There’s a commercial on television now where a bunch of women show their bare bellies, some with diagrams written in marker. I’ve seen the ad a bunch of times, but still don’t really know what it’s advertising. Perhaps if I was a woman, I’d be more inclined to pay attention to the message. Let’s say it’s about the importance of calcium supplements.
I gotta say, though, that I find this ad kinda sexy, in a repressed puritanical mind kinda way. It’s just a bunch of women with their tops pulled up, showing their bellies. But the variety of waists is kinda enthralling.
What I find really interesting, though, is the very last woman. She’s got her top pulled up, and she’s wearing some low slung khaki beige cotton pants. Now, it may just be my imagination, but I swear that there is the faintest hint of pubes protruding from the top of those pants. So barely there that a quick glance would never see them. So barely there that only a diligent visual survey could discover them, and even then, be unsure of what was there.
If it is pubes, I can’t imagine it’s an accident. Is it a case of the advertiser, subtly, so subtly, pushing the envelope?

As it happened, that commercial came on tonight. For the sole purpose of discovering the truth, I paid very close attention. I can report that this appears to be wishful thinking on Rob's part. All I saw were tummies. Nary a wisp, not one strand, pas de trace of anything unseemly.
Dammit.
The old song by the comedy duo of "MacLean and Maclean" ( I think it was them, maybe I am incorrect..? ) comes to mind. "I've seen pubic hair man". A very funny take off on a Johnny Cash tune I believe. Ever hear it?
I've seen pubic hair, man
I've seen pubic hair, man
I even like 'em bare, man
I've seen pubic hair ...
Man .. MacLean and MacLean ... that takes me back to my university days in Winnipeg, watching the newspapers to see where they'd be playing this week so we could get there early and beat the enormous line-ups. And so many times, watching the police come up to them during or after a show to take them away for indecent performances.
Dunno why we never got arrested, too - I mean, they were leading, but we were all singing along ... "Oh, how I'd love to touch ol' Dolly Parton's tits ... Why, they're so big 'n soft 'n round, and they don't make a sound/ The way they look is way beyond compare/ I'd have one hand in my pockets as I fondled Dolly's rockets/ How I'd love to touch ol' Dolly Parton's tiiiiits."
Thankyew. Thankyewverymuch.
I once saw MacLean and MacLean in their own backyard. 'Smooth Herman's' in Sydney Nova Scotia circa 1983'ish. I think the album they were promoting at the time was " 'Takin' the O outta Country" Hilarious. I still laugh at some of the jokes and share them with some of my more tasteless friends to this day.
"Short ones, curly ones sticking outside the panty ones, I've seen pubic hair man" A classic.
Ah they don't make music like that any more...
Calico,, wondering where my youth went in a marijuana induced beer through the nostrils laugh fest....
Oh yeah,and the one they done to the country tune "Delta Dawn".
Delta Dawn, what's that mechanism you have on?
Could it be a porcelain penis from days gone by?
LOL.Great stuff.Seen them at an outdoor concert on the mainland years ago.
gee. great stuff there guys...
I know. I'm so proud. I can't remember the name of someone I met last week, but the lyrics to "Dolly Parton's Tits" still resonate.
