Has anyone here ever worked with a Merkin? Jul 21 12 05:05 pm Link I only work with 'merkins. Don't have nothin to do with foreigners. Jul 21 12 05:11 pm Link I've never seen one in use.....some actors will use one evidently to avoid full frontal Jul 21 12 05:17 pm Link I was going to design a line as a fashion accessory. I was thinking astro turf. Jul 21 12 05:20 pm Link fallingwater wrote: Huh, interesting.

I was hoping for an alternative to give models a more natural look. However, I did not find them useful for photography.

At the end of their kick line performance one of the merkins fell off and the gal was standing center stage in all of her glory with her vertical smile and smiling at all of us... Bravo!!! I would like to work with that performer.. So my answer is not yet. Jul 22 12 07:54 am Link Ken Marcus Studios wrote: Thanks Ken. I'm no longer a dummy on the subject Jul 22 12 08:27 am Link Can't get past how creepy the word sounds. Sounds like a pickle. Not sexy at all. Jul 22 12 08:35 am Link Sorry, all I got is hmmmm....

We were trying for a '40s period pinup look. Jul 22 12 01:27 pm Link Lady Pelvic wrote: tuckin' the gerkin.. Jul 22 12 01:35 pm Link I'd rather request the model grow it out naturally in advance of the shoot, assuming you've pre-planned the shoot, and you've had pre-shoot discussions with the model far enough in advance. The merkin just looks too fake Jul 22 12 01:36 pm Link Nikki Magnusson wrote:

P O W E L L photography wrote: It would take MONTHS to grow it to full bush status. Possibly the model wouldn't be getting the type of work she normally does because she's growing her hair out for ONE shoot. Jul 24 12 08:53 am Link Merkins were a red hot fashion accessory about 300 years ago (I remember, I was there, lol) Jul 26 12 05:36 am Link Do you think Mother Nature wears an astroturf merkin? Jul 26 12 06:42 am Link There is a character in that Stanley Kubrick film named Merkin Muffrey. He played president of the United States.
