Believe it or not, I’m not the world’s only mouthy vagina (sorry for the pun). Earlier this week, Planned Parenthood co-sponsored a Rock the Vote fundraiser featuring Eve Ensler of V-day fame, who rallied her audience to get their vaginas out of their thongs and into the polling booths. Because young women have been targeted as a potential swing vote in the presidential election, everyone’s after a little bit of pussy power. Since I don’t take myself too seriously, I appreciated this hilariously cynical send-up of the event, but I also recognize a media angle when I see one. If my vulva blog rants inspire even one person to get out and vote, I’d consider it a good day’s work! So go Eve go. After all, Eve’s world-renowned Vagina Monologues paved the way for singer Vanessa Carlton to preface her performance with the comment, ”This is the most vaginal evening I’ve ever been to! I’m proud to have one!”

I wish I’d been there to lend my vulva support to the event, but I’m rocking the vote, West-Coast style. Check out Toys in Babeland’s Sex Acts for a recounting of President Bush’s dismal record on issues close to my heart: reproductive rights, queer rights, and women’s rights. And then I’ll help you register to vote!
