Marie Claire beauty editor: Shaving your face is “psychologically confusing”

“Now that I’ve shaved my face, I’m not sure about anything anymore!”
Marie Claire Beauty Director Ying Chu is answering beauty questions on MSN, and her advice is, uh, well…I’ll let you judge for yourself.

Q: Do models shave their faces? Their skin always looks so smooth!
A: Absolutely not, and you shouldn’t either. Face shaving is such a masculine act that it can be psychologically confusing to do as a woman. If you feel like you have excess hair on your face, try waxing, plucking, using depilatories, or laser hair removal. You can also ask your doctor for Vaniqa, a prescription cream that slows hair growth in about four to six weeks. But you shouldn’t obsess over a little peach fuzz. I’ve definitely seen my share of it on models’ faces. The reason you haven’t is because facial hair is pretty much always retouched out of photos.

I’m sorry, but what? Now I don’t know too much about the psychological consequences of hair removal methods, but I’m pretty sure that, you know, there are none. Chu also recommends women stay away from football, BBQing, and peeing standing up lest you suffer a gender-related nervous breakdown.
