’t read you, Sandy!
Karen said she thinksshe can do without the armpit hair… but that I have to if I’ve been TDD’ed and says she’ll cover her eyes… but peek! MIXED MESSAGES, KAREN, SHEESH!
In the end, I have to go with the majority here. I’m all democratic and junk, see? And those who desire to see my pits (and legs), no matter how immensely disturbed they clearly are, win out on this round.
And really, since I’ve already show all of creation My Backfat:
My Muffin-Top:
And My Just Woken-Up Face:
What’s a few more gross pictures?
Remember, we all look like this. Admitting it can only make us more comfortable with who we really are.
So, with what will possibly be a little regret once I see how GROSS they look published in all their largeness…
Right Pit:
Left Pit, With BONUS DISGUSTING MOLE!:
Legs:
I hope you’re happy.
And that you didn’t throw up a little (or a lot) in your mouth.
Now, I seriously deserve your vote for Hottest Mommy Blogger. Because what’s hotter than Every.Single.One of the photos in this post?

You call that pit hair? That’s baby stubble honey!
And I’m seriously not saying that just because I haven’t shaved in a couple years.
Gotta love your willingness to put it all out on the line.

your right pit was actually pretty cute, the left one scared me a little. Kind of like the jeckyl and hyde of pits.
And hairy legs though they may not look as pleasing they feel much better to the touch than prickly stubble.

There truly is no limit to what you will share is there? I mean I don’t shave often enough but the blonde hair is blessing in that sense. You are such a goofball. Pop by The Cafe, I’m live and showing my real self.

river
Have to disagree, that’s not hair, that’s stubble. Hair is at least 1/4 inch long, I’d say they’re not hairy pits unless you can comb them. Ditto legs.
rye
Not that I didn’t R-E-S-P-E-C-T you before, but this post puts it in a WHOLE NEW LIGHT. Awesome!
Z
AND this post is one of the reasons I love your blog so much!
PS. I am often guilty of letting my hair get longer than that… For my legs, it’s not that bad (or so I tell myself) because for some reason the hair grows in blond (I’m a brunette) but my armpits… Not blond. So those I *usually* remember to shave more often
But I’m with river – that isn’t really hair. Not yet. Give it some time…

I was expecting far far worse. You should see MY pits right now. I’m pretty sure there’s a small aboriginal tribe living under that forest. It’s been awhile since I last had time in the shower to shave.
Thanks for going out on a limb!

Oh mama! You are totally on the top of my list for hot mommy blogger right there!! Haha!
I try to keep on top of my armpits for the most part, though, working in a professional atmosphere really does encourage that a bit more. I’m lucky, as well, that my legs tend to grow the hairs fairly blonde, so they don’t stick out too badly, but I’m sooo lazy about shaving them! Haha

You call that hair?? What are you, Sweedish or something? Surely you have a little Italian, Hungarian or Wolly Mammoth SOMEWHERE in your family history [we ALL do, right?]. C’mon, I expect better from you, Lotus.
Kay
Wow. I could totally beat you with the armpit hair. See, that’s the beauty of being a blonde. No one but me can see it (when I look at it, which really hurts my head at that angle) but it’s pretty long. And Karleigh so has you spanked on the leg-hair front…

Oh honey, I *SO* had you beat after this last week in the wilderness. Too bad I didn’t take pics before I shaved them yesterday!
