What has the Fashion lingerie industry come too :)

This may offer a few smiles after the chaos earlier today !


US clothing chain American Apparel has sparked controversy by putting mannequins sprouting pubic hair in the windows of their shop in New York's boho Lower East Side.
Passersby stopped to gawk, take photographs, chuckle or raise a horrified eyebrow at the stick-thin plastic models decked out in see-through bras and panties, with bushy bikini lines.
Many people consider women's body hair a private embarrassment requiring painful grooming at beauty salons, and find the display shocking and provocative.
But American Apparel, which in the past has been accused of sexist and controversial marketing campaigns, said it was celebrating "natural beauty" in the run-up to the Valentine's Day rush.
"We invite passers-by to explore the idea of what is 'sexy,' consider their comfort with the natural female form -- and perhaps most importantly -- to come in and try on some of our favorite styles of the season," said creative director Iris Alonzo.
Layla Khabiri, who works in a wine bar and lives round the corner, called it a "cheap ploy" designed to drive up sales, but found it interesting for being a "little counter-culture."
"As someone who has some hair, it's nice. It's not earth shattering," she said.
