also I don't know if you all saw the Wet Leg debacle over on social media, basically people have been hounding their social media ever since Glastonbury was broadcast because their singer Rhian has decided she's done covering up and playing coy cottagecore, instead she's beefed up those biceps, bleached her eyebrows, come out as a lesbian and is flaunting those muscles... with armpit hair. Now I know every single lesbian on here has been cheering every new article I added to that description. Me too, babes, me too. The repressed men and women of social media however are a Whole Different (tellingly straight, also) Story.

They cannot fucking get over a woman with armpit hair. Rhian has been talking about it in interviews too, because that's how much they've been commenting: on the band's socials, on Youtube under their Glasto performance, under random indie rock accounts talking about their music, under the BBC socials, fucking endless! At one point, Rhian has been saying she's stopped deleting these comments so people can see for themselves how out of pocket the comments from complete strangers who think they should have control over another woman's body were getting (NYLON mag interview).

Anyway, come album release week and Wet Leg are potentially on their way to a #1 UK album, though since it is also Oasis reunion month, they are also being bought expeditiously (Time Flies compilation, decades old, nothing new). Rhian jumps in on this with a video basically saying, "no idea why people are offended by a grown woman not looking pre pubescent but fine, here's a deal: buy the album, if we get to #1 I'll shave the armpit hair."

Thankfully there was equal demand for both moisturizer the album as well as leaving Rhian's armpits unbothered, and so the album finished at the top of the charts and the band posted a very funny post of guitarists Hester and Rhian ceremoniously shaving the armpits of the three men in the band. Many cheers from the girls in the crowd! Many cheers from me!! Resigned acceptance from some of the internet men.

Interestingly, some of the men in the comments were commiserating with the Wet Leg lads: "oof, that's gonna be hell in a week when they start to grow back". That's never a problem when policing a woman's body hair. Curious.

Anyway long live Rhian Teasdale and long live Rhian Teasdale's armpit hair. 💪💚💚

Also Rhian's partner is genderqueer, Rhian says

TERF FUCK OFF.

“Some people are just so angry,” she says about the response to her new look. “Particularly men. The cottagecore was sweet and kind of femme enough. [They were like,] ‘This is cool. This is for me. It’s a little bit cheeky. It’s a little bit sexual.’ That was fine. And now that I’m showing a bit more skin, and I’ve got armpit hair and I’ve got muscles, it just feels like it’s really threatening to them.”
