Remember when Madonna was a young punk? Well, back in high school, her personal hygiene wasn't exactly ... traditional. And she wasn't very popular with the boys. "The boys in my school would make fun of me," she says in the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar, adding that they called her a "hairy monster."
“And then, going to high school, I saw how popular girls had to behave to get the boys. I knew I couldn’t fit into that. So I decided to do the opposite. I refused to wear makeup, to have a hairstyle. I refused to shave. I had hairy armpits." Later on, Madonna adds, "Straight men did not find me attractive. I think they were scared of me because I was different."

Today, if you really want to annoy Madonna, mention her age (she's 53). "I find whenever someone writes anything about me, my age is right after my name. It’s almost like they’re saying, 'Here she is, but remember she’s this age, so she’s not that relevant anymore.' When you put someone’s age down, you’re limiting them."
And believe it or not, if Madonna hadn't been a pop superstar, she might have been a ... copy editor. Of teenage daughter Lourdes's blogs, she says: "I proofread her blogs and edit them. I give her a hard time when I think she’s being a lazy writer."

+19There is nothing 'unhygienic' about unshaven skin. Just because my husband is hairy does not make him 'disgusting', and most women who prefer not to shave by personal choice (unlike many women who shave to please 'society') keep themselves very clean.
that just made me put down the one i was about to light up!!!!

My vote goes to the nonexistent "Who cares??" option.
Hairy pits might not be attractive, I can agree with that, but there's nothing GROSS about being natural.
Dogs do it, cats do it, and before we even HAD sidewalks and toilets, humans did it too.
Still gross?
Not for me though.
