By Alicia: The Sexual Intellectual If you tuned in to episode #5 of Raw Sex, you heard Bobby and I discussing the story of Casey Jenkins a 34 year old self proclaimed "craftivist" who for 28 days will be sitting in a gallery knitting a scarf, from a ball of wool inserted in her vagina. YEP! you heard that right folks...in her HOOHOO, clam shack, beav, love hole, baby cannon...whatever term makes the story more comfortable for you to read. Casey is doing this performance art piece to show people that the vulva is a beautiful thing, nothing to be scared of and that "nothing is going to run out of it and eat you." Casey also doesn't allow her menstrual cycle to interfere with her art; although she does admit that the yarn becomes more difficult to use when blood soaked, it just adds character to her piece. She admits that knitting with the wool inserted in her vagina can be restricting but not painful, she also says it is sometimes arousing. I give Casey immense credit and support. I love vulvas, I do think they are amazing, beautiful and nothing to be afraid, ashamed or embarrassed of. They come in all shapes and sizes but just as the rest of our bodies, there is something out there for everyone. |
