VulvaLoveLovely is an Etsy retailer which sells custom-made vaginal portrait jewelry. Simply send a photo of your vag and the artist will make a lifelike replica of it, dangling from a chain! The point is to encourage women to celebrate their vulvas and stuff, which is nice, but VulvaLoveLovely isn’t satisfied with just a photo—they want your vaginal feelings too. “Send me a convo describing your vagina: the shape of your inner and outer labia, colors, how much or how little your inner labia extend out from your outer labia, how well hidden your clitoris is, is it heavily hooded, or can you see it fairly easily?” Um, yeah, I’m with Regretsy on this one:
“You know, it’s unnerving enough that there’s someone out there, painstakingly making polymer replicas of your cooter ... [but] if I’m going to spend that much time online talking to a stranger about my p**sy, I better be playing with myself.”

This is not cool. It’s weird and spooky. Look at my private part on my necklace, look at what your are missing. Hummmmm….. don’t know about that message.

Looks like someone could use a tuck.

As much as I love my vagina, I really don’t need an artistic replication of it to let her know that she is special. And yeah when I am going to have a convo about my vagina, unless I’m with the gyno, and not get off, she gets mad.

Another action worthy of the phrase “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”

Please don’t wear this on a first date, it leaves nothing to the imagination.

Creepy. I mean, I can understand being proud of it, but fashioning a pendant in its likeness and wanting everyone to see is silly.

This looks like a very anatomical fortune cookie.

@Pinky: Oh I hope not. Do you really want to hear all the juvenile “hung low” jokes that would inevitably follow?

I had a dream. A hope that, one day, I could find a way to get hundreds of women to not only send me pictures of their vaginas but also to describe them to me.
Then it hit me: porcelain pussy pendants. I’d sell them on etsy. I’d pay some poor kids in the 3rd world 10 cents to make them. And women would pay to send me pictures of themselves.
Some merely dream. Others, like me, live the dream.

I said it before in response to that menstruation-blood-as-lipstick posting:
Celebrating my reproductive organs makes me feel just as objectified and reduced to basic anatomy as does male obsession with my boobs. No, thanks.

<8-O One terrifying vulva. Ladies, don’t ever let it come to that.

@JenniferRly: Thank you. You can make mine with an order.
@ChoJinn: So where should it come?

I wouldnt even know how to comment on it if someone i knew were to wear this…thing. I don’t think its appropriate work attire, clubs are too dark, and private parties this…thing…would illicit way too much negative comment.
