She may have a full bush, but she wears fake hair, fake eyelashes, and makeup. Everyone does something to 'enhance'. She also clearly waxes her eyebrows, soo ..
I just happen to have an issue with the trend toward women feeling they have to be bare down there. I'm fine with waxing the parts that show with a bikini but taking everything off to please a man just seems unnecessary to me.

Why in the world do you think women are doing it to please a man? I don't know a woman, myself included, who actively get brazilians or laser to please a man. Is that what folks think is going on?

Please enlighten me. I've heard Howard Stern talking about it. Having no hair or just a landing strip down there. Seems to be it would be painful to have all that removed.

Howard Stern is your source?! Lol. Pretty sure most women do it of their own preference and have their own preference to if they want it all gone or to leave some. Some women feel it's too pre-pubescent to take it all off so they leave a strip while others prefer no hair. But please don't relate women choosing to do this with seeking to please a man. I'm sure there are some women out there doing it to please a man but that argument can be made for many other things we women do. There are women who prefer lovely lace undergarments, we don't automatically assume it's for a man.

It's just like getting a lip, leg or underarm waxing. I wouldn't say it's super painful; the sting happens as the was strip is removed and then the sting is gone same with any other waxing. I haven't waxed in years and just did laser everywhere because I got tired of shaving, waxing prep, making appointments, finding time, etc. Personally, I like to be able to throw on a dress, swimsuit, skirt, shorts and not have to think "oh ish, I need to shave". It saves time.

thank you for explaining your reasons for wanting to remove unwanted hair
I have had bikini waxing just to clean up the area that would show. It's my personal opinion that the pubic hair is there for a reason and no need to remove it. And although you say it's not painful, I didn't find waxing down there to be a particularly fun experience. It's a personal matter and I'm probably older than you so that may influence my views. To each her own.

Yeah definitely. I think the more often you wax, the less it hurts. I got to a point that I didn't feel it at all so maybe I'm not even remembering the initial pain.

I agree with berrydiva. A woman can have a preference for her own body that has nothing to do with what a man prefers. Additionally, why would pubic hair be regarded any differently from leg hair or underarm hair? Some people choose to not shave or otherwise remove their body hair; others feel more comfortable without it. Neither choice is right or wrong. I wax regularly because I prefer how clothing feels without body hair. IMO, pubic hair is as uncomfortable under tights as leg hair is. I prefer smooth skin. While there may be slightly more pain with waxing, the regrowth is far less uncomfortable for me (less itchy, no ingrown hairs), so it is a fair trade-off.

Ashley Graham on Saturday shared a trio of images on her Instagram account, highlighting her enviable curves.

The Lincoln, Nebraska native, 29, was posed inside a home walking up the stairs, then resting on a rail on a glass fencing upstairs.

Ashley, who appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, wore all denim in the alluring shots, as she had on a dark blue shoulder-less top with buttons down the front, with form-fitting blue jeans.
