My eyes might look like that too, if I had just birthed a football.

Only possibly NSFW?

Probably depends on your occupation... I'm sure that it would be OK for a doctor or gynecologist, or something.

Of course, since I'm neither of those - and since I'm at work, I'm not going to check the link... phew! I'm safe! :-)

If only Princess Di had been driving a Vulva.

Amusing anecdote:

In my undergrad years, one of the girls in my dorm started talking about a vagina-derivative creature that she'd invented. She drew a diagram of a vulva armed with lots of needle teeth, and described its ferocity.

Her boyfriend stood by this whole time and chuckled uncomfortably.

breath: Was she a cinema studies major? The ferocious Vagina Dentata haunts much of the critical theory on horror films.

Interesting link, too!

The entire book is simply close up pictures of women's vulvas, in a non-porn, feminist setting.

But would a book filled with close-ups of penises be treated the same way? I would bet not. ;)

My favorite: Vulva in the Woods. Yep, nothing sez "positive portrayal of female sexuality" like a dark, grainy photo of a huge, disembodied vagina lying on the ground in a horror-movie-like forest.

The book "Femalia," by Joani Blank, is a revolutionary vulva book. The entire book is simply close up pictures of women's vulvas, in a non-porn, feminist setting. The book is amazing because it shows how very diverse women's genitals are, how no two look alike

I would actually like to see this book because my exposure to vulvas has been..er..very limited. It would be interesting to compare/contrast with my own. But sadly, I don't think my library will be ordering a copy of this.

...and named it "Sandy".

For some balance, try what Time call the Phallus Palace, as illustrated here [headline for the latter NSFW!]
