Thanks to ecorazzi for alerting us to this pretty slick website claiming to offer autographed, mounted pubes from A, B, and C list celebrities to order with the proceeds to benefit charity. They claim to be an “international PR agency” but don’t provide a name. It looks like they’re trying to get buyers before they have sellers since there are no celebrities mentioned, but the site is well designed and well written, which convinces easily-influenced celebrity-focused designers like me. They have a countdown clock claiming they’re going to reveal celebrity donors in just nine days. (Is Minnie Driver one of them? I hear she lives in a trailer park and from the looks of her bikini line she’s shed some hair down there recently.)
Ecorazzi says it’s either a joke or an actual charity campaign. I’m thinking it’s a bit of both:
OK, you see what I mean? It looks reasonably legit. Then again, it could also be an elaborate joke of either a.) a very experienced and bored graphic/web designer or b.) a celebrity with a little too much time and money on their hands. I mean, seriously, there has been so much celebrity charity stories lately, that someone might be taking the mickey out on us. (and yes, British slang is appropriate here.) Anyways, 200 Euros will get you ULTRA CELEBRITY STAR PUBES (think David Beckham), 70 Euros will get you B-List Celeb Pubes (think Mario Lopez or Lindsay Lohan), and 60 Euros will land you with some C-List Love (think Screech from Saved By The Bell or Paris Hilton).As the site promotes, “All profits go into selected charity organisations and become an important part of making the world a better place. In short: We turn Hair into Care. It sounds dumb, but it is smart.”
This reminds me of that scene in Richard Linklater’s Slacker in which a chick went around claiming to have a Madonna pap smear with a real pubic hair. My perpetually-stoned college friends convinced me to watch it and I was not dissapointed.
I’ll be watching that site to see which celebrities are donating their pubes. Most of them won’t have many to go around, if the crotch shots I’ve seen are any indication.
The thing is – if you’ve got a celebs pubes, you’ve got their dna!!
Just imagine the STD factor. ICK!
So what do you do with celebrity pubic hair? Frame it with a seal of authenticity to hang on your wall?
I find it hard to believe that an international PR firm would have that many typos on their website:
“it made riding a tricycle through the grand canyon seem like >Childs< play." "any >resemblens< with your personal idol is purely by coincidence" "don´t flatter yourself. >Where< not talking about you. Duh." "please contact us using the link at the bottom of the page" (there is no link at the bottom of that page.
Thats sick but there are people that would pay for that.
Maybe it’s a “Borat” type of a website to garner publicity. It’s a vehicle to promote the fact that we are so celebrity driven that some folks, would be driven to buy celebrity pubes or even go to the extreme of collecting them. I know if I were to get pubic hair from George Clooney…I maybe tempted to frame them. LOL!
This is sick, period.
Do you think they’ll thow in crabs if Paris Hilton is a donor?
