When I was a youngster my' private part' was referred to as a GiGi (not too sure of the spelling, but since it is a made up word I will go with this). It is/was pronounced ghee ghee...not like the movie starring Charles Boyer.
Vagina is a stupid word at the best of times; having it shouted by a three-year-old can only add to its unutterable weirdness. So what can kids call it instead? The options are woeful, but they would appear to be as follows:
★ Front bottom
★ Flower
★ Kitty
★ Bajingo
★ Foo-foo
★ Hoo-hee
★ Hoo-hoo
I remember flying to visit my Mom, with my then two year old daughter, and when we flew over the city of Regina the pilot announced that fact.
'For those of your on the left side of the plane, we are flying over Regina.'
My daughters eyes grew wide and she leaned toward the window and yelled in an astonished voice...'.we are flying over.....a VAGINA????'
The vagina has been the most obsessed-over body part since apes began to walk upright. Just ask any teenage boy....
Life in the Stone Age was relatively simple. I'm thinkin' one’s job was to eat and reproduce. Neither was easy back then, so Stone Age man turned to the mystical properties of cave art to help ensure the hunts for both game and the opposite sex. This image below, of a vulva, one of the earliest known examples of cave carving, is also one of the oldest known examples of artwork. There has been some argument among experts as to whether or not this circle with a slash through it is in fact a vagina. Perhaps—but I think it looks exactly like an ‘On/off’ button.

HAHA you will never look at your keyboard the same from now on.............
But is it art?
For some strange reason Henri's cupcakes sold extremely well at the church fund raiser.
Then of course, this obsession is not something new. Back in the day we had Madonna, who for some strange reason, thought her coffeetable book of her own body parts, including her PRIVATES (not so much now) was a great idea. A coffeetable book!!!!....something to flip through while your hostess is preparing dinner??
But 2014 seemed to be a year to remember for society bringing that part of a womans body into the forefront, so to speak......".Man stuck in stone vagina" reads the headline. Apparently there is a large stone vagina sculpture in Germany. An American student decided it would be a good idea to actually crawl into it.....he said on a dare. Yeah right. Personally I think he was recreating his birth.
ANYWAY, he is now immortalized on the Interweb with the upper part of his body sticking out of a very large, very pink vagina. It is said that the 'firefighters delivered him headfirst.' Put that on your resume buddy.
Then of course, there is the woman who decided to build a kayak shaped like her vagina. How does she know what hers looks like? Digital photography works wonders.....no more guy at the pharmaceutical store gazing adoringly at your private parts as they shoot out of the film machine...... EEEWWWWW.
No, now she can snap away in the privacy of her own home until she gets the right angle and then proceed to 'make art.' Last I heard she is up on charges for indecency. I'm wondering, if she hadn't actually told someone that this is what was represented....would anyone have noticed?
Last but not least, and closer to home. My Dear Husband told someone that Niki Minaj (if you don't know who she is, don't worry, you are probably better off not knowing about her)....put a picture of her own private part on her latest album. Well, that is simply not true, and I don't know where that rumor started but I am concerned that Dear Husband looked at it and saw THAT!
'We are going to try a Rorschach test Mr. B. What do you see here?'
Dear Husband, ' I think a young naked woman sat in some pink paint and then sat on some paper and put it on the cover of her latest album.'
' REALLY!!!!!! VERY interesting.....'
In FACT, the cover picture is a sandy textured pink splatter with a thumb print in the middle on a black background.
But it makes me ponder.....How many women in the world.... are all sitting on their assets.
Things I have learned this week:
It is extremely hard to find a funky, quirky, house appropriate tea pot here in the southern U.S. of A. I have been looking in every shop we visit. Sure I have found some, but none that will fit the bill....as in MY bill. I want one that goes with the house. Crazy, I know, but that is what I am looking for. Of course down here when someone says "would you like a cup of tea?" they mean a CUP - NOT a pot. Toss a tea bag in a cup and dunk it up and down...there you go. No, that is not the way to make tea. Tea is a process - a process with a pot - and I will continue my search.

We are very, very lucky to have family and friends. We wish them all the best in the coming new year.
