Forget contouring those curves -- Kim Kardashian’s busy curating carpets, 'cause she's gone full rogue with her "SKIMS: The Ultimate Bush" line ... serving up a whole new way to let the garden grow.
Yup, Kim rolled out her new "Faux Hair Panty" line with a retro ’70s throwback -- the golden era of full-frontal foliage -- in a cheeky game-show spoof on SKIMS' IG Tuesday ... where three bold babes show off their downstairs décor in a "Does the Carpet Match the Drapes?" face-off.
Over on the SKIMS site, the new micro-string thong comes in every kind of crotch couture -- curly, straight, wild, tamed ... your kitty, your kingdom!
And while plenty of pearl-clutchers are screaming "WTF" online, shoppers clearly want a mouthful of muff -- 'cause most of the options are already low in stock or waitlist.
Basically, looks like the ladies are ready to follow Kim’s lead -- ditching the razors and letting it all grow. No ifs, ands, or butts ... Kim’s called it: the bush is back, y’all!

I don't want anything to do with her bush!! She's seen more dicks than Yankee Stadium urinals.
@everyone
A new Consumer Reports investigation found protein powders and shakes have a concerning level of lead.
Consumer Reports first tested protein powders 15 years ago. Since then, protein products have grown in popularity in the nutrition and wellness craze.
Big picture view:
Unlike prescription and over-the-counter drugs, the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t review, approve, or test supplements like protein powders before they are sold.
By the numbers:
Consumer Reports tested 23 protein powders and ready-to-drink shakes from popular brands. About 70% of products tested contained over 120% of CR’s level of concern for lead, which is 0.5 micrograms per day.
What they're saying:
"It’s concerning that these results are even worse than the last time we tested," said Tunde Akinleye, the CR food safety researcher who led the testing project.
"We advise against daily use for most protein powders, since many have high levels of heavy metals and none are necessary to hit your protein goals."
Dig deeper:
This time, in addition to the average level of lead being higher than what was found 15 years ago, fewer products also had undetectable amounts.

Consumer Reports recommended the following products be avoided:
Consumer Reports recommended limiting the following products to once a week:
Consumer Reports recommended the following products were OK to eat occasionally throughout the week:
Consumer Reports recommended these products as better choices for daily consumption:
Consumer Reports recommended this product OK to consume without limit:
CR contacted all manufacturers of the 23 products tested. Seven companies did not respond: BSN, Dymatize, Jocko Fuel, Muscle Milk, Owyn, PlantFusion, and Transparent Labs. Optimum Nutrition declined to comment, and Huel did not respond to questions about the amount of cadmium found in its product.
Of those that responded, many say that lead is a naturally occurring element that is difficult to avoid, particularly in plant-based products, and that their products undergo testing to ensure safety.
What you can do:
There’s no reason to panic if you’ve been using any of the products tested, testers with Consumer Reports said, or if you take protein supplements generally. Many of these powders are fine to have occasionally, and even those with the highest lead levels are far below the concentration needed to cause immediate harm.
Consumer Reports just says their findings highlight why consumers should carefully consider the role of protein powders and shakes in their diet.
The average American adult is exposed to up to 5.3 micrograms of lead each day through their diet, according to a 2019 analysis published by scientists at the FDA.
The two products that tested for the highest amount of lead per serving exceeded that average amount: Naked Nutrition’s Mass Gainer (7.7 micrograms per serving) and Huel’s Black Edition (6.3 micrograms per serving).
Big picture view:
Lead may be present in food from the environment where foods are grown, raised, or processed, according to the FDA. And it is not possible to completely prevent lead from entering the food supply, but it may be possible to reduce the levels through changes to agricultural or manufacturing processes.
Dig deeper:
The greatest danger from adverse effects of lead exposure comes from repeated or continuous exposure. Pregnant people and children are the most vulnerable, and childhood exposure to lead can cause long-term harm, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Chronic lead exposure has also been linked to immune suppression, reproductive problems, kidney damage, and high blood pressure in adults, Consumer Reports said.
The Source: Information in this article was taken from a Consumer Reports investigation published Oct. 14, 2024, analyzing the levels of toxic heavy metals in 23 popular protein powders and shakes. Background information was taken from the FDA and the CDC. This story was reported from Detroit.
