Perfectly Coiffed Pubes
Perfectly Coiffed Pubes
...And other things that (DON'T) matter!
Ok… well, Monday has rolled round yet again on the Conveyor Belt of Life… so I thought we could have a chat about some very serious stuff.
First up: Pubes…
Yes, those curly little wisps of hair that show up around puberty, do absolutely nothing wrong, yet - somehow - end up being waxed, lasered, plucked and shaped into landing strips, and removed entirely so we can look like a naked mole rat.
BUT we don't stop there, do we?
We put false nails on top of our actual nails. Ugly, decorated (altho' I love glitter) long, bulky-shaped, making it almost impossible to pull up our knickers (sorry, I mean: Tiny Little Thongs) in the loo - whilst trying to make absolutely No Noise whatsoever as our body expels the "unwanted".
Then we glue on eyelashes because apparently the ones we have aren't enough.
We plump our lips...
We bleach our anuses (yes, that's a thing)...
Spend a small fortune making sure our vulvas look 'acceptable' - as if they're ever out on public display like an art exhibit.
WHY Are We Doing This?!
Seriously???
When did we all collectively agree that pubic hair was offensive? It actually serves an important health purpose btw… That our natural nails weren't good enough? That we needed to pour our hard-earned money into altering things that already exist perfectly well?
Sure, we tell ourselves, "Oh, I do it for me."
Erm… be honest… do you Really???
Would we honestly be shelling out £50 a month to have our pubes ripped out at the root if the beauty industry hadn't convinced us that a smooth, bald vulva was somehow 'cleaner,' 'sexier,' or 'normal'?
Would we be staring at our own vaginas thinking "Hmm… this could use a little landscaping" if we hadn't been fed a steady diet of porn and airbrushed magazine covers?
And while we're on it - why is women's body hair seen as disgusting, while men get to strut around with full-blown pubic jungles, proudly scratching their hairy bollocks, celebrating their peachy bum's capacity for loud farts with "good arse", without a second thought?
The Price of Beauty (Literally)
Let's do the maths:
Bikini wax – £50 every few weeks (plus extra if we have a hot date)
Gel nails – £30 every three weeks
Lash extensions – £60 a pop
Laser hair removal – £100s to zap away what will Naturally grow back anyway
Tweakments, Fillers, Botox, and the 'perfect' everything…
Literally thousands £$€.
Whaaaat??? Or more to the point: Whyyyyyyy??!!
Oh yes! To meet beauty standards that change every decade and are mega business whilst popular.
To impress people who probably aren't even paying that much attention?
To chase a version of ourselves that is just plain fake?
What If We Just… Didn't?
What if we let our pubes grow in all their curly, wild glory?
What if we stopped apologising for having a body that does what a body is meant to do?
What if we took all that money and spent it on actual joy - holidays, adventures, art, incredible food, or a massage?
Because let's be real - whether your vulva is bare as a baby's bum or rocking a full 70s bush, you are still you. Still worthy and lovable. Still sexy. Still entirely, completely, Enough, Exactly As You Are...
In fact, let me share a well-kept secret:
Lean in... this is pure gold: The more real, truly you, you honestly are… the more likeable and lovable you instantly become to everyone who enters your orbit.
It's true. I promise you.
Which is why I help you drop the masks… the facades… in Planet Kas, where YOU finally get to be YOU and your anxiety, stress, depression, pain will ease practically immediately…with nothing to prove, no standards to meet, no goals to achieve Just Be YOURSELF... this is so conducive to learning and growth in an environment of love and peace.
So, next time you find yourself booking another appointment to have hot wax poured onto your most sensitive bits, maybe pause for a second and ask:
"Do I actually want this, or have I just been convinced that I do?"
Because maybe, just maybe, we were never the problem in the first place.
