Just some fun little things.

I found the above image today, and the following quote last week. I liked them and thought I'd share. What fun or serious feminist quotes or images are your favorite? "There are very few jobs that actually require a penis or vagina. All other jobs should be open to everybody. " Florynce Kennedy

"On March 8, 1857, thousands of working women marched through the streets of New York City demanding an end to sweat-shop conditions, improved childcare facilities, equal pay for equal work, and the right to vote. In 1910 at the International Conference of Women Socialists, Clara Zetkins proposed that March 8th be observed as International Working Women’s Day in honor of the New York March. Since that time, International Women’s Day has been celebrated around the globe.
The Portland event features female entertainers, women owned and/or operated businesses, and organizations that focus on women within our community and globally. It also showcases poetry and writing, health issues, and educational workshops designed by women for women. Our volunteer organization is committed to going beyond cultural barriers and prejudices to provide a place to share women's achievements as individuals, communities, and institutions. We are proud to present Portland’s 33rd Annual International Women’s Day Celebration in honor of women making a difference in the quality of life of women. "

If your vagina could speak, what would it say?

Let me back up a minute here. So, on Valentine’s Day my mother, my roommate and I got together to grab a bite to eat and then to see PSU's production of the Vagina Monologues. Unfortunately when we got there it was standing room only. We rescheduled for Friday and began to leave. As girls often do, we decided first, however, to stop by the ladies room. There we all were in our separate stalls when I decided to pose the question above to Michelle and my mom.
"Ladies, I have a very important question to ask you. If your vagina could speak what would it say?"
"Feed me!" my mom laughed.
"I know what mine would say," I replied. "It would say, 'I need a haircut.'"
Stifled giggles.
"My vagina would say that it's single handedly bringing back the 70's. My vagina is doing the Farrah Fawcett."
Complete and utter dead silence.
Thinking that I must be having an off night I brushed it off, wiped, buckled my pants, flushed and began washing my hands. It was just then that out of stall number three walked a woman who lets just say was neither Michelle nor my mom! I about died.
Fortunately worse things have happened and my ego is still intact, but just wait; it gets better. On our way home we were still laughing about how embarrassing it was with my mom adding hilariously that her vagina hair is so long that she has to blow dry it. I then started to muse over how funny it was that Michelle was so silent the whole time. "Were we embarrassing you, Michelle?"
"Well, I don't know. I was just wondering when you ever had the chance to see Farrah Fawcett's vagina hair."
She was dead serious.

The Vagina Monologues Inspire Portland

Friday night I gathered some friends and headed down to PSU for the second night’s performance of the Vagina Monologues. When we arrived on the third floor of Smith Memorial we were greeted with positive, welcoming vibes. Smiling people lined the way to the entrance creating a funnel into the ballroom where we connected with all the other vagina celebrators. Volunteers and tablers were helpful, directive and very knowledgeable. My friends and I felt well received.
