It's Real and It's Spectacular
In this day and age of artificial this and surgically enhanced that, every once in a while it’s nice to givesome attention to something real, something unaltered, something that simplyis. And nothing says real and unaltered like Gaby Hoffmann's bush.
Whether you watchGirlsorTransparentor just hang out here on Mr. Skin, odds are you have glanced once or twice at Gaby Hoffmann’s bush. And she wants you to know, she’s totally cool with her bush being wild and untamed. She doesn’t use a bush stand-in or merkin (other than during one season of Transparent), if you are seeing Gaby Hoffmann’s bush, you are seeing the real deal. As she told Salon:
“I was very pregnant and my belly was in the way of my bush,” said Hoffmann. “I was mad. I didn’t want a bush stand-in! And I was like, Just shoot it with me! And there was a stand-in, and of course, she didn’t have a bush. So she had a wig . . .”
“Nudity, to me, doesn’t feel strange or hard,” explained Hoffmann, who grew up “very naked and comfortable,”
Gaby Hoffmann’s upbringing was one that was very open and kind of “hippie” one could say. I get that a big ol’ hairy bush might not be your thing, but you have to admire someone who is so comfortable in their skin… or in their hair, I should say. So, the next time you happen to see Gaby Hoffmann’s bush, take a moment and remember there’s nothing fake about it.
