Because artists must be mocked as dirty, unkept hippies. This trope has bothered my family of artists and I for years.
For you new people. Artists look like your dad, or your school principal. Sometimes they look like hippies, but most people (not all!) who dress the part are not artists and very likey posers or hangabouts.
I meet someone once that made a point to never cut their armpit bush for some reason. I don’t know they seemed to treat it like some ideological mission… it was weird but like as long as you don’t stink?? I guess you gotta buy armpit shampoo or smh
I think that laser hair removal is sane and modern way to deal with this stinky stuff
