In 1999, America’s sweetheart Julia Roberts attended the London premiere of her film Notting Hill, and for a split second lifted up her arm to wave to her fans, inadvertently revealing a dark undergrowth of hair. Roberts’ fuzzy pits triggered reactions of unspeakable disgust — a writer from Britain’s Mirror likened them to “two clumps of seaweed,” while The Independent ran a debate on the pros and cons of Roberts’ personal hygiene habits. Assessing the backlash, Roberts later said, “You would’ve thought I had a chinchilla under there.”
It was around the same time that I was undergoing the routine humiliation of middle school when I overheard some of the girls in my grade speaking in hushed tones about a fellow student who – to their shock and dismay – braided her armpit hair. By refusing to shave after the onset of puberty, she was breaking the law by adolescent girl social codes, and deemed particularly ripe for ostracization.

Several years Jon Stewart, a TV “comedian” made a joke after a mudslide in Italy. He said that the mud had risen as high as the Italian womens’ armpit hair.
The turds in the audience laughed.
I heard it. I have found no reference to it ever since that time.
So if Jon Steward thinks that armpit hair is OK, then it must be.

Trends are stupid, especially when it concerns where women should shave.

He said that the mud had risen as high as the Italian womens’ armpit hair.It's easy to get a laugh when the audience is stoned AND stupid.

If the color of her armpit hair matches her mustache any liberal man will be cool with that.

A girl “ braided her armpit hair”. That would be impossible to do to yourself, A salon visit would be needed or a VERY good friend. I don’t have any friends of that caliber, that I would do that for them!

I had always heard that the definition of a coward is a man who wakes up with his nose in his wife’s armpit and is afraid to open his eyes! ;-)

“Trends are stupid, especially when it concerns where women should shave.”
There was a trend awhile back, albeit a brief one, where punk chicks not only grew out the pit hair, but dyed it a dayglow color.

Wait! This could be a GOOD thing. With the decline in the Bee population we need something else to pollinate the crops. Imagines hundreds of hippie girls running through the crops with their arms raised gathering pollen on their pit hair. Genius! I’m going to be sooo rich!

I guess we will now get to be treated to CONSTANT images in the news of Hillary, Mooch Obama, et al with armpit hair in accordance to latest fashions.

" what we need is to change the social norms where women can feel comfortable doing whatever they please. " Well, if it pleases these slobs to go around looking like orangutans, fine, but they needn't expect me to pretend it's anything but gross.
