About this episode

This episode explores the historical and cultural significance of pubic hair removal from Ancient Egypt to modern times.

From the sugared thighs of Ancient Egypt to the shimmering vajazzles of the 2000s, this solo episode dives deep into the sensual, political, and power-laden history of pubic hair removal. Bradford takes Angela on an intimate journey through time—where grooming rituals weren’t just about beauty, but about gender, class, control, and desire. We trace how hairlessness became sacred, sinful, scandalous, and—eventually—optional. Along the way, we explore sugaring, topiary, pubic contouring, and the commodification of the vulva in porn and pop culture. This is a history of bodies shaped by others—and what it means when we take that shape back. Because hair has never just been hair. Want to help us out? Sure you do!!!
