Tips for the Ladies
From Chelsea Lately (on E!--if you haven't watched it, you should). Amy Sedaris teaches Chelsea about keeping her hooha clean--using a model designed by Todd Oldham. Very funny stuff, though not for the prudish ;)
What I love about this clip is the fact that we finally see a giant (or large, at least) vagina - in all its glory, so to speak. I'm so sick of the sanitized, cosmetically-perfected, airbrushed representation of the vagina as naturally tiny, delicately-manicured, and photo-ready. This representation stems from the pornography industry and the mainstream desire to make vaginas look "pretty," but clearly does nothing but make women's insecurities about their bodies even worse, as fact which can be seen in the increased trend of women having labioplasty. I'm all for a nip and tuck, but when women turn to surgical procedures like this, our country is no better than those who condone (or simply turn a blind eye) to female genital mutilation.
All this is to say "Thank you!" to Chelsea Handler and Amy Sedaris for putting a realistic-looking vajay-jay on display :)

She's crazy. In a good way.
Which one? :)

I've come to understand that she was a boozer, a user and a loser.
Part of me wants to study the Sedarises like an anthropologist.
