Sartorial, of course, means "of or relating to (a tailor or) tailored clothes;" does anyone know a word that means (approximately) "of or relating to arranged hair?"
Is that Daisy Piggle who has a hairy ass? There are spa's that specialise in waxing posteriors-- maybe she should go to one! (almost a YART! don't start talking about Cally Pidgeon..)
oh goody, a chance to display my hair(y) collection:
alopecia - loss of hair: baldness glabrous - smooth, esp: having a surface without hairs or projections horripilation - the erection of the hair of the head or body from fear or cold poliosis - graying of the hair tetrapyloctomy - the art of splitting a hair four ways (Umberto Eco coinage?) trichoptilosis - a longitudinal splitting of hair fiber better known as split ends trichotillomania - the abnormal urge to pull out one's hair
(and since bridget weighed in with dasypygal) hirsute - roughly hairy, esp covered with coarse, stiff hair
tsuwm, since you mention "trichoptilosis", you give me a segue for sharing "trichoschisticism", which is defined as the making of overly fine points (or hair-splitting) in an argument. i'd made a mental note to look up the putting-words-in-another's-mouth thread and post this as as related word.
speaking of hair, where has the Auricomous One been hiding? i haven't seen her post in *ages*. she must be busy with those ducks

oh wait, that's not really relevant, unless of course it's arranged nicely
