silly but true remark


How on earth a woman that lives in the woods can have her legs and other parts of the body shaved???Never saw a movie that actually stays true to this facts!

Not everybody has body hair. I had a friend who had never shaved her legs and didn't have any hair on them.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

O come on you're saying that in aaaaaall the movies they make people just happen to be the exception. That 5% of humans that have no body hair!!!seriously???!!Imagine Hollywood with actresses in movies with hair on some parts of the body (and I am talking about our century where looks matter!!!

reply

Because then people would be complaining that the characters were gross and hairy. Seems like every time there's a (usually somewhat period-accurate) portrayal of a woman with body hair there's someone who points it out as an offending negative. A movie can be transgressive on all other fronts, but it won't dare give the ladies pit hair. That's too far.

While your at it, might as well ask why the Woman living in the woods, who is strong enough to kill other people and wild animals with bare-hands (or a knife), has flabby arms.

I could understand her not being muscular but I call bs on her not being more lean or having muscular definition. Honestly though, I assume its just not always easy to find people who don't shave or convince them to go a long time without shaving in order to better look the part for a role.

She definitely had underarm hair in the beginning when tied up and dirty. She also wasn't shaved down below. It did look trimmed though, but not all women have a lot of hair down there, or anything visible on their legs, just like some men don't either.
