She will be looking in the mirror, and suddenly she will leap back in horror at the sight of little blond hairs over her top lip. She can't bleach them, of course, because their very paleness is the problem. So what does she do--darken them? Wax them? Christina, sporting her blonde summer 'stache this season.

I have never touched my girlstash because, even though it is quite noticeable (especially in the winter when I am paler), I believe that messing with the fine skin around that area will eventually produce those old lady, 3 pack-a-day, lipstick-trap creases. When my daughters mentioned that I had a moustache for the first time (they left out the 'girl' part) and subsequently that one of them had one as well I informed that I liked my 'stache and that some very cool women had 'staches! I then introduced them to the image of Frieda Khalo...this, of course, sent them into fits of laughter. The truth is that my moustache never truly tormented me. I guess when you are a twelve year old with a 'D' cup bra you don't spend that much time worrying about your lip, and no one spends that much time looking at it. I also believe I was, and still am, rebelling against EVERY beauty 'technician' I have ever come across, who after any procedure I had endured, be it bikini wax or hair blow-out, graciously asked me if I would like to do my moustache as well. "NO Thank you!!" My middle daughter has a girlstash, as do I.
