"Where to keep your pubic hair."

"Cameron Diaz Encourages Women to Keep Their Pubic Hair in Her New Book."

Kinda like pressed flowers... or very unobtrusive bookmarks.

Stephen Taylor said...: Excellent news. Perhaps this trend of shaving the pubes will end. It's been dispiriting as a middle-aged male to watch pubic hair disappear on women; the first women I ever knew in the biblical sense all had pubic hair, and I grew to like it. I want it back.

Thanks, Cameron.; 2/15/14, 11:16 AM

In My Time I Have Brushed Against the Pubic Hair of Many Rich and Famous Men, Some Scratchier than Others. I Have Also Had My Stray Hairs Caught Between Teeth on Occasion. It is My Role in Life.; 2/15/14, 11:34 AM
jr565 said...: Maybe not the most efficent means of keeping your pubic hair. In a book?
And why are you keeping your pubic hair anyway? That should be going into the garbage.; 2/15/14, 11:34 AM

Titus said...: I think I told this story before but I did a guy once and went into his bathroom and looked in his medicine cabinet like I always do.

He had a jar of different colored kinky pubes....I abruptly left.

My friend pulls his pubes out and uses them as dental floss....I lied-I do that.; 2/15/14, 11:57 AM
Paul said...: Look,

I don't care if women shave they ying-yang or not. Or put the hair in a book or not.

I think it's all silly and a sign of immaturity and lack of self confidence the way they go on about it.; 2/15/14, 12:21 PM

Bruce Hayden said...: When Volokh brought this up yesterday or so, I thought that it was an interesting grammar mistake - the wrong placement of a prepositional phrase, so that it modifies "public hairs" and not "women", as it should have.

My memory of maybe 6 or so years of Latin is that by the time you got to Virgil, you spent a lot of your time dealing with just this problem - trying to figure out which words went with which phrase, and which words those phrases modified.

Still, quite humorous.; 2/15/14, 1:06 PM

traditionalguy said...: I recommend mixing your pubic hairs with your ear wax . Smell is the best trigger for memories...if you want to remember that stuff. The mixture can become like an Egyptian mummy of you that keeps you present forever.

The Godfather said...: I remember when I was a kid and first heard the word I thought it was "public" hair, which was funny because it was very much NOT public.

Now, it is.; 2/15/14, 4:07 PM
fivewheels said...: I believe the classic case of this grammatical mistake was an ad that proclaimed, "Smith has more than 20 years of experience styling hair under his belt."; 2/15/14, 4:15 PM
YoungHegelian said...: @fivewheels,

Smith has more than 20 years of experience styling hair under his belt.

Poor Smith would be quickly out of business nowadays!; 2/15/14, 4:51 PM

kentuckyliz said...: Keep the trimmings. Card them. Spin them. Knit a sweater. Mine would be a lovely bright coppery red sweater. Yes, I'm bragging.

Joe said...: Does she also advise them to not shave their underarms or legs? And if you're on a hirsute kick, perhaps she should stop wearing makeup, plucking her eyebrows and cutting the hair atop her head.; 2/15/14, 6:55 PM
cubanbob said...: She should send them to engineering text book publishers. The students need to be made aware of old but stll useful units of measurement like the cunt hair.; 2/15/14, 8:33 PM
The Godfather said...: @cubanbob, are you thinking of the RCH *, a measure of a very small difference? I learned that from an engineer many years ago.
