If you have it, say it.
Vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina.
Over half the people on earth have one; without it the world wouldn’t be peopled.
And if you don’t want to say it, don’t agree to appear in The Vagina Monologues and then hijack the show with your complex about it. Stay at home, you’re allowed.
Reader V for Vendetta sent in this report.
Kuh Ledesma was the one and only sour note, a major one, in last night’s Vagina Monologues.
All the other performers (all-star cast) who were to deliver monologues, including some members of a singing group, sat onstage facing the audience. She came onstage from the right side and launched into a spiel about not being able to say the V word, how she has dissociated her upper body from her V in the lower region, how she really cannot do what the other women onstage were doing, how she has found peace and love in Jesus, and then did her song (The Rose, original by Bette Midler).
What she did was totally against the spirit of the show. The performers sitting onstage were in disbelief over what she said. She should have been booed offstage. Wish the audience weren’t so polite. If she really felt that way, she should have just declined to perform in this show rather than be offensive. She was really one obnoxious, nauseating, noxious act. She represents the repressive and vicious mindset from the Dark Ages that V-day needs to address and overcome even in this modern age.
On a happier note, standout performers were Aiza Seguerra, Mads Nicholas, Sheila Francisco and Mae Paner. Aiza was fantastic!!! Mads was magnificent!!!

Here’s an Orangina commercial that was pulled from French TV in 2010 (French TV? Where the yogurt ads feature nudity??). Is the ad promoting homosexuality or zoophilia? Or is it a pussy joke that didn’t work?

Hey Jesus came out from a ‘Virgin Vagina”! Does she pee through her nose now?

Oh. my.
I remember seeing the cast list and thinking, “WTF is Kuh Ledesma doing here? Didn’t she just Give Her Entire Life To Jesus a long time ago?”
Don’t get me wrong. I still go to church every Sunday; I haven’t lost (all of) my faith. But this is one of those moments where I feel like running around to tell people that we’re not this obnoxious all the time. And that some of us – yes, even the faithful among us – still have healthy, non-dissociative relationships with our sexual organs.

Dear Stella: “Vaginas,” dear. “Vaginas. Non-dissociative relationships with our vaginas.” Paki-correct yung last line na iyan. Love, ang iyong konsensiya.

watched it as well and i heard that kuh ledesma was just supposed to sing, and not share anything personal about herself.
She was absolutely annoying.

Couldn’t she be sued by the producers or something?

these Orangina ads always cracks up my french housemate. and when it didn’t do the same thing to me the first time i saw one, he looked at me as if i’m somebody totally devoid of any semblance of sense of humor, and launched into a full lecture about the American influence on Filipinos’ sense of humor and intellect, puritanism, etc.
kinda funny because i’m more addicted to Orangina than he is, even if the commercials do not appeal to my sense of humor as much as to the french’s.
but what i like about french TV is the total absense of censorship on nudity, sex, and cuss words. it might be a good idea for Kuh Ledesma to live in France for a while. :)

How does one even dissociate the upper body from the lower body? Ano siya, manananggal?

Kurak! Nahahati sa dalawa, tapos pag babalik na sa katawan kakanta ng “Dito Ba?”
