^ Because of my history, it started in kindergarten, or before. Oh the stories I could tell, the neighbor girls whom I inadvertently terrified, just by, well, sharing.

Anyway.....

Enough of that.

So as a means to overcome the lack of permission from another artist (see the great wall of vagina up thread) I ended up creating a new work myself which I'm now offering as a 2nd level reward/benefit for the project. http://afterdinnerparty.com/support

After I'd finished I did get permission from the artist, but, hey, oh well, now there are more to share...

vulvas, beautiful, unique, vulvas!

Pieces submitted for the show.

ADP participants have been busy...

Are you getting any figures as to how many people have checked out the "What is this" poster with their smartphones?

While I'm proud to have inspired this thread, and have been on pretty good terms with the clitorii in my post pubescent life, I was alternately embarrassed and irritated by this article.

By one Peter Fuckwah or some similarly stupid name. Obviously this guy is a tech geek and has no actual experience with what he is talking about or he wouldn't be using names like hoo hoo" or "front bottom" to describe vaginas.

Just a few so far today. They just went up, we shall see.

Most hits come from Google searches on the word clitoris. In the US, ADP ranks between #17 to #37 in results, in other countries it's higher, in some places I'm in the top 10. Can you believe that?

Second most common source is people sharing the link on Facebook.

Hoo-hoo indeed, ffs.

More on the G-spot a couple pages up, with pics: http://rigorousintuition.ca/board2/viewtopic.php?p=444478#p444478

Wow.

The organ is still being defined.
Today in an email from Rebecca Chalker, author of The Clitoral Truth:

Rebecca Chalker wrote: In this regard, it would be useful if you could some how highlight the urethral sponge of the clitoris in some way. What is typically referred to as the "G spot" is not a spot at all, but an integral structure of the clitoral system, and more important, in significant ways, than the crura (legs). Maybe that's another project!

She says she will publish on the topic shortly. I may have to make ADP an annual event, with revisions.

Apparently the term cliteracy has been around for awhile. Dr. Susan Stiritz sent me her 2008 paper: Cultural Cliteracy: Exposing the Contexts of Women's Not Coming

Interesting. Thanks for that.

It's today! The After Dinner Party is today and I can't go! Waaaaaaaaah! Yaaaaaaaaah! Wooooohoooooo! Go get'em tigra!

Well, for me it was a resounding success, not in terms of money by any means, as the balance sheet shows a net loss, actually, a HUGE net loss. So much for putting on a fundraiser, but in terms of making something happen, with only the good will of friends and supporters, sheer luck, and determination, well, it could not have been any better. The space(s) looked absolutely beautiful. I had nothing but joy in designing the exhibit, and nothing but praise from attendees, and two of the performances were absolutely unforgettable. I love you mc survivor/author Janet Thomas, who did a marvelous reading, and my neighbor Queen Shmooquan, who put on a show that had people doubled over with laughter for ten minutes straight. She was brilliant. I am honored and humbled that so many artists invested their time and talents into this show. Video will be forthcoming.

Here are some preliminary stills...



Giant inflatable clit that viewers posed with all night, some by inserting themselves between the bulbs. I had given up on it, as I had never made an inflatable before, until my friend Willow (yes, I have a friend named Willow whom I met long after I adopted my screen name) encouraged me to continue making despite my misgivings. It was not fully inflated until2 hours before the opening and miraculously worked perfectly just in time.





So the absolute coup is that I get to keep the big neon clit sign. I will hang it in my window, which people will be able to see on their approach from the South into downtown.







Underneath these vulva drawings I posted statistics on labiaplasty in the West and genital mutilation in other countries.

The neon sign is gorgeous. Glad you're pleased with the way the show turned out, wish we all could get there.

I'm thinking scale this up to giant Macy's Parade balloon?

"Start spreading the news..."




So sorry I couldn't make it! and so glad it went well.
