Dear Abby:

I had to laugh at the posting of "Dear Abby" in today's newspaper, and just had to share!


Dear Abby,
How can my daughter broach the subject of her matron of honor's "beard"? We're not talking about a few hairs here, but a growth that would make some young men envious.


The wedding is coming up soon, and the bride and groom are concerned how it will look in the wedding pictures, but they don't want to hurt her feelings.

I, for one, have been taking quick swipes with my razor for years, and my whiskers haven't grown back thicker or darker, and I only have to do it once or twice a week.

Ladies, if unwanted facial hair embarrasses you, forget the myth that shaving will make it worse. -- Bride's Mom, St. Louis, Mo.


Dear Mom,
Before the wedding, schedule a "spa" day for the women in the bridal party -- manicures, pedicures, waxing.

When you get there, invite the "bearded lady" to join you in getting any excess facial hair removed. If she sees she isn't alone, she may go for it. And if she's resistant, your wedding photographer can always "Photoshop" the fur away.
