Lundi

VIVA LA VULVA
~"We will be more civilized and humane when beautiful genital imagery along with a positive attitude about masturbation is part of the sex education. In the conference flyer, it was called "Creating an Aesthetic for the Female Genitals," which was the academic way of saying "Becoming Cunt Positive." I didn't care what we called it as long as I got to do it."~Betty Dodson, Ph.D.

Take a Vagina Survey
~Write your own monologue

This survey is available for both men and women. It can be answered from two different viewpoints:
- A female describing her own vagina.
- A male describing his partner's vagina.

Editilla t'rilla~This gender "survey" offers a dualistic set of criteria for essay, while glaringly omitting a little box for our Trans'Ladder readers. Please notice the cunt'irony in the last parameter of the list.
Emphasis is all mine, babes!

  • Describe the vagina's outside appearance -- the color, the texture, etc.
  • Describe the labia (the outer lip-shaped folds)
  • What is the clitoris like? Is the clitoris easy to find?
  • What is the vaginal opening like? Do you think it is deep or shallow?
  • Can you (or do you) feel the cervix?
  • Can you describe the "G-spot"? (Many people debate where is it, what it feels like, etc.)
  • Does the vagina have a nick name? If so, what is it and why?
  • Does it ejaculate? If so, what is the ejaculation like?
  • Would you change anything about it if you could? Why?
Sooooo, yer oh'so humble Editilla would like to suggest that our Trans folk friends get to flip both sides of this coin from their perspective with perhaps even 2 essays--as indeed, I cannot imagine any gender scenario or story without such a voice.
Kid Warning: this site contains little advertisement boxes that would not be allowed on da'Ladda. Hell, I wouldn't expose my dog to them, if I had a dog...or even if we did adverts--which we conspicuously do not
--so there thank'ya vury much. That said, they do make every effort to dispell misunderestimations as to their motivations at "1001 Vaginas.com", especially regarding youngsters.

New Orleans UU churches launch fundraising campaign


It's called "Reinventing the Crescent"~While others may want to call it Californication, which is now as much about "branding" as this nearly $300 million plan to develope several miles of New Orleans riverfront, Moldy City was on top of this last July with background and excellent context, as well as,

Editilla, speechless, had not previously realized that the man behind this...project, Sean Cummings, is The Man About Town, the main man behind the entire riverfront reinvention and also behind the entrepeneural social networking site: "startupneworleans" and, to quote Saturday's TP: [Cummings heads the New Orleans Building Corp., the body that serves as the landlord for city-owned properties, and has been involved in real estate development. "What we're offering them is immediate trust and access to facts. We can show them firsthand what's going on here," Cummings said.]
Editilla hences~
Hmmm ok, Mr. Cummings...."What we (seem to) have hea'ya is a fail'ya ta'cammyoonicate?"
Here's a'bit more on Sean Cummings.
And a'bit more from July's USA Today:
[Some have criticized Cummings mingling his private and public roles — as condo developer and executive director of the New Orleans Business Corporation — particularly because one of his condo projects is being developed near the riverfront project.
"It's a natural conflict of interest," said Beth James, Mayor Ray Nagin's former executive assistant for economic development.--(Whoa'sec n'take a check there, Mon Chere. Editilla needs to know da'godamnifications of so blithe a slipperity as "a natural conflict of interest"? While I often enjoy letting my right hand know what my left hand is doing, I have never considered such gesticulations an expression of yer so-called "natural conflict of interest", only basic hygiene:) (I mean just because so many people seem to be into it doesn't mean it's clean...or even a river in Egypt, eh?)

In 2005 the Louisiana Board of Ethics ruled that Cummings could continue in the dual roles as long as he doesn't benefit any more than other area developers. (OK so the Ethics Board committed textbook DoubleThink: the ability to believe 2 contrdictory ideas simultaneously. It is right where Orwell said it would be: in black and white. Excuse me while I wrench my brain from the inside of this rat cage. However, with his next teller performance, Editilla recognizes Mr. Cummings as a graduate suma cum frum'da P.T. Barnham School of Shameless Self Promotions-->) He acknowledged his projects will benefit from the riverfront development, but said his civic work stems from a drive to develop his battered city and stimulate the economy.
Other critics warn the project could draw short-term visitors and threaten New Orleans's unique culture. "You're going to import a lot of 'rich, hip cools,'" said Joel Kotkin, author of the The City: A Global History, a study of urban centers. "'Rich, hip cools' don't create anything. You think Aspen and Maui are cultural havens?"]
And s'more from the week before the storm.
