so unless the entire feminist blogosphere is plugged into your rss reader, you might've missed this crazy hoopla about mo'nique's hairy legs.
here's the thing. i'm attending an awards show on sunday (i'm performing and i'm up for an award). i'm wearing a sleeveless dress. i haven't shaved since approximately august, and now i'm wondering: would the act of not shaving my pits carry any kind of message specific to the moment? could it be perceived as solidarity? or am i reinforcing the notion that a woman's body is open for public scrutiny?
anyone?
