Hi!

That's an unusual question and we did a bit of research that's why it tool a little to reply :)

First of all, we don't like to refer to the women as "groupies" as we like to define them not by their relationship to the men (wife, daughter, groupie...) but their own (actress, artist, author, designer, model, musician, photographer...).

Secondly, sometimes it is difficult to know as they have to wear sleeveless clothes or their arms have to be up, or both, but we'll try our best! And sometimes they may wax their armpits, sometimes they may not! They can change their opinion according to fashion, mood, etc.

Last but not least, we're going to feature our favourite muses, not all the girls that were around the scene cause that would be more difficult and take ages. But with that said, anyone can reblog this post and share their favourite women (or people) :)

Anyway, here's a collage of Demri's unwaxed armpits:

Teresita Montez, a very famous and glamorous model of the 50s didn't wax her armpits,

and her niece, actress and model Tina Aumont neither did (photos from the 60s, 70s and 80s).

We also found that May Pang didn't wax her armpits either (at least in 1974!)

But the Queen of Technicolor, María Montez, sometimes waxed her armpits and sometimes didn't!!

Its looks that Alice Omrsby Gore, the very hippy teenage fiancée of Eric Clapton did wax her armpits!

So did wild-child Bebe Buell:

And alternative traveller and author (and PhD doctor) Cleo Odzer:

Iggy Rose also waxed them:

Apparently so did Jane Asher:

Jenny Boyd...

also Jo Jo Laine shaved her armpits...

And June Child too:

Hair Star Marsha Hunt also shaved her armpits but if you look closely to the 1st photo of the 2nd row, you can see a little shadow of hair there.

We suppose that in the Western society is more common for women to wax their bodies, including their armpits. Teen models Lori Mattix and Sabel Starr maybe did wax them or were too young for having hair:

Although the photo is blurry, we think hippie Pam Courson also waxed her armpits,

Pattie Boyd too,

Beautiful Shannen Doherty (RIP) also waxed them...

And hippy traveller Uschi Obermaier also waxed her armpits:

So here you have some of the famous girls and their armpits!!

We know as well that the great Sophia Loren didn't wax her armpits and we think that's ok, to wax or not to wax, this shouldn't be a question, people wax if they want and it they don't want that's ok, it shouldn't be a question about hygiene or beauty, as it's only hair and you do whatever you want with it as long as it is ok with you.

And reading about Groupies I found out about this woman; Cleo Odzer

So she met and slept with some musicians on the sixties, wrote about the music scene of that time and recorded interviews.

She worked on the seventies as a model, made lots of drugs, followed the teachings of a mistic in India and somehow this feels to me like something seems very unusual and at the the same very famliar when you hear tales of people in this scene right on this decades.

At her returning to the USA she entered drug treatment... and after she decided to enter College, got a PHD in Anthropology by 1990. This is the part that interests me the most to be honest. (she also worked on the same place she did her treatment to help others by the way)

She went to to Tailand to study prostitution and that was the topic her PHD was from. I am now  curious to read the book that came out of this research, she also wrote another one later on the decade about cibersex... on 1997... which was way before a huge number of us people did have access to the internet for the first time (I got just a little bit later)

1969 Cleo

Cleo pictured with her friend Diane ready to move to California. They shared a flat and while living there, Cleo's friend Cookie came to visit them, Cleo and Cookie were friends from New York. While living in California they went every night at the Whisky A-Go-Go.

Here Cleo and Diane (left) are pictured with Cookie (right) and Miss Christine from the GTO's (centre).

Here we can see Cleo pictured with a cat, it wasn't her cat, it was the bulding's cat that came to visit them often.
