Having
underarm hair is the pits By DULCIE PEARCE

Hairy scary ... Zoe's unshaven
look is a turn-off

GORGEOUS celebs Julia Roberts, Drew
Barrymore and Beyonce have good looks, designer
clothes and tons of money.
But theres one thing they dont seem
to own a razor.
Female armpit hair is taboo in Britain, with
those who decide to go au naturel being labelled
as freaks.
But as more stars flash their fuzz, is it a
fashion to follow?
We asked Zoe Overthrow, 26, to grow her underarm
hair for two weeks to see how she felt and the
reaction she got from British men.
The account manager, from Redland, Bristol, keeps
her body hair waxed and trimmed to perfection. So
armpit hair is one of her biggest worries.
Zoe says: I spend a fortune making sure I
dont have a hair out of place and shave my
underarms every other day.
Having smooth legs and armpits makes me
feel more confident. Im worried having
hairy pits will make people think Im
grubby.
I know a lot of French women grow their
body hair, but its frowned on here and most
British men hate it.
The hair under my arms grows quickly, so
after two weeks its probably going to be
long enough to plait!
Zoe kept a diary of her armpit hair growth.
Here is how she got on.
DAY 1: Hiding my razor, Im worried
about the task ahead.
With my work Christmas party in two weeks, the
idea of flashing hairy pits among colleagues
terrifies me.
DAY 4: I would never allow my hair to get this
long usually, and Im already noticing how
horrible the bristles feel.
As a natural brunette the hair is very dark and
is very noticeable.
Im starting to feel paranoid about lifting
my arms in public and have taken to wearing only
long-sleeved tops to work.
DAY
7: Having half an inch of hair under my arms
feels really unhygienic and Im using more
deodorant than usual to over-compensate.
During a session at the gym, I catch the eye of a
personal trainer who gives me a wink.
Showing off, I hoist extra heavy weights above my
head hoping this will impress the body-building
hunk.
But as he turns away in disgust, I realise hes
seen the fuzz thats covering my pits.
Mortified, I run to the changing rooms, getting
out of my revealing gym vest and into a thick
jumper.
DAY 11: Im having to set my morning alarm
20 minutes early, as I am spending extra time in
the shower washing my armpits.
The hair there makes me feel paranoid I might
smell, and although Im covering my armpits
heavily with deodorant, its still
uncomfortable.
After the gym experience Im terrified that
people will spot my pits, so Im avoiding
reaching to any high shelves or flagging down
cabs.
Nearly fell over on the bus because I didnt
want to open my coat so I could hold the high
rails.
DAY 14 THE PARTY: Awoke with a mix of
relief and fear. Im pleased my challenge is
nearly up, but terrified I still have the biggest
obstacle left my Christmas party.
Fuzz
and bother ... fella at Zoe's Christmas
party is appalled at her pits

Putting
on my best cocktail dress and slapping on as much
make-up as possible, I hope it will be enough to
distract my work colleagues from my hairy pits.
On arrival, I reluctantly hand in my coat at the
cloakroom. In my strappy dress, my pits have
nowhere to hide.
Im immediately given a drink, but dont
want to raise the glass to my mouth in case
people get a flash of the fuzz.
Having drunk a couple of glasses of wine, I start
to feel tipsy.
Throwing caution to the wind I join my friends on
the dancefloor, lifting my arms in the air and
twirling around with a group of lads.
But the moment they see the dark hair under my
arms, they run away in horror.
To console myself, I order another drink from the
bar. But as I wave to catch the barmans
attention, he turns in the opposite direction.
After a few more hours of men avoiding me, I feel
self-conscious and ready for bed.
But before I lie down, there is one thing I have
to do shave my underarms.
The A-listers are welcome to have hairy
underarms, but I wont be growing them again
its the pits.

Comments: We
pity Zoe Overthrow and all the British Girls.
This shows the level of brainwashing against
armpitshair. During the last 10 years, after
Internet became popular, many sites made enormous
money just showing armpitshair of beatiful girls.
An armpits-starved generation welcomed these
pictures and the beatiful brave girls who dared
to show them. Earlier starlettes like Chloe
Vevrier appeared in Score Magazine and videos
exposing their armpits hair and people loved it.
ATK site, later, featured girls with armpitshair
and became instant sucess. These wre not prono
pictures but ordinary soft pictures exposing
armpits and hair.
Australian site AbbyWinters
also featured a few girls with natural
armpitshair.
Only hollywood stars, and
platsic models still do not see these!
Armpitshair is beatiful, sexya
nd erotic. Even if one doesn't display them all
the time, at least in some occasions girls should
have the courage to show it and make the male
population a little erotic. Anglo-Americans are
subconsciously aware of the sexual content of the
hairy armpits and it is their outward puritanism
whoch forces them to declare that armpits-hair is
ugly. If at all anything is ugly, it is their
mindset and the decades of brainwashing (by
Gillette and other razor companies!)
