Ladies, Summer's Eve knows vaginas, and this summer, they want to make sure you do, too. Studies show that nearly 70% of women cannot accurately identify their hooha and its "lovely lady parts." In an effort to educate women on their genitalia, Summer's Eve produced a fifty-second video starring a woman's hand, or a stand-in vagina, that talks directly to viewers. more ›

Yes, like Ventura's split from its original name (San Buenaventura) or San Diego's true Spanish meaning (a whale's vagina), Los Angeles comes from a much larger city name - El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula (The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels on the River Porciúncula). And like other rare departments in the landscape of city government (Port of Los Angeles or Neighborhood... more ›

Last week an Orange County jury saved a former cop from a 10 year prison sentence when they said that although David Alex Park's semen was found on the sweater of a woman he pulled over soon after leaving her job at a gentleman's club, that the sex was consensual, because, as the defense attorney told the jury, "she got what she wanted, she’s an overtly sexual person." According to reports by the LA... more ›

Dear Sabrina’s Vagina, more ›

Not so helpful advice from the giver of life. Dear Sabrina's Vagina, I suppose this question is directed to you because I have no one else to turn to. I like to think that I am a physically fit, twenty-six-year-old male. I should be the sort of guy that every woman wants. I am successful, intelligent and outgoing. I have good taste in art, music and movies. Even though I am apart of (and... more ›

Today's Piece O' Shit Product O' The Day award goes to Fun Betty. Not only does dying one's pubes seem distinctly un-fun and potentially dangerous (I don’t care how toxin-free they claim this crap is), but now we’re all supposed to refer to our cooters/pussies/hairy pink tacos as a Betty? Unilaterally deciding that "Betty" is commonly used slang for vagina doesn’t make it so. more ›

We can't wait until Sarah Silverman gets to host the Oscars. Would she make jokes about the freshness of her vagina, like she does in the opening monologue of the Independent Spirit Awards today?

Theresa Duncan is a writer and filmmaker who lives in Venice Beach. She is also adept at communicating her vision in any media. A veteran game designer before the age of 30, Theresa has authored several popular multimedia games for girls, including the cult classic video game "Chop Suey." In 1998, she made her first film, called The History of Glamor, an animated musical satire tweaking the pretentions of the worlds of fashion, art, celebrity and New York art cliques in the '90s. Her latest film, produced by indie vets Anne Carey and Andrew Bregman and scheduled for production in New York this summer, focuses on two Upper East Side schoolgirls who kidnap a rock star who becomes more famous after he disappears. Even while in the midst of pre-production, Theresa still has time to maintain the kick-ass blog " Wit of the Staircase," where she shares her passions for perfume, art, love, magic, fashion, literature, culture, and music with readers. When one visits "Wit of the Staircase," one never knows what one will find on Theresa's mind that day, but readers always return, confident that each new entry will be as interesting as the last one. more ›

If there is a woman we know who could fit the word vagina into any sentence, it's Eve Ensler.

She is currently in town performing her most recent play, The Good Body, at the Wadsworth Theater in Brentwood.

We spent Memorial Day Weekend away from the computer. We were enjoying the surprisingly pleasant weather outside running and reading books. We spent Saturday night at the Infusion Gallery with Cannibal Flower and their 80s prom art event (which featured an awful lot of art focused on the vagina as well as Vincent Calenzo). We caught up on our spring cleaning and we enjoyed "The Longest Yard" far more than we ever expected to. more ›
