Trend: Pretty Babies

“I’ve actually been joking that I’m going to write a book called Where Has All the Pubic Hair Gone?” Janice Hillman, a doctor in the Penn Health System at Radnor who specializes in adolescent medicine, tells me. “It’s such a rarity to find it these days in 10- and 12-year-old girls, and older girls. I need to check for it at that age — it’s an indicator of puberty and development, how much there is, where it’s growing. And now, I need to ask girls, if it’s not there, ‘Do you wax? Do you shave?’ Because so many of them do.”

A rarity? Really? Who are this doctor’s patients? I get the whole interviewing the ultra rich spa treatment peeps for this story, but a doctor in adolescent medicine saying it’s a rarity makes me wonder where the hell she’s working.

I guess pre-teen girls in Philly are very cosompolitan.
