Blimey, fetch the hedgetrimmers someone (do not click if squeamish)

ps - my nickname is an old one which I have dusted off for this occasion, rather suitable, non ?

i don't think it's the Madonna as in Like a Virgin. isn't it just the title of the photo as in Allo Allo's "Fallen Madonna with the Bog Boobies"?

NotADragonOfSoup · 18/01/2009 20:53

Don't forget that photo was taken before we all became obsessed with Lady Gardening.

MaryAnnSingleton · 18/01/2009 20:57

it's a ladywilderness I think

LaDiDaDi · 18/01/2009 20:57

Was that not the style in 1979???

chancelloroftheexCHEQUERS · 18/01/2009 20:58

I actually think that the pubic hair is this picture's saving grace.

Otherwise it would have been a full-on up the beaver shot.

TheInvisibleBardDidIt · 18/01/2009 20:59

Wait, wait...theres a name for a pubic wig???? As in there is such a thing??????

WHY would anyone need one????????

RiaParkinson · 18/01/2009 20:59

lol rolf harris

AWFUL pic and waist high pubic area ( retch)

troutpout · 18/01/2009 21:01

I thought it looked ok

harpsichordcarrier · 18/01/2009 21:02

as Soupy says, in 1979 we weren't repulsed by the sight of pubic hair. the world hadn't yet gone fkn mad.

bollockbrain · 18/01/2009 21:04

fuck me, it looks like a bears bed

SheherazadetheGoat · 18/01/2009 21:06

i think it is a lovely picture.

Heathcliffscathy · 18/01/2009 21:06

do you know what. although i am slightly less hirsute, that is a normal hairy muff. normal.

no ladygardening.

we didn't used to have to.

funny how we're our own worst enemies in this respect isn't it?

and funny how unshaven underarms on a woman are considered the height of subversive awfulness. how come?

have you ever considered why a woman that doesn't shave pluck and trim is considered so beyond the pale and unattractive?

bringmeashrubbery · 18/01/2009 21:07

Would agree obsession with being hairless now is madness - I was only 11 in 1979 so have never known otherwise...

Heathcliffscathy · 18/01/2009 21:07

and i'm a shithead for saying i'm slightly less hirsute. who gives a fuck.

she is beautiful in that picture.

bollockbrain · 18/01/2009 21:10

that might be a normal hairy muff at the front but it is as thick as a forest right up the arse

PartOfTheHumphreysGroup · 18/01/2009 21:10

I agree shoppingbags - I don't think it's actually 'madonna' as in madge.

She's not exactly hairfree everywhere else either - check out those armpits - that would take a few months to grow..

RiaParkinson · 18/01/2009 21:10

dp said gosh hairy armpits!

bringmeashrubbery · 18/01/2009 21:11

I am very hirsute and can't be arsed to trim most of the time. Still feel pressure when going out, on the beach though. It feels shameful to be hairy somehow...

'Tis the real Madge - got link to Christies from BBC website

looks like an entirely normal untrimmed bush to me. That's what all you people shrieking 'OMG' would look like if you didn't garden. That's what women are supposed to look like. Only we have this very dodgy culture that insists adult females should mimic pre-pubescent girls. Yet panic about paedophiles. Very, very strange.

paolosgirl · 18/01/2009 21:14

Ok Bringme - what on earth were you looking for in order to actually find that picture. Do tell

It is a bit on the hirsute side, granted, but Crikey, I want those breasts

PottyCock · 18/01/2009 21:14

Of course it is the real Madonna - unmistakable imo!

ClementFreudsGreatestAdmirer · 18/01/2009 21:15

i think it is definitely madonna. and i think she's completely normal, and the only bits i trim are the ones that show outside my swimming costume. you are (nearly) all bonkers.

Ledodgy · 18/01/2009 21:15

I'm with Edam on this.

paolosgirl · 18/01/2009 21:16

I agree edam. I'm very dubious about this need for grown women to resemble pre-pubescent girls.
