In an opinion piece, Cameron Stracher, the publisher of the
New York Law School Law Review, rather subversively suggests that "manscaping," or "body defoliation," or just
plain shaving to some of us, has moved into the mainstream because Gillette, Schick and other manufacturers are themselves pushing hairlessness.
This would include a YouTube video
Gillette has issued titled
"How To Shave
Your Groin." "In the best tradition of hucksterism," Stracher writes, "we must have what we don't need." (Which, in this case, is less of what we actually have. Go
figure.)
Anyway, having recently seen a revival of the Sixties' musical "Hair," which famously celebrates the hirsute in all of its diverse and multicultural glory,
Stracher suggests that the zeitgeist may be better suited to a new production called "Bald." It's a fun piece.
