The History of Vajazzaling

Okay so here dear friends is a brief history of the recent trend of vajazzling:


It started on Lopez Tonight with Jennifer Love Hewitt telling George Lopez how she used Vajazzling to help her get over a break up. Whatever works for you honey.




It apparently shined like a disco ball.


This microtrend then got picked up by the, er, women's media, and Bryce Gruber was the first one out there to make her sparkly pubic area public:

After
















So then she apparently still hadn't had enough exposure after this and decided to put a video up on luxuryspot.com, showing the act of vajazzling in process. Funny note, the woman who does the vajazzling was too embarrassed to say the word 'vagina'.



Yeah so anyway, Bryce is apparently celibate so I hope she gets great pleasure out of looking at that all day. Apparently it was done in the name of investigative journalism.


If you really feel you need to get this done, get your vajayjay down to Completely Bare Salon in NYC.


Endnote: The history of Vajazzling probably goes way further back than this, possibly to the Mona Lisa, but I do not have time to research such matters now.

Girls and Boys

So important:

I welcome the day when girls learn that their agency and self-sufficiency in the world is as important as their looks, and boys learn that they are valued for reasons other than how much money they make, and their own skills as fathers matter tremendously.

Lawd, this should have been my theme song for 2008/9.

I would quite like to post every video variation to this song. Maybe I will.

Sorry but no...

One of the wonders of the medium of the internet is that it has brought forth a new style of writing via a platform for previously unheard voices, a topic which I need to come back to. What I don't understand, and clearly what the monoliths of "old media" don't understand, is that old media isn't just failing because of the internet but also because it's formulas and ways of being are tired and often no longer relevant. So I don't understand magazines that simply put their vehicles online as they already are. And now a new site Crushable from Elizabeth Spiers the original editor of Gawker, I would have imagined she would have known better. But no, here it is again, another version of the same old tired women's magazine. Features on "Dress in pink for a week"? No. No way, no how, get outta here, you are not of this time.

Do not agree

From Joan Didion's Goodbye To All That, and essay which I love but see the fault of youth in, she writes "the way you love the first person who ever touches you and you never love anyone quite that way again." No not true, the guff of your first love will always be your biggest is garbage, and is only uttered by someone who hasn't loved much or settled down young.

Me, My Blog and I

So now that I've come to realise that absolutely no-one at all is reading my blog, not even me, I'm probably just going to start making it more much personal as as outlet for myself.

This will undoubtedly make it both more and less and interesting at the same time.

There seems to be a current complaint trend on the internets about people's narcissism and repulsive oversharing when it comes to personal blogs. I say there is difference between those who are trying to garner attention via the internet, and those who use this medium simply a an outlet, just like the journal of yore.
