Mary, Mary, quite contrary, why don’t you let your garden grow?
1. Let it grow. Let. It. Grow.
2. How do you feel? Why?
3. Do you wear/not wear certain things? Why?
4. Do your friends laugh at you? Why? Or do they give your armpit hair awesome names like Odin’s Beard?
5. Does your partner yelp at an overgrown ladygarden? Or will they embrace a hairy minge? Why?
‘The first time I ever experienced concern about my body hair was in a sports class, when I was 12. I remember sitting with my legs outstretched in front of me, clad in blue basketball shorts. My legs were covered in springy, dark hair, but I was admiring the way my calves curved and the colour of my skin. A girl sat next to me, took one look at my legs, and snorted. “You should really shave, you know,” she said. And that night, I stole a razor from my sister and started what would become a lifetime journey of shaving my legs – one that I resent, but can’t seem to end.
