Ok, let’s play a game of ‘spot the most shocking thing about this photo of Lily Allen at Glastonbury’.
You ready?
Is it:
a) Her excellent new multi-coloured hair?
b) Her nipple that’s poking out of her top?
Or c) Her virtually non-existent armpit hair?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Give yourself a pat on the back if you choose c) Her virtually non-existent armpit hair.
Said armpit hair has been picked up and reported on by the British tabloids, because apparently a female with armpit hair is a still newsworthy topic. It’s so newsworthy that it trumped her rogue nipple. What kind of madness is this that underarm hair beats a celebrity wardrobe malfunction? Then again, maybe we’ve finally made some traction with the #FreeTheNipple campaign?
But back to Glastonbury for a moment. If ever there was a place for a celebrity to debut their armpit hair, that place is Glastonbury.
For the uninitiated, Glastonbury is a five-day music festival held in Somerset, England. Think The Big Day Out: British edition, with 100 times more mud. It’s where Kate Moss first made Hunter gumboots a thing.
And now, Lily Allen is hoping make armpit hair A THING… I jest, I jest. She just has armpit hair, that’s it.
Personally, I can’t draw my eyes away from her sparkly eye makeup and awesome multi-coloured hair. Yes, the stuff on her head.
