Katy Perry's armpit
April 10, 2009 at 12:55 PM UTC

Personally, I think a bit of hair or at least some stubble would look far sexier than baldness, but perhaps that's just me still stuck in the 70's or dreaming of all the hairy women I saw the first time I went to Europe in the 80's as a shy young American college lad.
Can anybody explain the appeal of the armpit glamour shot? You never see it used in pictures of men or real female musicians who are playing the Club.

Haha, I've noticed myself mesmerized by the armpit last night and this morning. Why make your pit the focal point of a "band photo"?

i think it has less to do with highlighting the pit than having her arm in the air as something to playfully hide behind - so raise your bare arm = showing your pit. why she couldn't we a top with sleeves - who knows. take a look at a "nightlife"/"where to go out" publication and you'll see lots of men doing the hide-behind-the-arm-pit shot. admittedly, they're mostly ads for gay dance clubs :P
let's agree to disagree about ladies shaving their arm pits. file it under my preference for
vive la difference. men are big hairy apes, women are smooth visions of beauty and grace. and before someone gets on my case, yes i realize it's a pain, and can be seen as oppressive, and why don't you go shave yourself mister, etc.
a while back i was thinking of starting a thread on personal grooming/trimming habits. maybe we can re-purpose this one…

Sure they are, if that's the way they choose to groom themselves.

There are women that are hairier than me.
I had a fight with a lesbian coworker once. I eventually had to use a fighting word so I called her "chewbacca".
She went nuts.

What is the freaking obsession with women and bangs in the mid-atlantic region? I've been wondering that myself.

Is Katy Perry from around here?
My wife was trying to do the bang thing for awhile, much to my dismay. She seems to have some to her senses.

Glad I'm not the only one. I caught some shit the other night from friends who were speaking in the tone of "who cares? as long as they bend over…" Well, sure, but it still doesn't change the fact bangs look fucking stupid and fresh out of a bad 80's movie.

Thanks for the compliment Mr. Shine. But I still won't be starting my own blog thread.

Are you afraid the views will equal the number of posts?
