Drew adopts the natural look (HAIRY ARMPITS IN HOLLYWOOD)
The Daily Mail ^ | February 10, 2005 | Clemmie Moodie

Posing hand on hip in a cutaway dress, Drew Barrymore has an announcement to make.

She has joined the growing number of celebrities who have stopped shaving under their arms - and don't care who knows it.

The 29-year- old Charlie's Angels star made her fashion statement at a New York catwalk event featuring designer Marc Jacobs.

With his penchant for dressing models in combat boots and army-style jackets, Jacobs is famed for his grunge-inspired look - and Drew certainly fitted in.

One of those attending the event at the Lexington Avenue Armory observed: 'She looked absolutely stunning but all people were talking about backstage were her hairy armpits.'

Born into one of Hollywood's great acting dynasties, the granddaughter of John Barrymore has never shunned publicity.

She appeared in her first advert at nine months and her first TV movie aged two. She hit the big time aged seven, as the cherubic Gertie in Steven Spielberg's ET: The Extra-Terrestrial.

By the age of nine she had become a heavy drinker and at 11 turned to drugs.

She entered rehab for the first time when she was 13 - and returned for a second spell within a year.

In 1994 she married Welsh bar owner Jeremy Thomas but it lasted just seven weeks while her second marriage, to Canadian comic Tom Green, ended in divorce three years

ago. She is rumoured this week to have dumped latest boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti, drummer with the rock group The Strokes.

By going for the natural look armpit-wise, she is in famous company. In April 1999 Julia Roberts revealed her secret as she waved to the crowd at the UK premiere of Notting Hill.

A year ago Elizabeth Jagger posed, arms aloft, in a series of portfolio photos sporting an extravagant curly perm with matching accessories.

Actress Helena Bonham Carter is also known to shun the razor, as are Emma Thompson and Miranda Richardson.

By contrast, the macho men of Chelsea Football Club have given the red card to upper body hair.

Several stars stripped off their shirts following last week's victory over Blackburn Rovers to reveal waxed chests gleaming under the floodlights.

The trend was started by England player Frank Lampard, who was photographed on holiday last year sporting a smooth top half - including hairless armpits.

Hollywood stars wore a red ribbon in solidarity with AIDS victims. Some wore a yellow ribbon in solidarity with the troops. I presume the hairy armpits are to show their solidarity with France.

Read her bio carefully and then recognize that this is one of the main groups associated with the modern Democratic Party. Is it any wonder that they are as dysfunctional as they are? People who do not know a lick about common sense and have no moral compass whatsoever are helping steering their ship!

This family has a long history of mental illness. Note that she used to be shacked up with Tom Green. I'd say that was far worse than the armpit thing...not that either should be applauded.

Why do you assume men with hairy armpits smell?

Growing up in Germany as an Army brat, I thought it was normal for women to also have hairy armpits.

Some may suggest that women that shave their armpits are shallow and slaves to the teachings Cosmo, Vague, and other fashion magazines.

Fact is... there is no proof that shaven or unshaven armpits make one smell better or worse.

Sorry....got to disagree on this one.

After three years in Germany in the 70's, and many nights dancing w/furry-legged/-pitted German girls in clubs and discos (sad, but true), my experience is that they generally smell like perfumed draft animals.

Maybe just walking around, it's OK, but don't let them work up a sweat (or is that a "glow?).

Besides, she's only doing it to shock people so they'll talk about her and fulfill her insecure, narcissistic personality disorder.

She's just flaunting the norm to prove how "progressive" she is ("Hey everyone look at me!!!...Please..Please).

I guess when one become a substance abuser at 9 (before one's brain is even halfway developed), it manifests itself in bizarre behaviors later in life.

Isn't this fairly common in most of Europe?

Not if you just bathed. But pit hair creates a better climate--warmer, moister--(and more surface area) to collect & trap body secretions & the growth of bacteria that feed on them.

And the growing number of "celebrities" who get their careers from nepotism like Drew.
