What - and draw attention to myself? I really don't remember when I started to shave my legs. I wasn't a big fan of the practice - I'm still not - I love the winter when I can wear tights (hee-hee).

As for makeup, I still remember my first purchase, Cover girl mascara - blue-black. I didn't wear makeup very much as a teenager - I wore it more in my twenties and thirties - now that I'm in my forties it needs to be a special occasion for me to bother with it.

So far, from a distance at least, my grey hairs look more like "highlighting" - we'll see how much longer that lasts.

FLS - I know its hard to understand at your age, but having your period is nothing to be ashamed of (of course, you couldn't have told me that when I was 13 - I would have been mortified to even discuss the topic). That bit about "fat people" is totally made up - don't believe it for a moment. I've found that Advil is good for cramps - but check with your parents first! Don't ever take medication becasue someone on a web site said so.
