From I Advocate Feminism:
“The Great Wall of Vagina:” A study of human individuality
The “Great Wall” is the work of plaster caster/artist Jamie McCartney. McCartney owns Brighton Body Casting, a company/studio he opened to offer casting services to the public as a unique form of portraiture. He also casts faces, torsos, etc. in a variety of materials.
The project took five years and hundreds of volunteers — about half from the Brighton area — to complete. Subjects included mothers and daughters, twins and transsexuals. They youngest models were 18, the oldest was 76.
The entire projects consists of 400 casts arranged into 40 panels. In its entirety, the wall measures nine meters — that’s about 29.5 feet — in length.
On his website, McCarntey says the sculpture is ” … in no way pornographic, as it might have been if photographs had been used. One is able to stare without shame but in wonder and amazement at this exposé of human variety.”
Technically, those are vulvae, or pudenda femininum.
But wait! There’s more!:
The “introductory price” for a vagina casting kit is the equivalent of approximately $64, plus shipping.
There are only 32 shopping days left until Christmas.
Can you imagine an NEA grant application for this project?
Appalling isn’t it that a blog that “advocates feminism” did not bother to point out the incorrect naming of the body parts.
I just can not imagine. Plaster cast? Wax? {shudder} Would this involve shaving ahead or is that part of the “service”?
THIS!
Using the word “vagina” as a catch-all is seriously pissing me off.
PS — I stole & posted your comment over there (not that I imagine a lot of people will see it).
More coffee.
so these are the “vagina voters” we women are accused of being? I want to see a wall of penises!!!!
All in service of their art……
It’s too early to drink.
Don’t blaspheme in here.
LOL. Sorry Klown.
Oh, I may sound prudish, but I prefer dancing vaginas and penises 😛
Thanks! I LOVE watching the Step Dancing!
Ewwww! Why don’t I feel liberated?!
Speaking of Dirty Jobs, this guy just got canceled:

8 years is a good run though I never watched, but I do know it was a top rated show for the Discovery Channel. Could be the host was a Romney supporter ? At least that’s what’s speculated in the link’s comments.
That was a very popular show! I speculate that it had something to do with politics, too.
Clown dies in front of crowd at Macy’s Day Parade. Just Sayin…. 🙂
That’s not funny! Okay, it kind of is 🙂
That’s not a bad way to go, however. They guy died making people happy and doing something he loved. Maybe there’s a special place in heaven for clowns.
For sure. 🙂
Hey–I recognize that one second panel, third row, fourth one from the left!
hahaha–a few looked familiar to me, if I’m honest.
I just finished rereading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
we have become a nation of second handers.
Just look at the slop being praised today.
this place is one of the last holdouts against the second handers
