"The anatomic bomb" of Italian cinema... did not shave her armpits! Ahah! Take that, social norm!
I accidentally noticed this while watching "Too bad she's bad", great film with Sophia and Marcello Mastroianni, and Vittorio de Sica!
This is the ultimate proof that you can get all the sensual charm of a true mediterranean diva without beocoming a child-like porcelain doll.
Because that is what women look like these days: children. Tiny, fragile, hairless. Puberty is a tragedy for us all. Even the ample breasts and hips factor that made Brigite Bardot or Marilyn Monroe icons is restricted in appeal to the porn circuit (and even about that... I'm not so sure). The leaner, the smoother, the smaller the better.
The effect? We all become little young girls in the arms of everyone and anyone. We are so not powerful, so not sexy, so not women. We are just vulnerable, naughty, like 14 year olds wondering what being alone with that guy would be like.
Is this why out Western society is so fascinated and paranoid about pedophilia? Because, in a way, we all deep inside know this does not come out of the blue? Like 19th century Victorian painters, we share a mesmerised gaze at young children, at young girls. Women are no longer queens of the screen, no longer standards of beauty, no longer a focus of admiration, fear and attraction.
And what did Sophia say when they asked her what was her beauty secret?
"Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti."
