The Word of the Day Is Vellus
Green Shirt 004 from my Green Shirt set on Flickr.
The word of the day is vellus, the "short, fine, 'peach fuzz' body hair" that's just one of the most underrated of bodily delights.
Often nearly invisible except when highlighted from behind or when we're very, very close, vellus hair on cheeks, foreheads near the hairline, the small of the back, the belly and breasts, catch our eye, tickles our partner's faces, and respond to feather-light, not-quite-tickly kisses with tiny goosebumps that quickly melt again when we warmly, gently breathe over them.
Mmmm, vellus. The word of the day is vellus.
Oh my. Your HNT photo is fetching, but this ... well, my skin is all tingly.
[I'm glad you liked this one, Sungold! Thanks. --fl]
Excellent word - I don't recall learning that one in SAT vocab practice tests!
ReCaptcha: anti WASHINGTON
Maybe not Washington as a whole, just this administration!
[Isn't *that* a funny word pair? I don't remember vellus on any of my vocabulary tests either but something about the sound as it rolls off the tongue makes it perfect for those little hairs. Thanks, Bunny. --fl]
I like this picture better than the HNT one as well. Something about the way you're just loosening you pants makes it really nice.
[Glad you like it, ks. Thank you. --fl]
Vellus. "Your vellus makes me crazy." "Please, may I lick your vellus?" Hmmmm. We'll see if I can work that into conversation.
[Or how about something "like let me hold you in my arms and slowly turn us gently round and round till the afternoon sun makes your vellus glow in profile before I eclipse it with kisses?" Something like that anyway? :-) Thanks, Marianne. --fl]
