all about vag.





now, take a moment to recover from your awkward feelings, because i'm going to make it worse very soon.

as a future gynecologist / obstetrician and superstar women's rights activist, i'm pretty passionate about the vagina--the whole vulva and mons pubis, actually. i'm also very comfortable and open with discussing these things. lots of girls feel an unavoidable embarrassment when just the word "vagina" is mentioned. me--i use it everyday. sometimes overly so. "oh, my vagina is happy like from the Vagina Monologues!"

female genitalia are not treated fairly! boys get to touch and familiarize themselves with their parts daily when they piss from the youngest of ages. they even give their parts nicknames, like Peter and such, and this is considered normal. it's nearly a crime that ladies don't accept this privilege. we are raised from birth to be super conservative with the knowledge and love of our bodies. it's OK for fellas to masturbate regularly, but unheard of for ladies to do so too?! a sexist double-standard. hello! some girls don't even know the different names for parts of their sexuality, thus are not fully knowledgeable of their own bodies! how can you expect such a lady to then take proper care of herself and make developed and informed decisions?! a crime, if you ask me. please, please, please tell me that you at least know where your clitoris is, and that this tiny part of yourself houses a crap-ton more nerves than does a male's entire penis. how's that for female empowerment?!

now back to the photo and making your awkward feelings worse: sadly enough, i used to be self-conscious about the appearance of my down-below region for absolutely no reason. society truly prevents us from accepting the reality that women are real down there and that we all don't look the same. so, to continue the damage to my poor and unsuspecting readers, which photo from above best resembles you? i know someone who's a 25!

some links that i love. please visit! you will thank me!
this idea was ripped from the gurl.com relationships and sex message board.

TiLT! [edited]

*now fixed for commenting!*

it's time for another lovely Things I Love Thursday! there is so much to pack into this list that i won't even try to fit in everything. i'll save some for friday. and saturday. and everyday because there's plenty to go around the entire week. woot, woot!





 





  • my hair. i'm wearing my real hair now, which is amazingly long. i'm always surprised to see how far down my back it is when i remove the extensions.
  • my blogger friends. i'm actually becoming quite fond of all of you bitches for some reason. y'all are just so great and pretty and fun! i just want to have a big party and bake cinnamon rolls for you while we watch Sons of Anarchy!
  • my new commenting system. i hope that it isn't giving you any trouble. i know that typing in your email address is a chore, but Disqus allows for threading, which is just so cool! that means real replies instead of the @person convention! if you're interested in switching, go ahead and ask me about the experience.
  • the fact that i can wear boots and a coat over my sundresses to winterize them. somebody's going to be cute, cute, cute tomorrow! do you do this already and does it make you feel extra feminine?
  • one of my teachers joke flirting with me. while i was taking an exam. "You look different today [my freshly blown-out hair]! What are you doing later?" haha! you silly man!
  • Andrew's grandmother sewing me a pink pillow! i really love her and all of my second family so much.
  • my new, hot pink bra with a bell in the middle. you can hear me suspiciously jingling around corners... where is that coming from?
  • and this new sex position that my old man and i have come up with. extra nice! excuse me for this isolated and candid emission.

anyone else who participates in Things I Love Thursday, link back to your own lists, or just tell me something nice! and it's almost the weekend! i hope everyone has some fun plans [or just some good sleep] lined up!

ciao!

random and overheard from a friend:

creepy Halloween experience one of my girls had in old University Town.

"random guy last night: "let me guess... you're aunt jemima?" me: "uhhhh no i'm little red riding hood." random guy: "omg i'm so sorry! here let me give you a hug... don't be afraid i know i'm black but i won't rape you cuz i'm actually gay." ^ weirdest encounter with a stranger i've ever had."

ahhh, the craziness and misfortune of disgustingly drunk people! i'm seriously more afraid of being raped by one of my best friends than random black guys. what a sick way to think about one's own race. heh.

Yaya!

she's attacking my MiMaw now. MiMaw is walking on a pink cane. gotta go save her! :-D
