Kate Winslet says she was asked to wear a merkin (pubic hair wig) in her latest film “The Reader”.
She told Allure,
“Let me tell you, The Reader was not glamorous for me in terms of body hair maintenance. I had to grow it in, because you can’t have a landing strip in 1950, you know? And then because of years of waxing, it doesn’t come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough. I said, ‘Guys, I am going to have to draw the line at a pubic wig. But you can shoot my own snatch up close and personal.’”
Sorry, I reported this wrong the first time, saying she DID wear a merkin, but alas, I only had a partial quote and it was misleading. Here is the FULL quote from Allure, and yes, the pubic hair was her own! Such handy information to have, eh?

I love you Kate & your smooth hardwood floor!!! = P
Meh! She’d strip for a burger.. no brains at all.
It’s finally nice to see an actress or other famous females be proud of their 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.
