    It's all fun and games and fighting the power and such until a "supressed" male decides that erections need to be made public.

    In the "Vanity Fair" article a couple of months back, they mentioned how they can't just use any fruit for props, because fruit back then was much smaller and less "perfect." I love the show's attention to that kind of detail.

    The vintage money reminded me of the day I tried to pay a parking attendant with a $5 bill from the 50's (it was my friend's). She flat-out refused because it lacked the security features of today's money. My friend was horrified. Now I need to tell her that she can sell it for more than face value!

    She probably spent it, though. Meh.

    My mom has her Chatty Kathy doll from when she was a kid and I know I have some stuff I bought at vintage stores or got from my grandma. I may even have some old envelopes, but I don't think the letters are in them. Hmmmm....

    In Lexington, Ky., of all places, we have this fabulous vintage store chock full of 60s stuff (particularly kitchenware, signage and purses). Maybe I could entice the Mad Men set designers to visit me...and bring Jon Hamm wit them.

    The print spread (I have a sub to EW through infinity) made me drool. I would buy AND wear lipstick if I could get it in such glam packaging. I love me some prop porn.

    Just heard about this yesterday: The museum of menstruation.

    The website's a mess, but I can imagine the new museum turning out pretty awesome.

    Look, if a man decides that blowing a load on a newspaper page is art, and New York City believes him, then this is art. It's making me think, and I love the way the artist brought beauty and consumerism issues into it too.

    This reminds me a bit of Steinem's "If Men Could Menstruate," one of my favorite of her essays. At one point, she says that if men got periods, women would be encouraged to see their blood as sexy. I see this as a remark on the culture of jizz. I've said a million times I don't like for the stuff (straight into a Kleenex, thanks!), but if you're willing to taste that and not your own fluids... well, that's an interesting double standard, huh?

    @JerseyGrrrl: That's my thought, too. I mean, I try not to be squeamish about anything having to do with my body, my lover's body, etc. I've tasted my own menstrual blood, my own lubrication, his sweat, semen....

    Reading all the comments, though, it appears that I am a weirdo, or at least an outlier.

    @portia_sue: I've accidentally tasted mine during sex too. It was sweet. I don't know if I would willingly do it again, but I wasn't grossed out by the blood when I realized it after the fact. Its just another bodily fluid.

    Am I the only one whose read Microserfs by Douglas Coupland? A segment in which the women in the office talk about periods and you also see the IMs between the men in the office during the conversation, is one of the funniest things I have ever read.

    @embarcadero13: You think encouraging women not to feel shame for something their bodies do naturally and encouraging them to demand better and more environmentally friendly care for that natural process gives feminism a bad name?? I don't follow that.

    Urban Decay has got to take that color and name for a new lipstick:
    "Menarchy".
    THEN it may get put on my lips!
