I have submitted a folio to the I Shot Myself project for the first time in years! The word on the street is that it will go live next month sometime. If you want to join up, the banner to the left will get you a 10% discount on membership.
Otherwise here are few of my favourite shots from the folio. Enjoy!

As per the diagram above^ vulvas come in all kinds of variations… None of them seem ‘right’ or ‘ wrong’ to me. I think #27 is my personal favourite, the vulva I find most asthetically pleasing so to speak. However if I was presented with any of these vulvas, by someone I wanted to get busy with, I’d be pretty fucking happy to bury my face into any of them. I reckon a lot of guys probably share this sentiment too. Although I can only speak from my own experience with men to make this fairly sweeping statement.
I think we always tend to want what we don’t have ourselves.
I also think we tend to think we’re freaky, ugly, weird and so on. I mean, of the images above I don’t think I look like any of them, although #29 is probably the closest and my inital reaction was ‘jeez, I’m not really identifed in any of these examples…’
This is me:
So as you can see, not a lot to see unless I genuinely spread my legs. I tend to suffer, although not too much, from vagina envy… I want a fuller vulva but really do love what I have and what it does for me. As you can see I don’t have particularly defined outer lips, but everything I do have is tucked inside me and all of my genitals are right underneath my pelvis, rather than kinda starting towards the front. It seems loads of women have more vulva starting on the front of their bodies, I don’t for whatever reason and honestly that’s fine.
Also, now that I have full pubes, you can’t even really see anything defined much behind the brunette fuzz if I’m standing front-on naked.

I particularly like the image above as it clearly shows 2 very, very similar bodies – breasts, hips, shoulder width and torso length ect are evenly matched. However these ladies have very different vulvas. It shows that no 2 women are the same, despite, at first glance how similar they look.
Basically, what I’m driving at here is that we should try to accept, value and try our best to succeed at loving what we have. Don’t judge yourself as ugly, because it’s an unhelpful, negative and pretty closed way of looking at yourself and kind of by default, others as well. It’s tricky sometimes and we cannot do this every single day, but try to celebrate yourself and your body. Be kind to yourself both in thoughts and words.
Self love, in all it’s expressions is a beautiful and wonderful thing and I encourage everyone, everywhere to take some time to enjoy yourself and be nice to yourself.

So, I’ve made some art for an exhibition. This^ is my invite.
I’m doing it with a group of wonderful ladies and one very spunky man I know. They’re all amazing artists, whom I love and respect a metric fuck-tonne.
You can see all their exhibition invites here
If you’re in Melbourne and want to come check it out, the exhibition ‘Don’t quit your day job’ will run from Friday 1st of October for 2 weeks.
It’s being held at Hogan Gallery, 310 Smith Street, Collingwood.
I’ll be there for opening night on Friday the 1st, from 6pm onwards.
This is my first ever exhibition, my art is fairly ‘full-on’ in nature (there’s menstrual blood involved – people usually freak out about that sort of thing…) and I’m currently packing myself about..well… all of it really.
