Since Raphel accompanied me to an all-boys play, I thought it's only right that he went to an all-girls play this time round. This time around, we went to catch The Vagina Monologues, held at the Drama Centre at the National Library.

It's interesting to know how some women choose to believe that there are other nice things in between their legs as they feel that their vagina are ugly. It's also interesting that some of them don't even like to mention the V word, but calling it by many other names like coochie-snotcher, peewee etc.

Then there was this story of how a husband strayed because his wife decided not to shave after her one bad experience with shaving. She believed that hair is there for a reason, which does make one wonder and ponder about it. Can't help but find it interesting too, apart from her adorable and comical Indian accent =)

Other notable events are a video clip of genital mutilation, childbirth, a real-life sensuous pole dance, actresses dressed in pinafores throwing out free sanitary pads, a transsexual who tried really hard to assume her new identity as a woman, hoping that others would accept her too, like her late boyfriend who died because others did not want him to be with her, and a scene of hilarious moans of different genres.

In summary, the play features a wide array of topics, ranging from shaving, to abuse, genital mutilation, transsexuals and lesbianisms, first periods and childbirth. You can't get any better of female topics than this =)
