“I had to grow the hair down there. But because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn’t come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin—a wig—because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough.”
—Kate Winslet to Allure, on the importance of authentic pubic hair for her role in “The Reader” [via AHN]

I never knew what a merkin was until I started following the band Tool. Lead singer Maynard operates a vineyard in Arizona called Merkin Vineyards under the pseudonym “Harry Merkin” LOL

It’s finally nice to see an actress or other famous female be proud of her bare pubes. Like Kate and America Olivo. Most women are not that secure in their sexuality to even discuss such things. As you can see from Playboy the last few years, going hairless is quite mainstream these days. In the early 80s most women thought it was weird, some didn’t. It’s very sensuous and erotic. You go girls.
