OKay, here's the deal the shape of my legs is fine, have sasquwatch feet but hey....I actually do not like the skin on my legs, I have dark skin and dark hair so I get the "chicken skin" thing going on so you can see the pores.I love skirts but always end up wearing long skirts cos of me bloomin legs.

Would you or do you have experience of laser treatment or would you just get them spray painted....I am 40 and do not want to spend another summer with my bloody legs covered up!!!

do you shave or wax? how about an getting an epilator, then you can dehair daily if you want.

Have you tried those pads, kind of like sandpaper which get rid of hair and exfoliate at the same time?
You could try those Rio things that are always on Ideal World? They do loads of hair removal things (I do admit to being dumbstruck by Ideal world, although have never bought off it, the presenters are so, amazingly awful they are good, iyswim).

I think a little fake tan would go a long way to making you feel better about your pins.

St Tropez every day gradual stuff really is great, its the best one I've tried, and I've got grey pimply chicken legs otherwise.

I like the sound of just slathering something on (yes I'm a bit lazy) so may see if can get hands on some St Tropez over here in Vancouver.....have tried those sand paper things they just dried my legs out even more.
What I would really like is to get the laser treatment...but am too chicken shit & don't know if hubby would go for that either.

Are you in Vancouver? You lucky thing.
My Mom lived in Kelowna for some time and we went to visit, had a lovely weekend in Vancouver with DH (before he was DH), wow, lucky you.
