The Wonders of Nature...

It worries me that these are on my first post...
hm, now I have a friend whose favourite analogy for *ahem* is; 'like a suitcase with clothes hanging out' can somebody please explain his reasoning?!

Not your granny's knitting...

It's a crocheted vagina! I found it on this little site http://www.yarnivore.com/mt/archives/000839.html after I read about it in Scarlet magazine.

Isn't it cute?

Now, the obvious question is, why would anyone knit a vagina? Well, I am currently constructing one out of felt myself, and even I don't know the answer to that question...But something even weirder is the fact that people are actually buying them!

http://www.crochetmycrotch.com/ ("home of the crocheted vulva and other vagina-insired goodies"!) sells vagina coin purses, tampon cases (quite a cute idea, that) and earmuffs (?!?!?).

The website's publicity reads:

"If you have ever wondered to yourself, "Gee, my life would be perfect if ONLY I had a crocheted vulva?" -- and who hasn't -- then this is the place for you. Now you can have your very own CROCHETED VULVA!"

Oh my god! I've just realised that the little internet explorer tile reads: "Crochet My Crotch: when you care enough to send to the very...strangest"

I love whoever designed that site and I want to have their babies.

Lesbian? This just might turn you straight...

This blog on the internationally famous Sundance Film Festival http://www.imdb.com/features/sundance/2007/blog/ mentions a very bizzare addition to the festival line-up.

Called Teeth, it is about a young woman who is so innocent that she doesn't realise it's not normal to have set of teeth in your vagina.

Doesn't that sound like the most terrifying film ever?

There's more on this mythological condition, apparently know as vagina dentata here on wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagina_dentata

To make this article more interesting, I decided to do a Google search for an image of vagina dentata. I really, really wish I hadn't.
