Ingrown Pubes, Yeast Infections: Reality TV Contestant Keeps It Really Real

This clip is kinda old, as it's from the 2005 season of Big Brother Australia. But after an Australian reader pointed it out to us, we couldn't resist posting it. It features the contestants hanging out in their bedroom, where Vesna, one of the women in the house, discovers she has an ingrown pubic hair and wants help digging it out. She also mentions that she believes she has thrush (a yeast infection) and asks everyone if they can smell it. Her male roommate is totally disgusted, and says so, repeatedly referring to her vagina as her "buhgah" (Australian for "burger"). But Vesna doesn't care, and her in-your-face-ness about the whole thing is kinda awesome.

Hairy Issues Wait, so there isn't just an endless supply of glossy, ethically-sourced human hair waiting to be made into extensions for Jessica Simpson? Um, no. Although celebs and those they inspire may not choose to think too hard about where their borrowed locks spring from, according to a new BBC documentary, Whose Hair Is It Anyway?, the growing demand for human hair extensions has led to ethically dubious hair-culling, with sources ranging from Russian prisoners to corpses (although hair dealers deny both.) Just as well that the recent extension-related bald patches and errant red-carpet strands are raising the celeb consciousness quotient. [Times of London]

Cool As Kim Deal

I May Be Too Old To Rock, But Thankfully, The Breeders Are Not

People — writers, fans, music executives — don't really know what to do with an aging female musician. I'm not talking about someone like Celine Dion or Cher, whose popularity was never based on some amorphous idea of coolness or relevance. I'm not even talking about our beloved Liz Phair, who still plasters short, tight dresses on her meticulously muscled frame and projects an image of socially desirable sexuality. I'm talking about Patti Smith, who was interviewed by Deborah Solomon in this weekend's New York Times Magazine and asked more than one question about her use of conditioner and reigning status as "the queen of split ends." And even more so, I'm talking about Kim Deal, the lead singer of the Breeders and former Pixies bassist who headlined a big summer concert yesterday in Brooklyn to support the Breeders' April release, Mountain Battles.

Paying Someone To Cut You Is Growing In Popularity

The economy may be in the crapper, but Americans know what's really important: Looking good! Science Daily reports that plastic surgery procedures will quadruple by the year 2015. They're predicting that cosmetic surgery will weather the current decline, and that in 7 years, 55 million surgeries will be performed annually. "While today's economy reflects a slow-down in plastic surgery procedures, the specialty will weather the current decline in economic growth just as it has previous declines, such as the stock market correction after the 2001 Internet bubble," says American Society Of Plastic Surgeons prez Dr. Richard D'Amico. "This prediction for 2015 is exciting." Definitely! Americans already spend $13.2 billion, more than the GDP of Bolivia, on cosmetic surgery, so quadrupling that number to $52.8 means more cash for doctors. Eh, you're thinking, I'm not shallow like that, I've got priorities. Guess what? More »

Can Changing Your Hair Change Your Life?

Writer Liz Jones has a story in the Daily Mail in which she recounts her emotions surrounding the chopping-off of her waist-length hair. Jones calls her hair a "split-ended curtain behind which I could hide." She says "It was just a long, heavy, hairy version of a burka, out of which two big dark eyes would peep, nervously, at the world." At best, Jones was known as :"the girl with the long hair." At worst, she was called "the witch." Her husband hated her hair, telling her it felt like a horse's mane and made her look like "an old hag." She grew it longer just to spite him — and then she (thankfully!) divorced him. Then? Because she was "holding on" to her youth while "hurtling towards the age of 50," she got her hair cut. More »

Don Juan Word on the street is that Regency-era heartthrob Lord Byron would fob off his legions of swooning admirers with tufts of his dog's hair. While the rumor's been in circulation since the poet's death in 1824, it would explain the high number of extant locks purportedly belonging to the poet, whose mane was always suspiciously full.

Celebrate The 40th Summer Of Love With Vogue, Mario Testino, The Cast Of Hair And…Preeminent 80s Nostalgist Agyness Deyn!

