10 weeks of no shaving, starting today!

(Singer Madonna)

Because why conform to society's ideals of beauty?

We've been conditioned to believe that the absence of hair is attractive, and that hair in certain places and in certain styles is unattractive.

Who decided that for us?

Who taught us that it's okay to make fun of people that don't shave?

Who told us that special occasions call for hairless legs and under arms?

I'm doing this to prove that society doesn't control what's considered beautiful on me, I do.

I'm doing this because I am beautiful exactly the way I am, without alteration.

And I might just stop shaving forever, because I'm so much more than the hair on my body.
