"I'm just so glad I'm not a young woman now. I feel grateful that, at the time I first started having sex with men, I didn't even have a bikini wax and men were lovely. Now I just think: how terrifying to be a 20 year-old and feel that you've got to be perfect and hairless and immaculate and that it's really awful. I just- eurgh- I would never have got undressed."
Alexandra Shulman in a great interview in today's Observer. Read the rest here.

ReplyDeleteI think this all the time. In my 20s, the women were fuzzy and the men were damn grateful.

Is it really that bad though? There must be *some* nice fellas out there!

ReplyDeleteYes, there are of course lots of lovely fellas. Though it does seem like a bit of a self-perpetuating problem -pretty much all of my closest girlfriends have regular waxes, some get everything removed because it's seen as 'the done thing'. And this isn't a wax they're going and having for themselves. That's what seems a shame to me.