Hey guys! It's Friday. I'm jet-lagged. I smoked pot last night. I took no speed today. That last part was pure self-sabotage. Anyhow, this combination of conditions led me somehow to a photo spread in the new Vogue, which mysteriously appeared in my bag this morning along with a half-consumed Snapple and what looked like a garlic knot. It's Agyness Deyn and the new cast of Hair, because really, has there ever been a more inspired pairing of model to social and cultural context? My thoughts: 1. Some decades are better than others and the sixties > the eighties, which sort of casts a negative light on Agyness's whole, like, "identity," not that she needs help because 2. Agyness Deyn has no discernible facial expressions. Technically I think she's actually a better singer than model, not that I know shit, and 3. As much as I am not one for tassels or beaded fringe or flowers or really, accessories of any sort, it is exceptionally annoying that the one in the $1800 Burberry shiftdress is allegedly the "minimalist." Some highlights from the shoot, after the jump. More »

Bald Dudes And You: 6 Male Patterns To Discuss

Sunday's Page Six Magazine offers up a first-person Balding Dudes and the Bonerkilling Drugs They Take To Stop Balding So They Can Get More Women To Embark Upon Unsatisfying Sex Romps With Them. Of course, by "investigate" I mean "not really," since it's Page Six Magazine and the story is basically that the author, Jeff Novich, starts balding, then spends five grand on Propecia, but gets neurotic when he hears that Propecia is supposed to lower your sex drive, I guess because baldness is linked to an overabundance of testosterone in your hair follicles, so in addition to Propecia, a lot of guys use Viagra and just learn to deal with sex lasting longer. Jeff even uses it as a pickup line (i.e. "I've never experienced any impotence problems, but don't take my word for it.") (Yeah, it didn't work.) Anyway, there are a few obvious discussion topics here, starting with "What is it about bald dudes?" moving all the way down to… "Doesn't Jeff know that getting Propecia covered is one of the easiest forms of insurance fraud known to modern emasculated man?

How Do You Care For the Hair Down There?

With summer already here, some of us are heading for a change in pubic hair maintenance procedures, bringing on yet another existential crisis — do we do it for men, for ourselves or, like so much other fashion, for other women? I survey the other Jezebel editors, my (straight) guy friends unlucky enough to be logged on when it occurred to me to ask and put in a plug for an ex with a preference and a steady hand after the jump.

Every Time You Eat A Doughnut, An Orangutan Dies

The adorable apes you see at left may be homeless because of your junk food habit or your hair conditioner. The problem? Palm oil. As Glenn Hurowitz explains in the Los Angeles Times, palm oil "comes from the disappearing, ultra-carbon-rich rain forests of Indonesia and Malaysia, of which a whopping 25,000 square miles have been cleared and burned to make way for palm oil plantations. The burning releases enough carbon dioxide into the air to rank Indonesia as the No. 3 such polluter in the world. It also destroys the last remaining habitat for orangutans." We've previously posted about palm oil in Oreos (dammit!) and Girl Scout cookies (crap!), but, Hurowitz reports, it can also be found in many other foods: Entenmann's chocolate-covered doughnuts, Chewy Chips Ahoy!, Orville Redenbacher's popcorn, Hershey's Kisses "Hugs," and Twix. Oh, well, that stuff isn't healthy anyway, right? More »

Paris Hilton's Doggie Polos Mean The Terrorists Have Won

David Letterman is a bona fie hero to me now: Last night he had Paris Hilton on the program, who he (sincerely? mockingly?) referred to as an "entrepreneur." (Check out the way Paris reflexively put her hand on her hip as she walked out onto the stage.) Then he took us through a heartfelt tour of some of the products she's currently shilling, from her canned Prosecco ("Champagne in a can is sexy") to her line of hair extensions ("Are these made with human hair?") to her line of designer doggie-wear. Clip — complete with accompanying 'Bolero' soundtrack — above.
