Is the Brazilian here to stay? UK style guru Gok Wan says even women as old as 70 on his TV program 'How to Look Good Naked' remove all or most of their pubic hair. Or will we see the return of the bush?

    I hope we do see the return of the bush. I love pubic hair.

    I understand that removing pubic hair makes things easier, and some people like the aesthetic. But, to me, pubic hair is so sexual. It's emblematic of sex. It retains the body's scent which, to me, is extremely erotic. Bald pussies have always looked sterile to me, de-sexed. I associate bare pussies with marble statues and anatomically neutered Barbie dolls.

    One of my favorite photos is Richard Avedon's portrait of Cat Power. Her jeans are slung low, partially unbuttoned, and there's just a peek of her pubic hair. That, to me, is supremely sexy.

    From the photos I see come in to FGT, of nudes and partial nudes, I'm noticing a mix. Some are stripped bare, but I feel like I'm seeing more and more pubic hair. One photographer shot a model with an enormous bush, and I loved that. It was refreshing and exciting and seriously hot. So maybe we're due for a backlash. If it comes, I certainly welcome it.
