Bedazzling down under

There’s been a recent wave of blog posts dedicated to the new black of vagina grooming (here and here and this one is hilarious).  That is: Vajazzling.  Otherwise known as bedazzling your private bits, as brought to the wider global audience thanks to Jennifer Love Hewitt.   So I thought I would join the bandwagon.

I initially posted a little status update and link on my FB page earlier this week, I won't link that here as it's a little inappropriate and might attract the wrong kind of audience.  Needless to say there was a huge response in the comments section.  The whole idea really captured the collective imagination.

My errant husband returns from an epic 6 week trip abroad tomorrow.  He hasn’t seen a vajajay in a while.  I am not sure he could care less about the vajazzle, and quite frankly I doubt he’d even notice in the initial frenzy that possesses a deprived man.  That’s not to say I didn’t prepare myself to a suitably presentable standard.  It’s the least I could do.

But when a friend mentioned he’d been ‘Pejazzling’ for some time now I began to question just how far I’d slipped off the fashion radar.  I spotted my daughters jar of craft jewels and a stick of UHU and considered the possibilities. 

In searching around on google, it's amazing what you can discover.  And although I took the 'pejazzle' comment with a grain of salt, I did actually come across a rather disturbing image and the insightful information that it's set to be the European summer's biggest trend.  

So guys, if you are keen to add a bit of swarovski brilliance to your sword, game is on!   It's like the stuff of fairy tales.  The story of the Knight in shining armour and his jewel encrusted sword.  He is the envy of all the land.  The combination of his talented swordsmanship and magical tool leave all that encounter his brilliance quivering in anticipation and awe.  It's the stuff dreams are made of.

But until now it seems us ladies have been the only ones putting ourselves under enormous pressure and physical pain to keep our landscape design up with the latest trends.

One of my favourite photographers Rankin, who is way ahead of his time and also loves a good vagina shot, may have hit on a more achievable home style vajazzle experience.  Let's call it the vajsprinkle.  

Easy to achieve with a few commonly found household products.  Best of all it's totally edible.  That's got to add a little more spice than a couple of fake diamonds.  It also removes the need for all those pesky questions about what happens when the hair starts sprouting again or if the guys hair gets all tangled up around the crystals.

So if you are seeking a new experience look no further than the baking section of your local supermarket and get vajsprinkling today!

New Beginnings

Not ever having been a fan of Valentine's Day I am a little reticent to make a VD posting (unfortunate abbreviation for a day about making love).

Reminds me of a story I once heard about Victoria and David Beckham.  Someone I knew once was a guest of theirs and had been flown in to their UK estate by helicopter.  Upon his arrival he noticed two neon signs.  One with the initial V and the other with the initial D.  I don't think anyone had ever bothered to point out the embarrassing coincidence.  Perhaps a neon heart would have been a better welcome to Beckingham Palace.

And talking about V& D Beckham it brings me to the theme of the post: BLING.  A fitting theme for Valentine's Day and a link up with  Gifts of Serendipity's Bling On Love.

Today my husband leaves for Sri Lanka.  He'll be gone six weeks for the World Cup Cricket.  I feel like I am standing at the base of an all too familiar mountain.  One that I have climbed too many times this past year and I really just can't muster the energy to do it again.  I am emotionally lethargic just thinking about it.  But I hope it's the final hurdle before we make some changes.

The upside of trips to Sri Lanka are the jewels and I have received a few over the years.  My most prized being this aquamarine.

The Lichtenstein in the background speaks volumes about my emotional state during the absences.

It seems Ceylon jewels have featured a bit in my family history.  My Grandmother had a gorgeous Alexandrite which I never actually saw, but it's a family legend.  She left it in a hotel room drawer.  Maybe it looked something like this.

My Father's step Mother had this beautiful aqua ring made in Ceylon.  It now belongs to my cousin.  I think the rose gold suits this greeny aqua beautifully.

Anyhow this trip I haven't requested jewels but rather a re-setting of my engagement diamond.  We recently celebrated 10 years.  The last few have been a tough and testing time.  But we made it.  As a symbol for our new beginnings I wanted a whole new ring.  In using the same diamond and some of the original gold I hope that this translates as respect for our past and all that we have learnt.

This is how I hope it will look. (Although my diamond is never going to look that big!)

Happy VD!
