Seen on a NYC subway: An ad for pubic hair dye. Yes, possibly next to Dr. Zizmor and Con Ed "On It" ads are some for Betty Beauty, which explains it's "Boldly going where no color has gone before." CityRoom asked the MTA if the ads needed to be vetted first, but apparently they were fine. The company was founded by Nancy Jarecki (who co-founded Moviefone with her husband Andrew, who directed 'Capturing the Friedmans' and wrote the theme music to 'Felicity'!). As for the question on some of your minds, she said in a 2006 Radar interview, "It doesn't come off if you engage in any sort of physical activity. So, go for it."
