I'm late to this, and really, haven't even had time to see the episode, but I read about it, if that counts. 13 Ways of Looking at Sasha Grey's Grooming
I. She says she chose her porn name after Picture of Dorian Gray. Any woman who loves Wilde can wear her hair any damn way she pleases.
II. Benjamin Franklin had wise words about loving older women, topped off with the statement "All cats are gray after dark."
III. In another life under another name in the '90s, someone like me might have spent an interview with filmmaker Vincent Gallo discussing "'70s bush" as well as his conceptual art project, leaving a plaster cast of his not inconsiderable penis in every state in our great nation. He was ahead of his time.
IV. The hair on my head went gray at around age 20, almost 29 years ago.
V. Those who object to utterly bare under the argument that it makes them feel like a they're with someone illegal don't really have much of an argument. I mean, they're welcome to their tastes, but isn't there any other way to gauge the maturity of the person you're close to? Conversation always works for me.
VI. Having said that, one of the funniest lines in The Sopranos was spoken by a guy released from prison, who grumbled that all the women now "look like Girl Scouts."
VII. Those who vehemently object to hair under the argument that it disgusts them aren't even worth writing about. Especially those who do it via Twitter. Good god.
VIII. A friend was over the other night after breaking up with someone. She found him entirely too judgmental and snobbish. (I agreed.) She said: "He's so ready to find fault with everyone else, but HE really needs to get his BACK WAXED!"
IX. I would never say that. I like hairy guys. Who are clean.
X. When it comes to women, I refer to the highly apocryphal parable of Lancelot.
XI. Oct. 16 is Oscar Wilde's birthday. I think he would have liked Sasha Grey.
XII. She sure is pretty.
XIII. Distance runners are well served by a landing strip.

13 great points...my only problem w/ hair is that it collects so much moisture when distance running in summer. After 10 miles or so I feel as though narwhales could swim on me.
People in SE Asia are so hairless they couldn't resist stroking mine! On my arms, I mean.
I liked Sir Lancelot & The Essential but it seemed very ambivalent for a feminist parable. All the power remains in male hands - it takes a male's decision to determine the woman's physicality. As tho that physicality is only a pleasurable reward for the "wise" male. A concession to the realities of Lancelot's age...or are you going to have to set me straight?
