What! No Merkin? How can we omit the victorian pubic wig?!

4:31 am

zoozzoom

OH Hahahaha! That is funny!

4:34 am

zoozzoom

It must be a brand name maybe.

4:37 am

granadan

I dont think they had anywhere to register a brand name back then. I had a friend with a miniature wire haired dachshund called Merkin. Made me laugh everytime I saw him.

4:40 am

zoozzoom

I wonder how they get the pubic hair? Do they advertise for it? Ha this is making me smile. Thank you, Granadan!

4:42 am

granadan

Im not sure whsat they were made of. Victorian prostitutes used to shave off their pubichair, then glue on merkins. I have NO idea why!

4:43 am

granadan

gull

4:43 am

granadan

sorry

4:45 am

granadan

So I had to look it up. T'interweb tells me that
"A pubic hair piece. A toupee for the pubic area/genitals. In the 1700â€™s when mercury was used to treat sexually transmitted diseases (Gonorrhea or Syphilis) one of the side effects was the loss of pubic hair. To disguise this condition, that was not cured by mercury, a Merkin was employed"

4:49 am

zoozzoom

wow who knew! I too was looking it up. It seems to be big buisness still for certain types of a doll shall we say that require a real look..ha! Also used in films too!.

5:13 am

zoozzoom

I take it ' Oversaid ' is not worthy of enable.

5:15 am

zoozzoom

oops sorry it is very close to another word that is accepted.

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Time for me to go and do other things for a while. Really nice to talk to you, Granadan! (if you are still here) Happy babbling everyone!

Greetings! I love days when the words jump out so eagerly for me! It almost makes up for the entire mug of lava hot coffee my son poured on the floor. Thankfully he wasnâ€™t burned, but ooooooooh was I mad. If my floor had been a little cleaner, I may have grabbed a straw to suck it up. Sadly, that kind of clean comes along very seldomly.

7:41 am

Wow, the grid even includes the type of language I used. Oh, Babble, always there for me.
