would you wear this?


What is it exactly? A Pocket Vulva. Yep. That's what it is. And it's available in any color you want.

Hand knitted by local crafter NYMG, it's officially a brooch and also (less officially but perhaps not) quite the crafty way for you to "show off your fabulous [feminist] side."

Actually I remember purchasing a crocheted vagina change purse years ago at a local craft show here in Baltimore. My mother of all people was so captivated by it that she begged me to make her one for Christmas. So, I figured out how to make a personalized version with extra furry yellow yarn for the lining (my mother is blonde). That's probably TMI, but who cares? I'm in a TMI kind of mood after seeing The Pocket Vulva for the first time.

So, what do you think? Would you wear it? Leave your answer below.
