Sheena shaves outside her house, San Jose, California

I hate hair. I think it sucks. I mean, hair on your head or eyebrows or eyelashes, that's fine, that's perfectly fine. Hair on your cooch for some people is fine. Personally, I just think it's a turnoff. I shave my arms, my legs, my stomach, my back, my upper body, and my crotch. Just to be blunt from the top to the bottom, I shave it all. Can't stand it. I shaved my face once, but it didn't really do much 'cause I didn't have fuzz on my face anyways.

Doing something opposite of what someone tells you makes you feel better. It's like, 'Look, I'm a rebel. I'm doing something wrong.' On my thirteenth birthday, I had my nose pierced. Between my thumb and my finger was pierced on both hands. I've had my upper thigh pierced through a bruise, thinking that it would look cool. It was during my Gothic stage. I had my nipple pierced a month ago. I did it myself.
