YSaC, Vol. 1453: Please don’t Instagram that.
This one has been posted in a number of different Craigslist markets recently. Unsurprisingly, it seems to keep getting flagged. It’s behind a cut because it mentions the same medically accurate term for female anatomy that got a female midwestern representative banned from speaking on the state House floor last year, so I don’t want to take any chances. If you don’t like the word vagina, don’t click through.*
Vaginas Of Craigslist Project
I am working on an art project that will be named “The Vaginas Of Craigslist”. What I am doing is that I am collecting pictures of anonymously and voluntarily submitted vaginas from craigslist users and putting them on a tumlbr page. I am looking for pictures of all vaginas as long as you are over 18. I really do not care if it is a shaved, hairy, or whatnot. I do not care if you think it is an ugly Vagina (after I look at it I will definitely disagree with that assessment because I firmly believe that there is no such thing as an ugly vagina). I need all kinds and types of Vaginas as long as they are your vagina (do not submitt someone elses) and as long as you are 18 or over. Please send me an anonymous picture of your vagina (vagina only, no other parts of your body needed) and place a caption on it that you would like for the website to say. I will send you the link to your vagina after it is posted so you can see yours and all of the rest of the submissions. Thank you for your help in this project.
I don’t doubt that this is someone’s art project, but I’m going to put it in the same category as the person who was requesting penis puppetry models. The human body is a beautiful thing and should be celebrated, but shouldn’t be dressed up like Power Rangers or have closeups on tumblr sites.
Now, don’t get all bent out of shape here. I’m sure you have a perfectly lovely vagina (or penis, or … whatever). I’m all in favor of you being proud of your body parts, so don’t start a “Vaginas Across America” protest party or anything, and definitely don’t have pop stars get together to sing a rousing rendition of “Vaginas are a Girl’s Best Friend” or “Lady Vagina”.
Also? Number of times it takes saying the word “vagina” before it stops sounding like a word? Around 12.
*Yes, that was on purpose.
My new art project: The Elbows of YSaC! Send your anonymous *wink, wink* photos of your elbow, and I will stay in constant email contact with you without knowing who you are in any way. Really. I’m special like that.
I would Windy, but I got it stuck in my ear.
It’s so hard to find naked pix on the Internet that Sparky has to resort to subterfuge to get them.
Why does Sparky/Sparkles feel the need to specify that I can only send in photos of my own vagina? It’s not like s/he has some sort of cooter-checking system to compare and contrast.
Maybe he’s building such a system.
…most awkward episode of CSI ever…
“Can you increase the magnification on this?”
“… I’d rather not. Can’t we just plant evidence on a hobo instead?”
The Internet: Allowing guys to ask random women things they’d normally get kicked in the testicles* for, since 1982**.
* “Testicles” is the medically accurate term. Please don’t ban me from YSaC.
** Yes, ARPANET goes back even further. I went with the year TCP/IP was formalized.
*** You found a secret, unreferenced footnote! Congratulations!
We would have also accepted janglies, goolies, kiwis, jewels, or manfruits.
I thought Testicles was a Greek hero of the Gods. Didn’t he pass like a thousand exams or something?
Testicles: Greek God of Nuts
At least he didn’t say “vajayjay.”
Ah, nature’s rudest bird, titmice aside.
Yet another way in which Playboy has influenced society (i.e. this month’s pictorial is Women of the Jersey Turnpike Tollbooths).
So, apparently Craig’s List has good enough quality &(%$%$^ for recruiting but isn’t high-class enough for posting the collection of said &(%$%$^
This idea won’t work cus it has already been done on Tumblr: whatnot&(%$%$^.tumblr.com
I think that Sparky is sending a message to our future “Women Are From Venus” overlords by making some of the &(%$%$^ all lowercase and some of the &(%$%$^ capitalized.
In the long run, I think that this project will work for certain owners of &(%$%$^. The key statement is “I will send you the link to your vagina after it is posted so you can see yours …” because, ya know, some owners of &(%$%$^ have difficulty in viewing their &(%$%$^ directly. Some have “Dunlop’s Disease” and simply can’t see it, while others simply don’t have a mirror in the house to use to see their &(%$%$^. Plus, direct viewing of one’s &(%$%$^with the naked eye (huh huh he said “naked”) provides only one view of said &(%$%$^, whether it is beautiful, ugly, or, simply utilitarian. So, posting pictures of your &(%$%$^online makes it so much easier to see it for some owners. And, let’s face it, some &(%$%$^ owners are simply too embarrassed to view their &(%$%$^ in the privacy of their own home and need to have the peace of mind that comes with viewing their very own &(%$%$^on the world weird intrawebs.
