I think she meant urethra, vagina and anus.
I’ve always liked the mouth, left nostril and urethra best, myself.
If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go bang my head against the wall until that thought bleeds out of my forehead.
Good luck, man! I’d eat it every day if I could 
Tyra Banks, in her previous career, was the number one model in the Victoria’s Secret stable of lingerie hotties. In her present incarnation, she loves all of you, and she feels your pain. It’s a talk-show thing. “I understand what you’re going through, even though you aren’t lovely like me.”
Tyra Banks is not lovely. I’ll grant that she may well have been lovely during her modeling days (I’ll believe it when I see it), but she is a hideous beast now.
She creeps me out…something about that overly made up face. She just screams dragon lady to me now.
Twiggy looks older (as she is) and not as in your face–clearly not the young waif she once was–but I’ll take her any day over Tyra. Even Janice Dickinson I prefer–she’s an uber bitch but she’s not a bitch pretending to be your best friend and being their for “her girls” on “Top Model” the way Tyra Banks is.
Frankly, I’m just impressed you can get your own nose so close to it!
I think this kind of education is more for women who don’t know anything about their genitalia, whether willfully or otherwise.
And I think it’s good. The whole (haha) empowerment thing. It helps fight the “female genitalia are mysterious and dirty and if you are menstruating you are shunned from the village” mentality that has served to oppress women and female sexuality for, oh, 5000 years or so.
“Feed me, Seymour… Feed me all night long.”
First, I have to think that my daughter will have an easier time getting the care she needs when she says to a doctor, “My urethra burns when I pee,” or “my vagina itches,” versus a friend of hers who will be saying, “My tootie is bothering me.” Ditto for later sexual satisfaction - if you can’t tell your partner what to do, don’t expect to have a great time. (And yes, my 4yo knows “vulva,” “clitoris,” and “vagina” already.)
As for needing to take a look down there, here are examples just from my life: I once had a suspicious mole in my interlabial sulcus (that was a fun biopsy!), so I was damn glad I was familiar with the area, noticed something felt wrong, and had the comfort level to take a look. I also had to learn to catheterize myself after a bladder injury during childbirth. Oh, and speaking of that, knowing how to check cervical mucus, and even find your cervix and judge its firmness and position, is a very useful tool in getting (and not getting) pregnant.
You should have that checked.
I’m not that flexible, Mangetout! But I think it’s a safe guess, since I bathe and all. I’m not asking my ex-boyfriend!
I sure as hell didn’t mean to bring up the risotto thing. ulp
And yes, by three holes I was including the anus. “Down There” to my mind sort of encompasses the whole area. “Vulva” is the specifically girly part. “Vagina” is…well, you know.
You had to catheterize yourself? I’m going to have nightmares now.
Uck, that is going to give me nightmares, too, and I am speaking as one who had to wear a catheter. Once. (No, I’m not doing the joke.) I was 8 or 9 and had urinary tract problems and it was TORTURE.
I find it amusing though, that a vagina thread on the boards can turn into a Tyra hijack. Whoever Tyra is.
NinjaChick, I know you don’t think one needs to know anymore. But you seem to at least be able to know when something’s wrong. If you have never even looked at yourself you have no idea. Plus I don’t like the idea of all those girls growing up to think they’re dirty somehow.
In my imagination you are. Forever.
Just kidding.
It’s worse than that. For a moment I read that as “cauterize”. :eek:
Now why did you all have to go and call it a Muppet Vagina?
Now I’ve got that stupid song stuck in my head. Only except now instead of picturing cute little muppets; I’m picturing singing vaginas!
It’s time to play the music
It’s time to light the lights
it’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.
It’s time to put on makeup
It’s time to dress up right
It’s time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight…*
Oh, God the laughter!
It hurts!
Make it stop!
Oh I know exactly who she is- the woman who keeps letting one or two plus-sized models onto America’s Next Top Model then cutting them when they lose weight or aren’t confident enough compared to their ‘regular-sized’ housemates.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard the wonka-wonka porno music in my head when Tyra put her arm around the waist of that blonde.
Cable has nothing to do with it. She’s usually on major networks. In your area, she’s on Fox23 at 10am.
I have never seen her show. And I never will.
