According to Vajazzling.com Vajazzling: The act of applying glitter and jewels to a woman's nether regions for aesthetic purposes. I ran across this Great Blog About Vajazzling last night and was further creeped out. Now, I hadn't thought of Vajazzling much lately, but I had heard of it, hadn't given it much thought. I was folding laundry and halfway watching one of those "stupid people from New Jersey shows" a couple of weeks ago, and there was a little princess going on a first date and she had to go get "Vajazzled." I, not being the type to let any stranger with a jar of wax come near my unmentionable region -was a little floored that this is a topic on television, much less that people in any great amount of numbers are doing it. There must be some cultural obsession among certain circles of ladies about having your hair done, and not the hair on your head.
Personally, the thought of a manicurist touching my hands creeps me out, so you know that I would never consider the secret pleasures that await from having my unmentionables glammed up like a bejeweled handbag from 1976.
Part of me is laughing at these women, who not only will go pay money to have strangers pour hot wax on their private area and strip it off, but then to know they are following it up with crystals slathered in glue. I hate to be a country hick but it doesn't interest me whatsoever. *It sounds itchy too.
In a way this obsession with hairlessness seems childish, and creepy. It almost has the feel of wanting to look like a child. It is disturbing. Not that I'm on the pro-granola crunching team of women saying don't shave your pits or legs, not at all. I just feel that women in our society are under so much pressure to be pretty that we have taken it to a whole new level. What will they find to do next.
What will culture find to market to women next? There is already a select group that only feel that they can be happy from carrying around $500 purses and driving the best cars. Television networks have show after show devoted to telling women they aren't good enough. Look at the "keeping up with the Joneses" attitudes on the "Real Housewives" shows. We have shows telling women they are too fat and must lose weight to be pretty. There are shows about fashion and how not to dress. So much time, money and energy promoted to help women tear each other down or making each other look ridiculous . We are our own worst enemy. It doesn't help that we also have the "Frenemy" atmosphere.
I am not sure what this new "trend" says about the males in our society, or whether they like or dislike shiny sparklies glued on their ladies, I would guess to say they probably don't care as long as they have access to it. So ladies, if you want to create a new industry of crotch decorators (hey in this economy maybe it IS a good thing) go ahead. But just maybe you should just take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself is it really that important to look like a discoball down below?
You probably know more about me than you'd like to know now, especially about the fact that the only thing that sparkles on me is my diamond rings. So ladies, just say no to the crystal crotch (or at least keep it a secret, I've already found too many pictures on the web). I hate to tell you this but its not pretty. Sorry.
