Amuse-bush? Kim Kardashian is putting pubes on Skims

26 Jan

Kim Kardashian has jumped on the full bush agenda. Today (October 14), her brand Skims launched a range of underwear in a series of nude skin colours with elastic side straps and various types of hair attached to it. Hand-made in a super sheer, stretch mesh, the string thongs feature a mix of curly and straight faux hair in 12 different shade variations. Basically, it’s a merkin – and perfect for anyone who regrets their laser or wants to have a campy play around with some fake bushes.
