There are many things you can discuss with your family; finances, your homophobic uncle's latest outburst, and practically anything else about your wellbeing that blood relatives are obliged to care about. One thing, however, that should be left off the cards is your sex life. Unless you have the most liberal family out there, you don't want to be disclosing such intimate details to mum or dad. I mean, do you really think they'll be interested to hear what sexual fantasy has tickled your fancy of late?
Now, this should go without saying, but discussing how you like to style your nether-regions should also be kept from your nearest and dearest. Sure, have the whole Brazilian vs Hollywood debate with your friends, but steer clear of the NSFW stuff over Sunday lunch, please. But model and body positivity advocate, Ashley Graham, doesn't seem to share the same view. Graham, who is tipped to become the world's first plus-sized supermodel, had an entire text interchange with her family about her grooming habits. And almost everyone had something to say...
If you thought that you and your family were weirdly close, don't fret, because you haven't got anything on Ashley Graham's. The 30-year-old recently posted a screenshot of her family's group chat, in which they casually discussed her bush, or lack thereof.
Graham, who has appeared in Sports Illustrated several times now, has been teasing her followers with stills from her Swimsuit Edition photoshoot. She's been posting videos and photos to her Instagram - the majority of which show her in a requisite tiny bikini - and some where her entire pubic region is practically exposed. The latter came as a shock to the Graham family, and it wasn't because of the risqué nature of the shoot, but because the model's trademark bush was nowhere to be seen.
I say "trademark" because Graham has previously been very open about how she likes to style the hair on her nether-regions. In an interview with Glamour last year, the model proudly asserted, "Honey, I have a full bush. Period. It’s about your preference and your partner’s preference."
And perhaps that's why Graham's family had so much to say about this recent photoshoot. The Nebraska native posted a screenshot of her family's group text, wherein her husband and sister joke about her walkabout bush. Her mother even chimes in, but to espouse the benefits of going bare, writing "I have no bush and it's divine. Be jealous."
The caption reads, "Gotta love family group text."
Now, while I wouldn't be overwhelmed with joy if my family started discussing how I choose to style my pubic hair, I think we can all agree that Ashley Graham has one cool family. I mean, there's something quite nice about being able to bare it all, don't you think?
