What can a girl do about unsightly facial hair? I've tried everything...pills, herbs, creams, lotions, electric shock, but still my face remains smooth and hairless...can you buy facial hair?

Dear Wishing,
I know
you can buy fake mustaches, but I'm sure you don't want to go through the
trouble of pasting it on day after day. And what if you knocked it off
kissing? Or got your fork caught and pulled it off while eating at an elegant
restaurant? What an embarrassment! As you know one of the easiest ways
to increase hair growth is to take male hormone pills. I'm sure you'd get
a thick mustache that way, but you may not want the loss of feminine figure,
goiter, sideburns, and deep raspy voice that goes along with it. That is
why I would suggest a one time skin transplant. Let's say you want the
"young boy/facial hair just emerging" look. You could take a strip of skin
off your back where it’s nice and peach fuzzy. Although shaving it could
darken it a bit, it would never get bushy and full. Maybe you want to be
able to eventually grow a handlebar mustache. Then I'd suggest taking a
strip off your head. Think of the length you could get. And the mustache
would match your hair color perfectly! In your case, for a pencil-thin
mustache, I think some hair around the lower leg may be best. You would
only need 1/4" by 3" strip. That would produce a bristly, dark mustache
which would require little grooming. Just remember that this is not something
you should do on your own at home just because you know how to handle a
paring knife and its seems straight forward and simple enough. Nobody would
want a lifelong crooked mustache. Haha! That's why I say, "Go for it! Make
your dream a reality. But leave the grafting to the experts."
