Bearded woman says facial hair makes her feel sexy
German-born Mariam says she feels more confident now that she's stopped trying to hide her facial hair. After failed electrolysis attempts and years of tweezing, the 49-year-old mom embraced the growing goatee and joined the circus.
A German woman who struggled with facial hair for nearly two decades said she finally feels sexy, now that she’s ditched the clippers and let her beard grow.
“I feel more confident and I know myself better now than when I was younger,” the 49-year-old mom, identified only as Mariam, told the British talk show, “This Morning.”
Mariam explained to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield she began growing facial hair 28 years ago, after the birth of her son.
Extra hormones produced during pregnancy can trigger hair growth.
She tried electrolysis three times, but the hair always grew back.
After years of using tweezers to disguise the growing goatee, Mariam gave up in August 2008.
“It was more curiosity, like what will happen with me if I let it grow,” she said. “Like how it will make me feel.”
Now Mariam only trims her beard for maintenance. She’s the “Bearded Lady” in a traveling circus and writes about her experiences on a blog.
Despite some nasty comments and criticism — even Mariam’s own mother questioned her decision to keep the beard— she discovered a newfound confidence.
After being single for a decade, she’s also looking for love.
“I think I’m more ready to have a relationship,” Mariam said.

Scientist Claims to Invent 'Time Machine' To See Into The Future With 98% Accuracy

Scientist claims to invent 'time machine' to see into the future with 98 per cent accuracy
• He says his device can detail any individual’s life between five and eight years in advance after taking readings from the user's touch
An Iranian scientist claims he has invented a time machine that allows you to predict the future with 98 per cent accuracy.
Ali Razeghi says his device can produce a print-out detailing any individual’s life between five and eight years in advance after taking readings from the user's touch.
He claims the Iranian government, whose nuclear programme has caused concern around the world, can use his invention to predict military conflicts and forecast the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies and oil.
He says the device is the size of a laptop and uses a complex set of algorithms which took him ten years to develop, but has not revealed any concrete details about his invention.
Unlike the time-travelling DeLorean in hit film Back To The Future, Mr Razeghi said his device ‘will not take you into the future, it will bring the future to you.’
He said: “My invention easily fits into the size of a personal computer case and can predict details of the next five to eight years of the life of its users.
“Naturally a government that can see five years into the future would be able to prepare itself for challenges that might destabilise it.
“As such, we expect to market this invention among states as well as individuals once we reach a mass production stage.”
Iran has been ridiculed in recent months after attempting to showcase its technological advances only to face accusations they were faked.
In February, it proudly unveiled a stealth fighter jet at a ceremony attended by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but experts quickly expressed serious doubts about whether it could even fly.
A picture of the domestically produced Qaher-313 apparently soaring over Iranian mountains did little to curb scepticism amid claims the plane never actually left the ground, but was simply doctored using Photoshop.
Critics also believe Iran’s claims that it launched a monkey into space could have been faked.
Scientists in Tehran hailed the mission to send a simian 75 miles above Earth and back in a Kavoshgar rocket as a success.
But question marks were raised after the monkey presented to the nation as the heroic astronaut looked remarkably different than the one which made lift off.
