Anyway I hope you have more!

Don't be fooled though, Roger - many of these 'non-hair' pics have had it retouched out!

I think it may be an old custom in north africa or arab countries for women to shave their pubic hair. At least I knew a woman who lived in Egypt in the late 1990s who said there were women who had it as their profession to go on house visits and provide intimate shaves of women.

Pubic shaving/waxing seems to have been a pre-Islamic Arab custom as well as an Ancient Egyptian one.

Most Muslims regard it as mandatory or at least "highly recommended". According to Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith #5890
Allah's Messenger said, "To shave the pubic hair. to clip the nails and to cut the moustaches short, are characteristics of the Fitra" [state of religious purity].
which "should not be neglected far more than forty nights"

Today's fully covered up niquab-wearing women would presumably be completely bald beneath all that "modest covering".

Also: strange to think that the modern Western fashion of bald pubes could be regarded as being Sharia-compliant!
