Perhaps it's a proverbial middle finger to conventional beauty standards, or perhaps they just ran out of razors? Whatever their reason, these ladies look good no matter the length of their pit hair. In fact, they may be offering some inspiration for any other ladies who are wondering if they should leave their pits as nature intended.
