I have a confession to make. I have a horrible obsession with gofugyourself.com and I have no idea why. Okay, I pretty much know why, but I'm still horrified.
Regardless, the most recent image of a manly looking Fergie isn't as disturbing to me as the audacity of the UK Cosmo magazine to advertise designer vaginas to women on the cover. So apparently this is hip in the world of plastic surgery? Perhaps I'm living in a cave, perhaps this is old news, but...

How. Can. This. Be. Okay?

There are dangers involved in this! Scarring, diminished sensation, loss of your soul...

I'm going to say it and I know, I know, but just think of this: how is surgical pressure to conform to society's ideal vulva that much different than the genital mutilation we are trying so hard to stop? How did we get to this?

I'm not a blogher but I tell ya, if I were I'd be starting a chant of "I love my Vagina" right about now. Everyone's vulva is unique. I've seen a good number and I don't believe any of them were even remotely the same. It may not look like the air-brushed Playboy centerfold or the porn star you are watching, but it's beautiful because it's yours. While I'm glad women are at least looking at their vulva, I wish they were in a position where they would love it as well.

If you want to know more, talk about this, or read how other women feel about their vaginas, vagina verite is a great site to start with.
