History Main / HairyGirl

* Singer Music/PattiSmith was militant enough on this issue for the front cover of her ''Easter'' album to show Patti in a tight sleeveless t-shirt, flaunting hairy pits.

Meanwhile, if the trope isn't actually rubbing your face in it, odds are that it's a means to simply distinguish a female character as [[{{Hipster}} unique]], [[TheLadette rugged]], or [[EarthMother au naturale]]. High school girls like this are traditionally associated with {{Nerd}}s.

* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' Toot Braunstein is shown to have hairy legs.

* Boost Mobile features a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-jtUFc0fM4 commercial]] where a BikerBabe has comedically long armpit hair hitting her tandem rider in the face behind her. She asks, "You think that's wrong? Hidden cell phone fees are wrong."

* Borat's daughter Tutar spends most of the movie comically neglected and ungroomed in ''Film/BoratSubsequentMoviefilm'' prior to her makeover. During her "fertility dance" at the debutante ball, her armpits are noticeably hairy, and later on her leg hair is visible in other scenes. Most notably, at the hair salon they visit, she flashes her bikini area and pubic air after the hairdresser says "Let's have a look at that hair", and then later awkwardly quips "...Not that hair."

* ''Series/TheMiddle''. In the episode "Role of a Lifetime" Axl torments Sue in one scene by telling her he thought of a good insult towards her but won't tell her what it is. Sue then starts rattling off guesses, one of which asks "Is it my unruly leg hair?"

* ''Film/{{Titanic}}'': The nude girls sketched in Jack's portfolio have unshaved underarms, which is accurate for both the period and setting (they modeled for him while he lived in Paris). Later, when Rose disrobes for her own drawing her pubic mound is very thick.

* ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'': Judith is shown to be one in her nude scene after she and Brian are discovered by his mother after having had sex. This is TruthInTelevision for most women at the time.

Compare the NewAgeRetroHippie and GranolaGirl. WartsAndAll is another related trope, especially when it's not meant to be funny. Compare female examples of BaldHeadOfToughness, where a ''lack'' of hair on the head is used to communicate that a female character is tougher and sometimes [[LongHairIsFeminine less feminine/more masculine]] than other women. Similarly, {{Delinquent Hairstyle}}s that involve shaving/baldness use a lack of hair to combat gendered beauty standards and norms. Contrast PermaShave, which is often the complete inversion of this trope, especially in a situation where the women would find shaving impossible. Also not to be confused with GirlsWithMoustaches, which focuses on the unnatural phenomenon of women possessing thick, properly-styled facial hair.

* ''ComicBook/FoxTrot'': Roger decides to stop shaving for a while. Unfortunately, it comes out scruffy and unimpressive. Andy finally tells him that fine, he doesn't have to shave. Roger is ecstatic, until...
