Close shave

At a recent dinner party, one of the women repeatedly stretched her arms over her head to expose her underarms. She was wearing a sun dress and, I believe, wanted the rest of us to see her perfectly shaved arm pits. Actually, they were more than shaved. Denuded is more like it. Not a speck of stubble. No sign of razor rash. I can only imagine one attains pits as hairless as these via some primitive feminine hygiene ritual with which I am not acquainted. And I'm glad for that, because it looked unnatural. Eerie, really.
