The New Rules" segment on Bill Maher tonight showed a collection of multicolored Japanese Cell Phone Cases that are vagina-shaped. If true, this shows that this woman is not alone in her crusade. But I haven’t been able to find a link to it – just to something that looks suspiciously like a porn site. edited to add: Apparently this IS by the same lady: > [@](#): > > Igarashi made a name for herself with “decorated vagina” sculptures including female-genitalia-inspired jewelry, cellphone cases, toys and dioramas. She has said she wants to “demystify” female genitalia in Japan.

> [@cmkeller](#): > > On the subject of vagina-shaped things, it amuses me to no end that the hospital where my wife gives birth (Katz Women’s Hospital, part of Long Island Jewish Medical Center) is shaped (if viewed from above) like a vagina (or kayak). On the same subject, here’s the [Trump Ocean Club,](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Panama_08_2013_Trump_Ocean_Club_Tower_7090.JPG) the tallest building in Panama City (and second tallest in Latin America).

Interesting that they aren’t busting her for actually using her kayak - they’re busting her for distributing the raw data that would enable others to make their own. This appears to be an instance of an [illegal number.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number) ---

It’s not the size of the boat that matters, it’s the motion of the ocean. But it sure takes a long time to get to England in a [del]rowboat[/del] kayak. ---

Although this thread is several days old, I am still reading the title as “Japan Authorities Hostile to Vagina Kiosk.” Abetted, no doubt, by the part of my brain that knows the Japanese are known to have coin-op machines for _everything_. ---

I think she should make a vagina-themed sleeping bag. If she designed it right, the sleepers head could complete the anatomy. Even if you slept in a fetal position. ---
