I’m a bit late, but here’s a velvet vulva hat (scroll all the way down): http://www.artgoddess.com/purses.htm

Well, that answers that.

@aleks: No, I don’t want health-industry-owned hacks like John Ensign running our healthcare. I’d prefer the folks who are running the VA — which since Bill Clinton fixed it up has been at or near the top in pretty much every US healthcare quality and performance study (yes, it beats out the Mayo).

And you want those same government officials or others very like them to run healthscare?!?!

IrishUp, I keep trying to think of an occasion for which a vagina portrait pendant is appropriate.

The story on her profile page is really lovely though. It seems like making vagina portraits (in addition to heaps of feminism) is really healing and good for her.

“I said it there and I’ll say it there, the entire fashion industry and all it’s auxiliary businesses, including fashion columnists, can disappear for all I care.”

Amen, Sniper. Amen. The fact that Sotamayor was judged so harshly on her goddamn CLOTHES (which have nothing AT ALL to do with how she will perform as a justice) when no male nominee EVER would have been just reinforces my belief that the double standard is alive, well, and tapdancing merrily through the mass media while sticking out its tongue at feminists. And people wonder why I start flailing and foaming when they tell me “But women have equality! Why do we still need feminists?”…

Now, if we’re all going to be wearing vagina hats, I appoint myself official seamstress. I will use Spoonflower to make up some vagina-print fabric and make us all kick-ass vagina dresses to match our hats. We will look AWESOME when we picket Robin Givhans!
Interesting side note: I once saw a vintage (1950s, if I recall( dress that was printed with sperm (yes, really) on Ebay. It sold for a buttload of money. I, myself, would of course rather have a dress printed with ova. Or vaginas. Whichever.

IrishUp, I keep trying to think of an occasion for which a vagina portrait pendant is appropriate. I can’t think of any that don’t also involve exposing the real thing…and in that case, why bother? The original is much more beautiful and not made out of clay.

I nominate “vagina-hat consultants” as our next tagline.

If we did all wear vagina hats, there’d probably be an entire industry of vagina-hat millinery built around vagina-hat remodeling.

Elastic wearing thin? Vulva lost its flock? Labia getting pilly? Clit getting lumpy? Pinks not so rosy? Some sagging or staining around the brim? Perhaps you just feel that the shape of your vagina hat is dated or unflattering. Perhaps you just want a trim. For a fraction of the price of an actual vagina touchup, you can re-custom your vagina hat to better fit your skull and your wardrobe. Visit our vagina-hat consultants today!

@minerva Wearing your female genitals on your head qualifies for me. Unfortunately, I’m not in charge of anything. And to prove I know the rules, I know that seeing a woman with her genitals on her head does not equal consent.
