Bluebeard

After recently reading Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber, I stumbled across this! If you haven't read The Bloody Chamber, you should, it's wonderful. The short story is a feminist retelling of Charles Perrault's Bluebeard.

Personalized Lipstick

I found a great blog site that discusses all kinds of issues regarding menstruation. The site re: Cycling. led me to an art project of interest. The art piece entitled Red is the Colour, by Ingrid Berthon-moine, 2009, features different women wearing their own menstrual blood as lipstick.

Lost in Utero

I watched the short film The Big Empty starring Selma Blair. The story features Alice, a young woman with an ‘inner ache’ coming from her vagina. In search of a cure for the ache, she goes from gynecologist to gynecologist with no luck... until she meets the Specialist.

In the story, Alice’s vagina/uterus is perceived as an icy tundra where no one can live and nothing can grow. I’m curious to see how others have interpreted this, as I have a few ideas of my own.

Read the original story The Specialist by Alison Smith here. aaannnd watch the 2005 movie adaptation.

look what came in the mail today (no, that's not a euphemism)

I will be posting a review early next week!
