Sound familiar? LOL

And thats probably why you dont see them often with facial hair. But trust me Ive seen celebrities in high resolution photos with upper lip hair- I think tons of women have that, PCOS or not. | |

I'm also curious about the Photoshop tricks for making your face look thinner. I gain all my weight in my face, so this would be a great trick for me

This post made me smile. Anyone can have PCOS and extra hair growth. Doesn't spare celebrities! | |

Why don't they remove the excess hair before going out with all that fancy makeup and clothes? Do you think it's some kind of fashion statement?

I admit I've used Photoshop to take out a few chins or some stomach. The thing I find amazing, is that even the "perfect" women get the Photoshop treatment!
Messy, it's neat to know another graphic person is here! And not afraid to use your powers for evil too!

Now wouldn't it be even better if some of these celebs who alledgedly have PCOS came out and talked about it! It would be nice to get it out there because there are so many people out there who have never even heard of PCOS, never mind know what it puts us through!! | |

Nice photos! It makes me feel better about myself to see pretty actresses have the same crappy symptoms we do. | |

that was kind of surprising. sometimes there are days where you just drown yourself in your own pity over your symptoms. I feel that have excess hair growth is worse than being overweight. I mean, that really puts you down sometimes. I did suspect Alyssa Milano had it and Alicia Keys too...
It feels good to know there are so many other women struggling with this. I also get concerned because I am so young right now I don't want to damage my skin...sometimes you can help but feel jealous of those who can just get up in the morning with beautiful hair-free skin everywhere...But hey, everything happens for a reason
