Xander ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Have there been any TV shows or films taking place during that era in which the women don't have shaved legs?
The scene in Dances with Wolves when Mary McDonnell's character is trying to commit suicide, I recall her underarms being unshaven when they pull her away from Kevin Costner. Which I thought was a nice touch.
I know Persians practiced extensive hair removal as did the ancient Egyptians but I can't say how much the practice filtered into Western Europe.
I think it is not just the shaved legs on The Tudor's for me, but how perfectly shaved and shiny (and probably waxed) the legs are and also the lack of layers of undergarments in a drafty castle in England, especially in wintertime.
not to mention upperclass women traipsing around with their hair uncovered like common street children. Seriously, why keep the decorative front part of hoods and ignore the functional part? Or Henry VIII not having red hair. Or melding both of his sisters into a conglomerate... Pretty show, but far from historically accurate.

Oh, definitely. But for some reason it is the little things that throw me out of my temporary suspension of disbelief.
