Gorgeous Little Things: The Vag Badge

If there’s anything nicer than a little jewelry in your box it’s a little box in your jewelry.
       My friend Shannon passed on this adorable little item she found on Etsy, a website featuring all handmade items and I thought it was the cutest thing I’d seen since this whistling puppy . It’s the Vag Badge made from Sculpey by FancyFemme who invites us to wear your genitals on your sleeve .” 
        What I like most about the vag badge first and foremost is the coloring. You’d expect pinks and fleshtones but the yellow and peach have a soft, serene quality, plus she’s captured that flowery petal-like quality, like the Georgia O’Keefe  flowers below. Looks like a daffodil to me and I like it, but her profile on Etsy says she’ll custom design as well (and since I first saw these, she's also got them in blues, whites and grays).
       Phallic imagery seems to abound in our culture, but sometimes I think that’s because it sticks out – it’s easier to see. And as much as I love the outies, I love that someone 
made a wearable innie.
