I think I am finally becoming a European. All of the sudden the whole 'not shaving your legs' makes perfect sense to me. I realized this when I was in the shower today shaving my legs and couldn't remember the last time I had done that. I don't think female Europeans are against shaving their legs, it is just that when it is this cold outside, you don't really notice your legs--heck a little hair might even help keep you warmer!
On a typical day I wake up in my warm pajamas, under my heavy down comforter. To make it to the kitchen I put on fuzzy socks and slippers. After a quick shower where I am shivering just before and after (because the heat doesn't work in that bathroom), I immediately change into pants and a thick sweater, which I then complement with a hat, scarf, gloves, and a thick coat if I am headed outside. When I know I will be outside all day I even wear long johns under my sweater and pants. This means that there are usually three layers between my not so attractive legs and the chance that any human will be seeing them. You do the math.
