She Would Have Photographed It

She'd probably have used it as paint.

Has anyone ever lost one? You know......up there.

LOL, no...when I was bleeding at my worst, I'd stick one up there, and it would fasll out in minutes, too heavy full to stay contained.

That Was What The Bottle Was For...She Was Gonna Paint With It, But Didn't;(

But That Spectacle, She Would Have Photographed

this truly belongs here...

I read this in the "over heard in New York" blog and laughed hard!

Blood center rep: Ma'am, would you like to donate blood today and save a life?
Woman: No, I'm donating into my maxi-pad as we speak.
Blood center rep: Ewww.

Ah yes, the great equalizer. You can go up to almost any womam of child bearing age, any ethnicity, social status or religion, whisper a refrence to menstruation and they get it.

Some pagans use collected blood in rituals. I rather like your art idea. Very creative.

I had a hysterectomy some time ago and do not bleed anymore but miss it at times. I found it very cleansing and I had a desire to "nest".

One of the funniest things I ever heard was "No shit men fear women. They can bleed for seven days and not die." It only makes sense that many cultures make this an "unclean" time for women. It reduces their power. Put them in a hut where they can be away from the others.

Frankly, I think the idea of women's space at that time is a good idea. Heck, it would be a great time to catch up on the gossip, you feel like shit anyway and wouldn't have to keep up with your daily routine, (no work, kids, husband - a monthly mini vacation), it would give you a time, place and reason to meditate and be introspective and think of the strength of the bonds that could happen. A week long girls night out.

Drugs and elixers to ease the cramps would be a must. Add a hot tub, hair and nail care products in abundance, massage tables, heating pads, good music, a library, net access and beds with a hundred pillows. Unlimited chocolate access...gee I may have to write a grant and see if I can get this thing rolling. LOL

Thanks, this was fun. Hope you are feeling better soon. Submit your art.

I am really liking this idea.

Hm. I just noticed something.

I think my lips (face lips) swell during my cycle. I hate to compare it to a baboon ass, but I will, because I think that's what's happening here.

My lips get sensitive and chapped and I'm using an electric toothbrush to polish them up because otherwise my lipstick just forms into flakes.

Anyway. Weird observation.

Anyone else have to brush their lips?

This is an actual letter sent to Proctor and Gamble from Wendi Aarons, Austin, TX, regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph...



Dear Mr. Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your Always Maxi Pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the Leak GuardCore(tm) or Dri-Weave(tm) absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.



Have you ever had a period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from 'the curse'? I'm guessing you haven't.

Well, my 'time of the month' is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.'

As Brand Manager in the Feminine-hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers' monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women.

The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... which brings me to the reason for my letter.

Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.'

Are you f*@#king kidding me? Does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness is possible during a period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Kmart armed with a hunting rifle and a sketch y plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.

For the love of God, if you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put Down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter Is Wrong', or are you just picking on us?

Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bull sh*t. And that's a promise I will keep. Always.



Best,
