There are many things going on here, and writing about it seems to diminish them. So I won't.

Letting Your Hair Down

I read this article about Shazia Mirza's take on the topic of female body hair. Just so happens that she has an event coming up. I wish I could attend. Shazia is a stand up comedian, so it sounds like it will be a great time.

BBC CALLING ALL WOMEN!

HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE WORLD IS GETTING LESS AND LESS HAIRY? IN FACT A TINY BIT OF BODY HAIR IS ALMOST A SIN!

The BBC is making a programme as part of the Body Image season about women's body hair. As a Nation we are getting more and more extreme about removing our body hair. Is this a feminist battle that has been well and truly lost? The programme is presented by a comedian Shazia Mirza, who has made a new year's resolution to let her body hair grow out-and the programme is documenting her experiences. We are looking for women with across the UK of all ages to join the cause and to let their hair grow for an event which will be held at the famous Café De Paris in Piccadilly Circus. The highlight of the show will be a catwalk with ladies wearing hairy lingerie that are motivated to create a new trend. If you are interested in joining in or just want some more information please contact Katharina Urban on 02087525591 or email to hairy@bbc.co.uk
