Embracing V-Day...
I'm a big proponent of "firsts". When I learned about a production of The Vagina Monologues coming to Lake Tahoe, I signed Steve and myself up to volunteer, not fully understanding what it was truly about but knowing that it was a benefit for women.
V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation, and sex slavery.
Performances of the Monologues have been a big part of fundraising efforts for V-Day and seeing the sold out performances, two nights in a row, several support organizations in our community are going to benefit greatly.
Both of us thought the evening was very well done and extremely eye-opening. Some of the subject matter was extremely difficult to hear My Vagina Was My Village, while others made us laugh out loud, My Angry Vagina. I think, for me, hearing the word vagina so openly discussed was the most unique part of the evening. Definitely a first!

So what you are saying is that you are a virgin to hearing vagina so openly? Interesting...
I would like to hear more about the production!
