12 Jun Bella Thorne’s Armpits Are Making Headlines For One Utterly Ridiculous Reason

Every summer without fail – scratch that, even well before the summer begins – the media will bombard us with messages pushing forward the whole “beach body ready” agenda.

This agenda suggests that in order for a woman to legitimately pull off a bikini, she should be as slender as possible and basically be completely free of any kind of flab or imperfection.

Of course, the alternative to this is that she turns up at the beach, entirely unbothered by the opinions of strangers, reveling in self-confidence and total freedom. According to society, this is the less desirable of the options.

But believe it or not – the concept of beach body readiness is not merely about how slim and toned you are, apparently it’s also about how you choose to groom your body.

Yes, although it is entirely natural, in the last few decades it has been regarded as socially unacceptable for a woman to let her armpit hair grow without – shock horror – taking a razor to it and trimming it at the very least.

And it’s certainly not just ordinary women that are lambasted for growing out their armpit hair.

Remember the “infamous” moment at the 1999 London premiere of Notting Hill when Julia Roberts turned up in a glam red dress without having shaved her pits.

In fact, often those in the public eye are held at a higher standard. I mean, they are regarded as the epitome of all things elegance and glamor and according to popular opinion, armpit hair does not fall into either of these categories.
