Amazing.\\&#8221;  Heh, who knew.\u00a0 I love how I can say things like that to my boss.<\/p>\n<p>So I\\&#8217;m going, even though I feel like a <span style=\\\"text-decoration: line-through;\\\">cow<\/span> I mean <span style=\\\"text-decoration: line-through;\\\">beached  whale<\/span>, lets just say UN-attractive OK?\u00a0 After I shower, lets  hope I don\\&#8217;t give myself razor burn or slice up my labia.\u00a0 They need  Nair for this sort of thing (perhaps they already do?)\u00a0 I\\&#8217;ll finish this  when I get back from work tonight.\u00a0 Which is where I\\&#8217;m headed after  this shoot.\u00a0 When I really wish someone would shoot me in the head,  instead of my vag with a camera.\u00a0 In other news, my eyelashes look  awesome right now!\u00a0 Oh &amp; I bought glasses today!\u00a0 Yay for free frame  promotions (retail $269.00) my lenses weren\\&#8217;t that much.\u00a0 Thankfully my  insurance covers most of it.\u00a0 The frames are awesome!\u00a0 Was going to get black ones, they looked good  but a little too severe on my <span style=\\\"text-decoration: line-through;\\\">pasty<\/span> pale face.\u00a0 So I  went with the same one\\&#8217;s only in a toned down antique silver.\u00a0 Darren  was right, I totally rock the librarian look, you know the sexy one \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>So  work was a snooze fest&#8230;\u00a0 Got invited to a party tonight but I switched shifts  (not closing anymore!) and I feel like ass &amp; far from social so I\\&#8217;m  going to bed soon instead.\u00a0 Anyway back to my vagina&#8230;\u00a0 Which is exceptionally photogenic by the way.\u00a0 All went well, wasn\\&#8217;t entirely sure how I felt about doing this overall however when your comfortable enough to sit there with no pants on then I\\&#8217;m thinking your good right?\u00a0 Totally not creepy at all, which is obviously a GOOD thing.\u00a0 We also discussed future endeavors, I\\&#8217;m excited about that.\u00a0 I really like his work, which for me is rather strange.\u00a0 After all you will always be your own worst critic yet I liked all of them but I obviously <em>loved<\/em> some of them.\u00a0 There wasn\\&#8217;t one on my don\\&#8217;t you dare show that to anyone list, insanity I know right!?!\u00a0 Seriously though, was great working with him and given the opportunity I would do so again.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough we were talking about some of the people he\\&#8217;s worked with &amp; just how emotional this was for some of these women and you know at first I didn\\&#8217;t totally put two &amp; two together.\u00a0 Granted I myself had a very personal set of reasons for doing this, which I will save for another day.\u00a0 Mostly because that\\&#8217;s one demon that I\\&#8217;m not quite ready to talk about yet.\u00a0 There were others as well, only one of which I will freely speak of. \u00a0 Then all of a sudden, I <em>got<\/em> it.\u00a0 A lot of these woman were abused in some form or another, much like myself.\u00a0 Domestic violence is extremely hard to comprehend unless you\\&#8217;ve actually been there.\u00a0 Its easy to be on the outside looking in and say WTF? Why don\\&#8217;t you just walk away?\u00a0 Its really not that simple.\u00a0 I will however save that for another day.\u00a0 Anyway for me after I left him, it was my tattoos that helped me feel like I had my life back, that I had gained control of my own mind\/body &amp; soul.\u00a0 I and I alone had control and there was nothing that he could said or do as I was on the path of self reclamation.\u00a0 For them and perhaps for me as well, it was doing something that you wanted to do, that you felt you could do because its yours to do with.\u00a0 After all IMHO that is the most intimate place on a woman\\&#8217;s body, therefore its sacred.\u00a0 Allowing a complete stranger to photograph it &amp; publish it is pretty huge.\u00a0 There are no words that can describe the enormity of what that can mean to some people.<\/p>\n<p>Its amazing and incredible yet totally understood by me how something seemingly so simple can be so profound.\u00a0 It is art, its tastefully done and a really unique project in and of itself.\u00a0 Giving a woman a piece of herself \/life back, is a beautiful thing.\u00a0 You can\\&#8217;t put a price on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NO really, I am writing a blog post about my vag &amp; other things I got sidetracked in places OK?
