Seeing such an exciting technicolor twist on hirsute styling opened my eyes to what could be done with pubes. At the time, I had been shaving and waxing down to a hairless sheen to stay in line with the fetish scene cool kids. When the filthy married 'villains' of the film (Raymond and Connie Marble) get busy on screen, they sport pubic hair dyed to match their electric manes in bright blue and reddish orange. This is probably why one of my most inspirational pubic hair moments occurred while watching John Waters' 1972 film Pink Flamingos back in high school. In the 70's, they knew how to have a good time with bush. Fortunately, there have been times when bush ran wild and free, and we celebrated pubes as the natural, unremarkable form of body hair that they are.

While below-the-belt grooming trends have changed shape (and length) over the years, female genital hair is still viewed as something that should never be, well, viewed.

Even in 2015, showing a little bush will get you kicked off Instagram, as one Australian magazine found out after they posted a picture of two models sporting some bikini line flyaways. Female pubic hair is totally trending - but not in the most body-positive way.
