Natural and feminine

Fun fact. This is the original, but it's been revised and changed so much it looks nothing like the original anymore.

Conversation I had with my 6 year old cousin:

*context: I have never shaved my arms and never will

Him (sitting in my lap): you have hairy arms. Lots of hair

me: yeah, they’re cool aren’t they

Him: Mummy doesn’t have hairy arms

me: no, some people do and some people don’t, it’s their choice. Do you think it would be better if I didn’t have any and took it off?

Him: nooooo they’re soft *starts stroking them* I like it

God he’s so cute, I wish he was my son

But anyway, I wanted to share because it’s my catalyst for a mini rant about body hair positivity, and he may be six but his comment really made me feel much better about myself! So a major reminder that body hair image, positive or negative, is just socialisation. You’re not unclean or dirty for having it, and god you are not any less feminine for keeping it. I will always be proud of the way my guy is growing up, and its in situations like these this I’m so greatful for it, but I know others may not have the same positive/affirming experiences I do.

The stigma around female body hair is real. For anyone that’s struggling with their body hair, whether you choose shave it or don’t, remember it’s YOUR body, YOUR choice, and all that matters is how you feel about it. Hairless? Great! Hairy? Cool! To very cringefully or tastefully quote Dr Seuss, those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind. It’s literally your business and only yours. Like why are you mad I still have it? Did you want some to knit with?

I personally think the natural female body is the 8th wonder of the world.

There’s so much to say on this topic, but in short, this post is just a gentle reminder that if you want it: keep it. Facial, back, hands, stomach, chest, arms, armpits, toes, legs, nose, eyebrows. This is what makes you beautiful（╹◡╹）♡ And bonus points! It keeps you warm!!! How cool is that?

Also remember my cousin thinks it’s nice, so there’s that to. He’s cheering you on at the sidelines

There is nothing on this planet like the female body. It’s intoxicating, mesmerizing and hypnotizing.

Muddly, semi drunk rant by just another female artist:

I love the thing. I love old paintings because LOOK AT THEM. Their shapes are magnificent. They look soft and smooth and God. I love this. I can't say how much I love drawing full hips and pouches. And those legs? Fabulous.

The feminine shape is so lovely, and it's always my favourite bit about drawing. No matter the weight or height, I love it. I love the silhouette of a full figured, heavy set woman just as much as I like those of tall and spindly ones because they're all perfection in their own right. I love all the shapes, curved and straight, flat, rounded and pointy. All of them are fucking gorgeous.

And so many women, people, won't ever see the same wondrous thing I do. It's devastating! Where I - and many other artists - see wonderful shapes and lines they see flaws and things that need to be "fixed". Fixed!

Jesus, everytime someone says that, a dead renaissance artist cries a single tear.

Honestly, the guy who decided that women had to be thin to be beautiful (or all the other things we're forced to be in order to achieve beauty) can unrespectfully go fuck himself. Hard.

(And there's nothing wrong with thin, pouchless women. We love all shapes in this house, and I could go on a rant about the beauty of your hipbones and ribs, but I won't. Unless you ask me to, then I might. Because I totally can.)

if you hate this Thing, then the Thing you hate is actually just the female form
