Okay, here goes. My favorite little Hermosa Beach gal revealed her most embarrassing thing in To Be Ashamed and, in the spirit of whispering, I’m going to be brave enough to share mine. Secret Twenty-Three, Revealed. I think I am growing a goatee.

About two months ago the tiny hairs on my chin decided to grow half a micro-millimeter longer. At first I thought that the light in my bathroom was playing tricks on me. Then I saw them in the bedroom mirror.

Now I feel like a billy-goat, which is not a very attractive feeling. I don’t know what to do about it, though. I’d wax it, I guess, but I hear that the hair can grow back thicker. The horror! The horror! So I’ve just left it, my billy-goat chin, hoping beyond hope that no one will notice (because that always works).

Please, please, advise.
