Vagina Monologues

[Shankara20]

It has been over 11 years now that Eve Ensler performed the first Vagina Monologues. I have know about the performance art work for many years but never made the effort to see it performed. With my new job it dawned on me that I could benefit by at least having the references so I had Netflix add it to my queue - it showed up and I have just finished it.

Some of it challenged me - made me angry, some bored me, some was funny, some sad and some down right hot.

At this moment I am feeling it as more of a middle aged audience break-through-sexual-repression-to-liberation sorta work, but that may change as I mull it over.

Anyone else have any thought / feelings about it?

I've never seen it, and I didn't know that it was available on DVD. Now that I do, I'll have to put it on my list of must-see movies.

I haven't seen it darlink, I am however pretty up on Annie Sprinkles. Annie is da bomb.

No Netflix for Rebecca, I don't even have cable : depraved & deprived :

There is a thread floating around here predominantly pictorial, that might add to the topic. Sadly I cun't remember the title.

My college puts on the performance every year. I love it and its very popular. The shirts for it go like crazy. Plus a part of the funds raised goes to local charities for stopping violence against women.

I saw a college production of it some 2 or 3 years ago, and like you, Shank, it produced a wide variety of emotions throughout the show.

The music used in the production I saw (I don't know if it's the same for each one) had me singing, which left me with an overall good feeling about it.

I'd love to see it again

My sister and I went to see it in London a few years ago.

We both loved it, we laughed, cried and squirmed in our seats.

There were a few men there but very few.

I loved that they spoke of re-claiming the word 'cunt' back as a female word. I have used it for many years, but it was great to here a whole audience say it out loud.

If the opportunity arose I would go and see it again.

I saw the DVD a couple of weeks ago, as part of an intro to women's studies course.

It was alright. There were some parts I thought were hilarious, some that made me think, and some that I thought were just wrong.

I loathed the "cunt" monologue. Not only because I personally don't like the word, the piece itself was just seriously annoying.
