I know, I know, I hate the freaking Vagina Monologues, but zorah's come up with a brilliant way around her lawskool's prohibition against selling tickets - she'll give them away (with your help). So if you've got eight bucks and want to flout the system and give a little to countercrisis, read the post.

I mean, you don't have to actually watch the show, and you'll be supporting its one really good purpose - uniting a community of women. It's a good thing, really.

you rock. I was so afraid I was being a cantankerous fringe element by admitting to the "hey, you don't actually have to watch the show!" aspect of this fundraiser. :-)

well, at least we can be cantankerous and fringed together. and i do support people DOING the show, i just don't want to watch it. ;)

[peregrin8.livejournal.com]

exactly! :-)

hee hee hee!

I have never actually SEEN the VM's, but I am doing two momologues myself this year. Hey! We have a transgendered piece this year, I hear that was a serious problem in the past.

I know y'all would come see ME.

[keryx.livejournal.com]

Of course we'd come see YOU if we could. That's a whole nother thing.

[peregrin8.livejournal.com]

honey, for you we would throw our panties up on stage!

[keryx.livejournal.com]

speaky for yourself. i'm rather attached to my panties. but i'd happily throw YOUR panties on stage, since you're ready to part with them and all.

[although, i'm just a little concerned that this is going to kick off some huge snail-mailing-panties project. ;)]

also, i don't know WHAT's going on with "speaky for yourself".

[peregrin8.livejournal.com]

OK, you're really going to make coffee come out my nose.

[peregrin8.livejournal.com]

hee hee! I could bring you some to throw. Although if you're actually attached to yours, may I recommend a warm sitz bath? ;-p

[keryx.livejournal.com]

what's a sitz bath? and of course my attachment is more emotional/financial than physical, silly.

i've always thought thrift stores should accept more (clean, obviously) used undies. then you could get like 10 pair for a buck and keep them to throw when required.

[peregrin8.livejournal.com]

They could package them specifically for throwing, and thus get around Board of Health violation issues. Though I still worry that they would be purchased by scary old men instead....

[keryx.livejournal.com]

yeah, you could sew up all the holes in a way that made them unwearable if re-opened.

but yes, the scariness quotient is still high. very high.

I saw a kick-ass staging of it a couple of years ago, directed by a lesbian, and which included a monologue written by a transwoman who performed it herself. It was otherwised performed by several very diverse college students, to a crowd that completely filled the room, and the atmosphere was generally fantastic that evening. It's one of my best memories from my time at that college.
