Brooklyn Decker Remembers First Time She Shaved Her Legs

Model Brooklyn Decker recently talked razors with Glamour.com and she shared the story of the first time she ever shared her legs.

Decker recalled:

I was 11 years old, and very hairy. After playing in a soccer game, my mom came up and saw my long blonde leg hairs glistening in the sun and said "okay honey, it's time." She was right there with me. We got a special fool-proof razor, and fancy shaving cream but I was only allowed to shave up to my knees!

And the rest is beauty history, with Decker landing the Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover 12 years later.

Women shouldn't shave, honestly - they should wax or epilate.

Funny how people name their kids Brooklyn and Bronx. Has anyone named their kid Los Angeles yet?

Too bad she shaved. Now her hair comes out dark instead of blonde. And she has to shave for ever.

Yeah, I heard that phony folklore when I was 12, too.

Lol that is not true. Its been completely debunked. Hair doesn't change color and it does not get thicker because of shaving.

Knowing this about Brooklyn just makes her sexier than even her first name...
