Trinny "lets the side down"

I'm completely gobmacked by an article I have just come across in The Daily Mail. The female writer lambasts Trinny Woodall for appearing "Au Naturel"- this is code for hairy armpits.

Apparently this is the most heinous of sartorial crimes. The writer subjects Trinny to a tirade of abuse and accuses her of being lazy and slut-like. Trinny looked pretty stylish to me . Women have hairy armpits. It is a fact that grown women have body hair though if you look at the multitude of media images of women which surround us on a daily basis you would not realise this. It is refreshing that someone like Trinny can show the world that women do indeed have body hair.

However it does seem that even this writer does recognise that there is something deeply wrong with our society's expectation that women have no body hair.

"Now we even have the Hollywood wax, where no hair at all is left behind, a trend that follows the fashion diktat that women should all look 12 years old."

Adult women have body hair. It's not sluttish, disgusting or immoral. It is The Daily Femail section writers who have "let the side down".

My ex used to think that body hair on women was sexy. He used to think that de-pubed looked too much like a child. Err well yes that says a lot about some men dosen't it?
