Drew adopts the natural look (HAIRY ARMPITS IN HOLLYWOOD)

I lived in Germany for 7 years and got lazy about shaving - figured I didn't look worse that all the locals.

But isn’t that “The Look”? We see celebrities and male runway models with a two or three day growth.
Personally, I think a man should either grow a beard or shave. I grew a beard.

[N8VTXNinWV]

Yuck! I'm glad I shaved under my arms this morning... I thought I was looking a little "Frenchy" with three days of growth. :o)

[N8VTXNinWV]

Hairy, Frenchy, disgusting pingarooskie!!

[Ditto]

LOL

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!! Too Much Information!! (Just kidding!) Actually, the one I'm wondering about is "Elizabeth Jagger [who] posed, arms aloft, in a series of portfolio photos sporting an extravagant curly perm with matching accessories." Curly armpit hair? (shudder)

Good information on armpit hygiene, especially if you don't know already that hair traps sweat, which allows smelly bacteria to grow.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

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

I am really afraid to ask, but I have to. Just what are 'matching accessories' for one's pits? Jewels velcroed on? Barrettes? Did she have the hair gathered and braided? Did she add extentions and a weave? My imagination fails me...

Wow standard fashion in Ithaca (City of Evil-ping) has actually infected Hollywood.

and I thought we could contain this plague.

"Natural.....Natural for the wooley mammoth."

Darned right! That's why we're born with a razor built into our middle finger, right?

[cyborg]

I don't shave my underarms. If that makes me in league with the filthy French then so be it. I don't read those magazines AT ALL. Spot on!

[BB2]

Wanna bet she'll shave if it's a choice between that and no part in another movie?

I doubt any studio would cast her in any role involving nudity, swimsuit, sleeveless, or any other type of clothing that would offer even a glimpse of her armpits.

Wait..... that's a good thing, right?

[Vor Lady]

You sir, are wise!

[MineralMan]

"Oh come on, not shaving ones armpits is not filthy as long as one continues to bathe."

Ah, but to the youngsters here, it's unimaginable that a women doesn't shave her pits. I've known women who did and women who didn't, and there's no difference, as far as I'm concerned.

Armpit shaving is a very recent thing, historically. Some men, especially young ones, just can't deal with women, except on a very shallow level. It's all about appearances for them. Too bad...

[manic4organic]

Gotta agree with you on that. I wonder who'd have a problem with this if if were Patricia Heaton or another conservative celebrity?

Also, anyone remember the days when men actually had chest hair. All you see anymore in movies, magazines, etc., are shaved guys. Girly men.

I'd say you're right on with A, C and D.

But even an fat woman with big feet should be able to clean herself and match the drapes with the carpet!

I saw your message, too. Good for you! As a guy who has a full beard (for over 35 years) and all of my body hair, body hair on women doesn't bother me one bit.

There's a lot more to a woman than her armpits. The boys here on the thread seem to be put off by it. I guess they're just too delicate in their sensibilities to be attracted to a woman who doesn't shave. Funny!

Human armpits are the source of some very interesting pheromones. Shaving eliminates those, as does overuse of deodorant products.

Regular bathing is all that's needed, IMO.

LOL

[cyborg]

Well if some guys are offended by a hairy woman, oh well some women aren't for them. Not everyone wants to look like a preteen girl. I guess it depends on where one lives and how much influence modern fashion culture has on people.
