I have only one word for her: YUCK!

[az wildkitten]

You're just some SMART GUY.

Rule of thumb - actors are goofy. Hairy pits (and legs) were all the rage in the 60's too. It showed you were a "natural woman." Somehow you were resisting "the man" by throwing away your razors. So dopey.

I'm still wondering how she can be a "heavy drinker" at age 9, and into drugs at 11. Wasn't a parent or two around at that time?

I find it interesting that no one ever talks about unshaven men as having bad hygiene. If a woman doesn't want to shave that's ok. It might be a little weird at first but it wouldn't kill me.

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

LOLOL!!

Parents? I believe her parents are the ones who introduced her to both drugs and alcohol.

I'm glad they circled the armpit in that picture of Drew. I'd have never found it otherwise.

[lentulusgracchus]

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.

Yeah, like coming on Letterman's show, jumping up on his desk and dancing -- and flashing her chest at him.

Yup, she flashed Letterman.

Jacobs is famed for his grunge-inspired look - and Drew certainly fitted in.

And it's "fit in."

[smiley]

Hollyweird is definitely the "Soddom and Gamorrah(sp?)" of our time.....most of the women are sleazy and some of the men don't care what morals and values they emit from the screen......sad....very, very sad......

[SMARTY]

I went to college with girls like that. No perfume, no makeup, no hair style, dirty, torn and wrinkled clothes and above all no personal hygiene. I used to love to go into the ladies and put on lipstick and fix my hair. If looks could kill... Of course, many of today's liberal females still buy into the earth mother, 'let's all be plain and dumpy' thing. It didn't work then and it still doesn't work. I don't know a man who is turned on by 'sloppy'.

[OldBlondBabe]

By the looks of this photo, proof she's not a natural blonde.....

No it's not.

[KKing]

It is a subject hardly mentioned because I suspect it suggests women are slaves to fashion and still shackled by a society that frowns upon women with unshaven armpits.

Admit it ladies... you're shallow.

[Rokke]

"I presume the hairy armpits are to show their solidarity with France."

That is one of the funniest things I have ever read on FreeRepublic.

[Rokke]

You've got to see this one.

[AppyPappy]

"Gooney goo hoo"

[R. Scott]

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

I think the blame goes to Gillette. They decided they could double their market for razor blades if they could get women to use them. A successful advertising campaign convinced women that shaved legs and pits were sexy. We are seeing the same thing today with depilatories being advertised for men – he denudes his chest and arms and a young attractive woman is all over him.

[Maria S]

"And more "confusion" among the sexes. Men shaving their chests and women growing armpit hair. Ugh"


No kidding!!! I personally find a hairy-chested man verrrry sexy. And well-groomed women always shave under their arms, for goodness sakes!

As far as Drew B. is concerned, if she lived in the Texas Panhandle, we'd all probably think that she's not quite right in the head.
