Designer Merkins For Either Royalty or For the Naked People at Burning Man

Posted in Bizarre, Hairy, WTF?, Naked People on October 26, 2007

Those crazy naked hipster hippie people at Burning Man invented a new accoutrement for their naked - ness. A merkin flashlight. What for? To help your naked ass navigate the “playa”? Perhaps. They say that it’s “The perfect marriage of form and function - our Merkin Flashlight helps leave something to the imagination as well as providing hands free illumination.” From the naked girls at Burning Man that I’ve seen pics of, they usually have a full hairy bush so this invention would probably be redundant.

Moving on to the other end of the spectrum from the freedom loving hippie hipster hooligans, “Vonk” is a company in Holland that produces high-end designer merkins. Despite it’s somewhat grotesque origin (intended to cover up venereal scabs or a shaved crotch that was shaved in order to get rid of lice, etc), the Merkin, the pubic hair toupee is making a comeback. I suppose if you’re into both shaved pussy and hairy pussy equally the way I am, it could be an interesting accoutrement, but they’re not realistic looking. Article is here, but their website is very much under construction so I wouldn’t bother with it for a few weeks or so. The Cleopatra, featured below, retails for just under 400 Euros, so it’s quite an investment to cover up your non-existent bush with a piece of fur and bangles.
