" I (HEART) My Vagina." 
High school students fight to wear vagina buttons :
Students at Winona Senior High School in Minnesota are fighting for their right to wear souvenir buttons from TheVagina Monologues emblazoned with "I (HEART) My Vagina." The principal believes the buttons are against school policy.

From the Winona Daily News:
A month after she began donning the button, (Carrie) Rethlefsen was told to take it off. But Rethlefsen considers the button a matter of free speech. "I think you need to be bold for things to change," she said. "I'm wearing this to support sexual awareness, gender equality, women's rights and freedom of speech."
While Rethlefsen views the button simply as having a pro-woman message, (principal Nancy) Wondrasch said others could have other interpretations.
"I believe in freedom of speech, and I believe in women's rights," Wondrasch said. "But I also believe this could be construed as offensive or harassment."
The principal said some staff view the button as offensive, but not because they are ashamed of talking about vaginas. One female employee told her she doesn't want women being heralded for their sexual parts, but their strong mind and good hearts.
Too many women are ashamed to talk about their sexuality, Rethlefsen said.
I watched the stage play before last year. The Vagina Monologues wasn't a big hit in Malaysia. Only social activists and the women rights council supported them. On the day it was stage in Bangsar few groups of people went to watch it, I went cause I was under this "No Apologies" campaign. Oh yeah, we were told to join this "Abstinence from Sex before marriage" program, since we were in a girl's school, they treated us like some bunch of naive girls who werent exposed to the guys out there. Like we don't know what to do if a guy invited us to his crib. It was compulsary for us to join, especially the ones in Form 4 and Form 5 or what we call the Seniors.
I remembered the program it was fun. Yeah at the end of the session we were told to sign the pledge card, which says "I'll stay away from sex before marriage, and be faithful..." yada yada yada..you know what I mean. My ex boyfriend thinks that the whole pledge card thing is funny, and everytime he see me he would be asking "Still have the pledge card with you?" We have to sign it with a witness as for my case, my best friend was my witness and vice versa. The reason most of us signed the pledge card was because it is a very nice card, black colour with red bloody eerie fonts saying "No Apologies"..but I wonder who really stick to the pledge..lol..
I saw the news about "High School Student fights To Wear Vagina Buttons" from a daily news site, and when I read the line "I'm wearing this to support sexual awareness, gender equality, women's rights and freedom of speech." recalls back memories about the whole sexual awareness campaign in my school.
It intrigues me to look up on it after I had my late night shower. So there's this official site for this whole "Vagina Monologues" program and I browsed through it.

As usual it provides articles and informations on this whole sex thing. But the only main attraction to me was the song about "if you lost" your virginity. Hearing it once already creeps the hell out of me from having my future sexual intercourse. If only I could get the lyrics, and post it up. I've search for it but couldnt find the exact lyrics I wanted. I'll work on that...for now just listen to the song. The title is Broken by Betty. Betty is some 3 piece band, their songs were mostly on women...innocence....yada yada you name it.

But after hearing it twice it's such a turn on actually, intrigues your mind on "oh yeah thats what happen if you do it now". Err kids don't try this at home, haha...I'm old enough so sue me ! I'm joking allright, turning 18 this coming June.
I came across their V-Day Store .. http://www.store-vday.org/ . Again this site fascinated me with their merchandise. I was hoping to find that " I (HEART) My Vagina "..souvenir button, that would be cool, and get couple of them and start pinning them on my top at both of my nipples or maybe at the zip of my pants and make the headline of your local newspaper....hahaha..
Oh god..if my boyfriend, Bakry ever wear this..I'll be laughing till I don't know when...and sheesh...I actually had fun writing this out...Oh well my fellow readers..I have to go now. Toodles.
I definitely (HEART) my vagina,
