What Would Fleshbot Readers Do? Retronyms Edition

Gram Ponante — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:30:01 EST

What do Hairy Pussies and Coca Cola Classic have in common? They're both retronyms: names created when the original word was no longer descriptive enough. Forgive me, Dr. Lederer.

There was a time when all pussies were hairy. Who would think of shaving them? And once upon a time Coca Cola was just that, until the famous Formula changed, the public bawked, and the original version had to be brought back and renamed Coca Cola Classic.

But now that even your mom shaves her parts, we need titles like "Hairy Pussy P.O.V." to let us know that we are about to witness some kind of freakshow.

Fleshbot readers, be like unto last week's happy few and tell us what this movie might have been called had it been released in 1984.

The Bush Is Back: Revenge Of The Pubic Hair

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:00:00 EST

It had to happen eventually. After years of being banished to the back corner, pubic hair is making a comeback (we know it's true—Salon says so!). And not just the racing stripe, either.

No ladies (and gentlemens), the new pubic stylings we're all about to become accustomed to is like nothing we've ever seen before. Not a big, untamed bush; not an itty bitty racing stripe; but something inbetween—a, uh, "dorito" of pubic hair, if you will:

"Absolutely," agrees April Barton, stylist extraordinaire and owner of Suite 303, the salon in New York's notorious Chelsea Hotel. "The new rule of thumb is: When you lift your leg, there shouldn't be any hair below the crease. Keep it clean in the back. And in the front, trim the hair right before its natural curl." She likens the look to a more trimmed, 21st-century version of '70s pubes: the tailored bush.

It sounds so familiar... we're sure we've seen that look somewhere recently. In fact—hey, wasn't that what Sasha Grey was rocking in "Stoya Sexy Hot"?

We always knew she was a groundbreaker.

Bottomless Girls Are Your New Favorite Thing

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:15:00 EDT

Perhaps we were a little too quick to label Fleshbot commenter sirgatsby's request for bottomless girls a "special request": it seems that bottomless girls are already the basis for a budding interweb community, or at least for one very infrequently updated website. And why not? Topless girls have had their time in the sun for, like, ever, and it's high time we started paying more attention to all the thrills of their sadly neglected naked lower halves. Someone alert the lad mags— a change is definitely in order! (Although they might have some trouble getting this one by the censors ... )
