To think "vaginal knitting" is just odd?

[coffeeisnectar]

This came up on my fb newsfeed so apologies for the daily mail link.

Now I don't agree with the "let's bully her on Facebook" comment in the article or threats of violence but if you are going to sit in a room for a month knitting the world's longest scarf out of wool which you store in your fanjo then you should appreciate that not everyone is going to say "oh yes, such a statement on feminism!" Or wow! So artistic!

Because this is, quite frankly, odd. And if she was a friend of mine I'd tell her that. And I'd never want a scarf she had knitted either.

On the plus side, if she ever has a baby, it will be born fully dressed.

Greatthat, I was thinking exactly the same thing about the toxic shock syndrome x

I'm thinking of taking up macramé and stowing the sisal up by bum hole.
Am I an attention seeker?

I actually really like the scarf and the blood pattern. It doesn't look like it's been made to wear, but as art.

I am worried about the itchy and fluff-shedding wool and also, how much can she stack up there? Surely not much at a time. It must be a right palaver poking it in and hoiking it out all day long.

I actually think baiting trolls and using what they say in your art has some mileage and could be done really well.

I find it oddly interesting.

However, I did give a little snort when I read this in the OP...

I wondered if it smelt different on different days, which is most probably wrong on so many levels

Words fail me. Completely batshit.

Exactly Punkrocker.

I'm trying to be cool about this. I'm trying to get on board with the 'she's an artist' vibe, I'm no stranger to the Tate Modern myself.

But if I'm brutally honest, I think it's message-less, attention seeking and slightly unpleasant. Possibly worse, it detracts from some really challenging, talented and creative artists. Even worserer, it makes people go 'modern art is indulgent meaningless shit' all over again.

Anyway. That's enough for now. This yak's wool throw isn't going to anus-crochet itself.

I remember reading about this and thinking I hope her and the 'vomit art' people never meet, bad, bad collaboration.

I like the scarf and the blood pattern too.
But the main reason I gave up wearing tampons was seeing a picture in a magazine of all the liitle bits that get left behind inside you - the wool in her vag makes me think of that.
She might want to be careful of TSS too.

I have one word for you: cystitis

Anus crochet is probably preferable unless you suffer with anal leakage. It may cause trapped wind.

Blimey, how does she get it up there? I can barely manage to stash my menstrual sponge in those quarters

She must have a 'flange like a wellie top' as my friend used to say

The menstrual scarf looks really tame now I'm involuntarily thinking about an anal leakage scarf :o

If you found out Jackson Pollock had really made his paintings by blowing paint out of his bumhole, would you be equally disgusted?

Like Monet thanks for that nugget

Or a "wizard's sleeve", hidden :o

'Wizard's sleeve', yes lol

I think the hacking of a knitting machine was quite clever. The massive infection risk, not so much. Could she not just have transposed the idea of the 'weather blanket' to this instead? Vaginal discharge blanket. Stick that on Pinterest.

I can't help but wonder what she would do if she dropped a few stitches.

On a practical note, how does she get the wool to unwind? When the ball of wool unravels it needs to move to let the yarn unwind. If it's in an enclosed space how does it do that?
I do like abit of crochet, not anus crochet though!
The menstrual blood is blergh.

I am seriously considering making artisan cheese in my fanjo. I think there might be a market for such delicacies.
I shall endeavour to wear bacteria promoting underwear and languish myself in some arty farty foodie emporium in Muswell Hill.
Customers will be provided with organic wooden spoons from which they will harvest such delights for their delectation.

Somebody, somewhere, will probably pay a fortune for it.

No, an artist

It doesn't sound very hygienic or safe. But isn't art meant to be about drawing attention to your art?

In terms of all the abuse she has got I can't help thinking other women should simply say - So what. Why isn't the story why can't men stop being threatening to women.

Plenty of men light their farts, expose their arses and do I now not what else!

So what as in so what if she is doing this! She should not get abuse.
