    Probably because they invent a new term that they use in the headline, “pubic wigs”, even though KK is quoted in the article directly referring to it as a merkin.

    This isn’t an article so much as its an ad, and merkin isn’t a sexy term.

      Maybe because they thought their readers wouldn’t know what a merkin is but can probably imagine what a pubic wig is?

      And it is not an invented term when it is literally the description of what something is.

      ~50 % of USAmericans read at middle school level and you think CNN doesn’t use the word merkin because they want to hype a Kardashian?
