Shaving Off the Body Hair

I play a transvestite in a Tennessee Williams one-act play, And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens. Candy Delaney, my new alter-ego, is equal parts Blanche Dubois and Maggie the Cat. She definitely does NOT have body hair: no 4 o'clock shadow, no pits, no treasure trail, and most definitely no hairy gams. Frederick, my usual alter-ego, has a lot of hair but it all comes off today.
