Do hobbit women also have hairy feet?
 

I know it's a stupid question, but it's been bugging me. I suppose they do, since it's a characteristics of their race, but, urgh! it's so ungainly for a female!

Yes, they do, but the North American branch took up the habit of shaving them.

Mother: "Well dear, did you have a good time?"

H.L.: I can't believe I shaved my feet for that."

But Birdie - the girls would get cold feet!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] The hair was a substitute for shoes and socks. Well then, maybe they would do it for beauty after all - think of what we human females do to our feet wearing high heels!!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Maybe they braided it.

Of course I have hairy feet, and I'm proud of them! But my brother has more hair in his, the braggart!

I have hairy feet! Well, at least the toes. I'm still wondering if female dwarves have beards. Hmm...

Apparently they do have beards, since they're said to be so alike to male dwarves that one can't easily tell them apart. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Women with beards and hairy feet! That's funny to imagine. But considering the fact that Hobbits don't wear shoes...it is reasonable to assume that female hobbits do have hairy feet. It could be blonde or something...I don't really know. Why not watch FotR closely at the beginning?

at least all the hair stylists get extra money I mean all the hobbit ladies probably have their hair feet highlighted...

Nah, they don't shave they wax.

Ouch! *covers feet and winces*. I'll keep my hair thanks

That would explain Lobelia Sackville-Baggins' sunny disposition at any rate.

No way!! I can't believe it!! So, do female dwarves really have beards?! Ah!! I do not want to be a dwarf. I remember see in FOTR that the female hobbits had hairy feet just like the male hobbits. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

So....what's wrong with hairy feet? I mean you have hair on your head, don't you? Most women don't shave their heads, unless there is a serious medical reason. Most of those kind of physical preferences are culturally determined, I think. If you were in a hobbit community, maybe they would see big hairy feet as a thing of great beauty.

sharon, the 7th age hobbit (and this hobbit isn't saying whether she has hairy feet!)

This hobbit does have hair on her feet. And it's in beutifull gold curls too. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/happy/roflmao.gif

Like Child said, for hobbits, having hair on your feet is like having hair on your head. It would be "unnatural" to not have hair on your feet.

I expect that the women's hair wouldn't be that thick. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hobbit lasses are probably as silly as humans are about beauty, they probably dye their foot hair or perm it or some such thing. Hey, do old hobbit's foot hair go grey/fall out? Strange thought.
