My Colourful Legs
My right leg has a smallish bruise just below the knee. My left leg, which leads, has a quarter-sized purple bruise on the kneecap, a 4-inch red bruise on the shin and a 6-inch green bruise immediately adjacent to it. The latter is a deeper injury, I think, because it hurts to walk and hasn't healed much after a week of rest.
My shoulders, thighs and calves reek of menthol and spices. Tiger Balm is my new signature scent.
It occurs to me that savate may not be the ideal sport for someone who wants to bare her legs in summertime. In fact, I am not looking forward to my manicure/pedicure appointments next week (gift certificates from Christmas, expiring in May) as there will undoubtedly be many annoying questions.

just tell your manicure/pedicurist that you received the wounds in battle with exotic people etc etc etc... the better the stories the better the treatment! so make them good.
savate is a sport i have never heard of nor wish to partake in. my legs (and whole body) take enough injuries from my family's livestock in the form of camelids thank you very much!

Yep, I'm left handed (or have a strong preference for left).

See, when you're COVERED WITH HAIR the bruises are less-noticeable.

Whining about what?
This is about vanity.
