Back in the day, bearded ladies used to travel with what they called a "freak show." Nowadays, of course, it would be totally rude to pay a dollar to point and stare at a woman with a beard. Because we can do it for FREE. The facial-haired lady known only as Mariam appeared on a British television to show off her beard. She apparently began growing facial hair after the birth of her son (OMG another kooky thing moms have to worry about?!), and at first she spent all her time plucking, waxing, and tweezing. But eventually she gave up the battle and decided to do something incredibly brave. She decided to love her beard.![]()
