F *** off, I'm a Hairy Woman (German: "Schleich you, I am a-haired woman" ) was a documentation of the BBC over the image and stereotypes of female body hair from 2007, was the presenter comedian Shazia Mirza . The show was part of a series: F *** Off, I'm Fat and F *** Off, I'm Ginger (German: "..., I am fat" or "..., I have red hair" ).
Mirza, who claims to be obsessed with depilating her body, let all of her body hair grow over the course of six months for the show. In preparation for production, she interviewed passers-by in the UK city with the highest density of hair and beauty salons, Hove . All the themed questions of the comedic show were based on the alleged maxim that female beauty in the 21st century inevitably goes hand in hand with depilated bodies.
After Mirza reflected on society's intolerance to lifestyles beyond the mainstream over the course of the production period , her experiment culminated in a fashion show with hairy models in underwear made from body hair, which was made by the artist Tracey Moberly .
