The 45-second Pussy Monologue
One of the happy things associated with Valentine’s Day is The Vagina Monologues.* [see an excerpt here] At universities all across the country at this time of year, girls put on this performance written by Eve Ensler. It’s fun, enlightening, sad, and funny as hell. I saw it nearly every year I was at college because it was so different, so electrifying from year to year, even though the monologues stayed the same. Years ago I had the honor of meeting Eve Ensler, and I was delighted to see that she was very much the sparkplug I had imagined.
So instead of harping on Valentine’s Day or going on about the glory of National Singles Awareness Day, I’m going to pay tribute to The Vagina Monologues with my very own Pussy Monologue.** My pussy definitely has a voice, and she speaketh with great authority and ferocity.
