00:04Who do you think you are now?
00:08Come into a place like this.
00:11It was one of the most empowering things that we did.
00:13I've been growing my armpit hair out just for a few months now.
00:17Just reached like two years with armpit hair.
00:20I tend to have a little bit more body hair in general.
00:24It's not like super curly and crazy or long.
00:27It just like is longer than most people's hair.
00:30Growing up, my arm hair was always kind of embarrassing for me.
00:37Yeah, I was made fun of growing up for my eyebrows.
00:39Kids who are younger than me used to call me Laura Zilla all the time.
00:42Someone said I looked like a monkey.
00:45The last time I stopped shaving, I decided to just because I could like get away with it.
00:51My hair is really fair.
00:51I don't really like shaving my eyebrows.
00:54I think it's the most uncomfortable thing to shave.
00:56I have razor burn.
00:58You just don't have to.
01:06My favorite thing about my brush is probably that it matches all of the vintage playbooks that I have.
01:15Full bush.
01:19Some people care, some don't.
01:22I prefer to date someone that likes it.
01:25I think it's my like weeding people out.
01:30I think there's like a move towards kind of acceptance of body hair.
01:35When I like see other women out in public who have like their own stuff like arm up or something,
01:40I feel like I'm in like a super cloak.
01:43I like it.
01:44See?
01:45I don't really make you feel embarrassed about anything about myself.
01:48I mean I think anyone should do anything they want to do to their body.
01:51Like it's your body, it's however you want to represent yourself.
01:54I've learned over the years to just kind of, you know, roll with it and deal with it.
01:57Being tiny with the rest of it and it's, you know, a party.
