V-Day

Ok, so this is sort of a shameless, plug, but whatever. My sister is in the Vagina Monologues at Georgetown University Law Center, so my friend Tenisha and I went to see her. I had only seen the HBO broadcast with Eve Ensler, and Neesh had never seen it, and we really enjoyed ourselves! Each monologue was so moving, we forgot that all of the cast were just Georgetown Law students. It was a true testament to the quality of Eve Ensler's work, as well as to the hard work of the Georgetown Law women.

So, if you're in the DC area, and you've nothing better to do tonight or tomorrow night (and honestly, if you read this, you probably don't), you should check it out! There are snacks (!!!), including these cute little chocolate "Pussy Pops" that are shaped like vaginas. And the best part? All of the shows proceeds go to the V-Day 2008 Worldwide Campaign to end violence against women worldwide.

A caveat: they say "vagina" so much that you eventually get used to it, but it can be kind of jarring for the first 15 minutes. I suggest writing "vagina" on a sheet of paper 100 times as preparation. Or maybe using "my vagina" in place of "I" in sentences. Example: My friend wanted to go get pedicures today, but my vagina just didn't have the time.
