Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 days agoTHANK YOU. The idea that this is some new trend drives me nuts. I wanna add on that waxing for body hair is even older than shaving; it’s extremely difficult to get a shaving edge with bronze tools (and shaving with flint sucks), but you can make sugaring paste with honey - and there’s evidence of it being done for beauty at least 30,000 years ago, and there’s plenty of evidence that it was common in ancient egypt, rome, greece, china…

I don’t think it’s the removal of body hair that is seen as “new”. It’s the way it’s ridiculed like in this post when there’s a tiny bit of stubble lol and it’s worth mentioning.
Though I wouldn’t say that’s new either, it’s just more and more widespread the wider the communication methods have become. But this isn’t “new” even in the modern world for Hollywood, it’s online now with the wider reach but this stuff has existed for as long as we’ve been photographing celebrities lol.
