In Case Your Labia Were Wondering…

Posted by BeckySharper in Harpy Shout-out on Jan 18, 2010, 10:23am | 7 comments

Did you read my rant about “My New Pink Button”?  Did you think: Yeah, yeah, Becky, that was bitchy, but totally uninformative? Did you, like me, secretly wonder: What does that stuff actually do to a poor, unsuspecting vulva? Well, thanks to Amanda Marcotte for alerting me to a brave blogger who actually test-drove it, and reports her results.

I’m sending a big Harpy shout-out to Renee, too, for eloquently having her say about this crap over on Womanist Musings.

    I love Amanda, my new queen of the turn of phrase. “Baby cannon” and “Barbie blow” are two of my favorites. Can’t belive how completely shite the product is! Not only is it offensive but to add insult to injury for the poor people who do buy it it doesn’t bloody work!

    @peener: And it BURNS. Anything that causes burning down there should be banned for all eternity, IMO.

    Oh yes. That is a place you never ever want to feel the burn. Never. Inspired an involuntary leg cross, that did…

    That is one brave woman, is all I can say.

    Hey there, this is actually SJ of I, Asshole, not Amanda.

    Lauren, I said it was Amanda who alerted me to SJ’s post–when she tweeted the link–not Amanda who actually tested the stuff.
