"The pubic hair had been among the more notorious items in Wynd’s collection for over a decade."

"According to a 2016 account of the museum, the hair was originally sent to Wynd by a woman who claimed to have shaved Brand at a Camden Town salon. The donation was accompanied by a handwritten letter explaining that she thought the collector would appreciate the unusual souvenir.... Opened in 2014... Wynd’s museum is modeled after the traditional Wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, and houses an eclectic assortment of macabre artifacts, natural history specimens and celebrity memorabilia."

From "Russell Brand’s Pubic Hair Removed From London Museum After Rape Conviction, Curator Says/‘I Have No Desire to Hear His Name Again'" (Variety).

It calls to mind this scene from one of my favorite movies, "Slacker":

Slacker is fine, but for an even better movie experience try Pecker. It was filmed in Baltimore so you know it will be vile.

That box-o-pubes would make an excellent souvenir/award for Hunter Biden.
