Quote from Blanche in Rose Fights Back
Rose: Blanche, did you really start shaving at 11? That seems so young. Blanche: Oh, I did it on a dare. You know, back where I come from, everybody thought that once you started shaving your legs, why, you'd become loose. So I shaved 'em. Rose: What happened? Blanche: Oh, it was an old wives' tale. I didn't become loose for another year and a half.
