I am very late to Game of Thrones; I just started watching over Memorial Day weekend. I am on Season 3 — no fucking spoilers, please. I have a major bone to pick with all the full frontal nudity: there is a glaring problem. Everyone’s pubic area is very well groomed.
They’ve gone to all the trouble to create realism in some aspects of this magical world with thoughtful, meticulous sets, costumes, hair and makeup. They make the hair on people‘s heads dirty and overgrown which makes sense given the time period...
...when impeccable hygiene just wasn’t possible, even for the high born. When I see not only a well manicured pubic area, but a puss that’s clearly been waxed (I’ve even seen a landing strip on one of the brothel workers), it’s totally preposterous!
Can someone quote the original source material that says women shaved their pubic areas? Otherwise, this is a major fucking oversight for a show that features so much nudity. Plus, there are merkins for a reason. I’m not saying you have to ask actors to...
get the part, but just put on a fucking merkin, would you? It keeps interrupting my suspension of disbelief. Has anyone already written a think piece on this? #got
