4/6/2003: Vulva puppet

The womyn at yoni.com have developed this very fine vulva puppet, and I'm not making fun of it, I'm really not. I *think* it was done for educational purposes, but the page doesn't really make that clear.

It looks comfortable, as if it would be good to snuggle up with. That's all I'm gonna say.

Uh huh.

Why?

Wow.. $240 is a lot of money for a pillow.. even if it is shaped like a vulva. I guess some folks really like their vaginas!

How in hell did you get a picture of my second wife??

But... but...

Why a puppet??? I mean, I wouldn't want any of my children growing up thinking that vulvas talk... And how would you explain to friends and neighbors when your kid starts telling them about the wonderful adventures they had with Vulva, their soft and cuddly friend?

This harkens to mind an old joke. I won't relate the entire thing here, but suffice to say that the punch line was "Hell, if we could find my car keys, we could *drive* out!" [rim shot]

it looks lonely

Re: But... but...

How disappointing.... I misread the title and was expecting a uvula. I guess it's time for new glasses.

For those who aren't interested in shelling out that much cash, the Origami Underground web page contains a couple different models that you can fold yourself.

[high school] I'd let it sit on my face any day. [/high school]

Okay, okay ...

Enough with the velveteen vulva.

Is there a companion piece (tee hee) available?

yeah, I know that the vulva is an expression of feminist pride and all, but I think there should be equal time ...

It would be a bit harder to make such a companion piece out of velvet.

Actually, I suppose you could just make it in a different form, but then it wouldn't be as fun as it could be.

If a man bought a giant velvet penis puppet for purposes of his male pride, he'd just be accused of being egotistical.

That is because peni are evil, bad, invasive, violating things. Vulva are creative, nurturing and beautiful.

Don't you read feminist literature?

I think I may have once used feminist literature to start a campfire.

(My idea of proper feminist lit is the Second Amendment Sisters newsletter ...)

Oh, and my not-so-little equal time friends can be found at www.dildoll.com

(I think the site name totally rocks.)

(WOW. These darn things sell for between $75-120. I oughta get started sewing rather than ridiculing 'em)

Vulva Puppet

Hola
I am the creator of the vulva puppet, Yoni is one of my outlets that sells them for me. Just one of the reasons I make them is for education.

guys not havin vulvas..well it's way more than just a vagina and when was the last time you saw a vulva map??

Lots more vulvas at MY site and vulva university too.

Welcome Dorrie!

All teenagers should be presented with a vulva map as a part of their education.

Hi Dorrie,
I was wondering if your neighbors hussle their children inside when you walk down the sidewalk? It seems like anytime someone tries add fun to elightenment, the Mad Mothers Against Anything Fun start picketing. Thanks for striking a blow against repression.

Vulva Puppets

Hola all
Neighbors love what I do, at least the ones I speak to..kids are extraordinally candid with me and ask questions all the time. So, the neighbors seem fine with the puppet, (did I mention the puppets smell good too? they are stuffed with potpourri and essential oils) When we had open studios, I had a parade of 6-12 year old girls coming in..
As with my long time friends and their children,, only one stoppped speaking to me and she was supposedly a liberated x-mormon.

the puppets support me, so I'm ever grateful to have work that provides some meaning in my life.

viva la vulvalution!!

I admire anyone who has the vision and drive to do something original and unique, especially if it pisses people off because it shakes up their narrow view of "how things should be". I t hink you've got all those bases covered, dorrielane. Congrats!
