Opening Up the Pubis Dialogues: Become a Real Foufounista or a Fan of Vagazzling {Beauty & Society}
It seems that a new frontier of public feminine beauty talk has been discovered: the pubis. While reading a report yesterday on actress Jennifer Love Hewitt who was encouraged by George Lopez to broadcast on TV her favorite pubic routine - the Swarovski pavé of crystals - and thinking something like, bah, a quirk, I've had to reconsider my take on this after opening my Elle France this morning. There is a whole article on pubic hair but what is more unusual is that the advice is illustrated by a series of pictures of models unveiling their vajayjays as Hewitt likes to say. Okay, so you have the variations, the "triangle", the "flaming bush", you know, it's like clouds in the sky almost, you can let your imagination run a bit. Men give their opinions...
I cannot show you these images on the blog because my US readership would be probably thinking "These French are bad" and I'm not sure these pubises are there for a good reason. They could have been drawn for all practical purposes. One cannot help but feel that there is a soft porn appeal to these images and that magazines are now turning towards nudity more to sell their wares. Actresses have been asked to bare their breasts for Paris-Match for instance. It's all very transgressive in a slightly salacious way.
Going back to Love Hewitt, she calls her fancy pubic routine "vagazzling" and she explains it in the video below as a preview of her advice book on dating entitled The Day I Shot Cupid: Hello, My Name is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I'm a Love-aholic. It's due out on March 23rd, 2010. She said, as transcribed by the Huffington Post,
"After a breakup, a friend of mine Swarovski-crystalled my precious lady," she said. "It shined like a disco ball so I have a whole chapter in there on how women should vagazzle their vajayjays."
