Meeting Clementine Cannibal for this week’s feature was fun. We chatted, chilled, enjoyed the sun, and shared ideas.
I had seen her read some powerful pieces on YOUTUBE and I wanted her to read something new and just as powerful.
Not only does this piece have a powerful and cool name, The Girl With The Red Hair Really Needs To Shave Her Fucking Armpits, it has content that is important: homophobia, bullying, teen suicide, violence against women.
See my review of Cannibals zine Licking Stars Off Ceilings #23 and my interview with her.
Enjoy The Girl With The Red Hair Really Needs To Shave Her Fucking Armpits.

Always wondered why in NA women are so concerned about shaved armpits – after seeing this it figures – otherwise they get their heads kicked in by, well, men. The idea that men brutally force women to comply to their standard of beauty is sickening.
Clementine, I really admire your will and morals, there are not many people in society who would go against the beauty norm like you, no matter how it made them feel. I respect your choice and am glad that it makes you happy. It’s sad that people are so quick to judge others based upon their appearances, and take it so personally. We live in this world together, and share things in common, but we are all different. Everyone deserves the same amount of rights and respect as the rest. Power to you!!
