genderqueer: seaponies: fuckyeahbeardedladies: Meet Jennifer Miller, 34, a real life woman with a beard and it isn’t glued on. Ms. Miller is a circus artist, performance artist, juggler and clown, and the founder and director of Circus Amok. “The world is full of women with beards,” she says. “Or at least they have the potential to have a beard … instead of spending the time, and the money, on the waxing, and the shaving, and the electrolysis and the plucking. We all know someone who plucks. Pluck, pluck, pluck, as if these women were chickens!” she cries. “Hair is a symbol of power,” Ms. Miller says. “You’ve got Hair Club for Men: they all want it! It goes all the way back to Samson and his big mane of power. That’s why men don’t want women to have too much of it in too many places. So, here I am, a gal with a beard, prancing around the streets of New York.” “You think I’m gettin’ hassled?” she asks. “I get more than my fair share. I have to talk to people. I ignore. I cajole. I argue. I educate. I run or I ” Suddenly, she grins, and holds up three gleaming machetes. “Forget the talking-“ starting to juggle the machetes, “-forget the cajoling! All I want is a nice, cold machete!”