[gynocorey] Unless one is in posession of a speculum and endo/periscope, it is fairly difficult to view one’s own vagina. And unless the endoscope is equipped with a camera, it is equally difficult to photograph it. Of course you could always go on eBay and lay out a few hundred bucks for a video drain pipe inspector, which would probably do the trick nicely, but I suspect that what Sparky is actually trolling for here are vulvae (rhymes with Mulvae). [/gynocorey]
Mulvae? Wasn’t he on the X-Files?
Thank you, D3 for this gynocorey. I am so glad not to be the only one bothered by this malapropism. Every time I hear someone talk about getting her vagina waxed, I imagine a funnel. And die a little inside.
Ouch. If that was how they did it, you really would die a little on the inside.
Kinda gives new meaning to the term “selfie”.
I thought chewing gum while reading this site was safe but no, it’s not. Not when gems like “gynocorey” pop up. It even sat on my keyboard for about 20seconds while I wiped my eyes from crying I was laughing so hard.
Sparky re-posted the next day with a correction:
Virginias Of Craigslist Project
I am working on an art project that will be named “The Virginias Of Craigslist”. What I am doing is that I am collecting pictures of anonymously and voluntarily submitted pictures of Virginia [the state] or from craigslist users named Virginia and putting them on a tumlbr page. I am looking for pictures of all Virginias as long as you are over 18 [and have a Virginia to share]. I really do not care if it is a paved, bushy, or whatnot [that’s NOT a Virginia!] picture. I do not care if you think it is an ugly Virginia (after I look at it I will definitely disagree with that assessment because I firmly believe that there is no such thing as an ugly Virginia). I need all kinds and types of Virginias as long as they are your Virginia (do not submitt someone elses) and as long as you are 18 or over. Please send me an anonymous picture of your Virginia (Virginia only, no other parts of the U.S. needed) and place a caption on it that you would like for the website to say. I will send you the link to your Virginia after it is posted so you can see yours and all of the rest of the submissions. Thank you for your help in this project.
VaginaVirginia is for Lovers!And next month – Pennsylvanias!!
And then You-tah-tah-ians.
Eventually, Californication!
It is a mystery why YSaC keeps getting flagged as pron.
Following the success of Vaginias of Craigslist, Sparky moved on to the even more popular Shoulderknees of Craigslist, Furries of Craigslist, and the showstopping Butter Burritos of Craigslist.
[craigslist corey] I don’t know if it’s just a local thing or not, but there is this thing called Flash Fridays where folks post pictures of shoulderknees and pecils (their own or someone else’s) in the personals section. If Sparky so desired, he could find material for a dozen tumblrs without resorting to begging random people to send him photos of their junk. (Unless that’s part of his kink.) [/cl corey]
This post is making me hungry. I mean, I’m like most people and like yummy things to eat. I especially like the chicken ones, but I would pluck those rather than shave them. Feathers don’t shave too good. And you all are correct, there are a lot of pictures of them on the internet. I’m drooling over looking at them all the time. It’s almost a fetish with me. I’m constantly reading on how to prepare them to eat. It really gets my saliva going. Grilling the pieces with onions and peppers…yum. Sometimes though, I don’t even eat them with tortillas, but almost always eat them with that gack·a·mole stuff made from avocados. Mmmm. Tex-Mex, totally yummy!
Note to self – do not sit in the corner with Br’er Fox.
*Posts sign in all corners: Bewere the Brer!*
Boy am I furry in the face. I just discovered I don’t know the difference between vaginas and fajitas. They do rhyme don’t they?
to vaginas acrossed ‘merica project.
re: submition

pay no attenshun to the little stick figure on the side my sistur stool my colorred pecils she likes to draw to.
i want the captian on the website to say that this is mine what i drawed myself and is mine own.
Yes, vagina, there is no sanity clause on craigslist.
Of all the places to find vaginas, why Craigslist? Why not the higher quality sites, like People of Walmart or Google Images?
(BTW: Remind me to clear my browser history before wifey gets home. Not sayin’ nothin’, just sayin’.)
This is a good point. If all the furniture on Craigslist is used, scuffed, stained, and cheap to begin with, the same is likely true of Craigslist vaginas.
CJ, Brer Fox, Sure Happy It’s Thursday! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Amateur Gynecologists!
Maybe Sparky is looking at he wrong gender here.
