Vajazzling: Strange Vanity

Three weeks ago, Jennifer Love Hewitt revealed on the George Lopez Show that her “va-jay-jay” was encrusted with Swarovski crystals. It glitters like a “disco ball” she goes onto say. Jennifer left late-nite TV viewers with a bizarre and indelible image. Her childish reference to her genitals aside, Jennifer also revealed a recent trend in women’s beauty – genital cosmetology.

I first started to become aware of this a couple years ago when I heard that women were having their hymens sown shut again. It’s called “revirginization’, or clinically “hymenoplasty.” From what I have read, women seek this cosmetic surgery to make right some past mistake or wrong. In the case of wrongs, the psychological and physical impact of rape is trauma enough. Couple it with the loss of virginity, not only has a woman lost control, but she has physically and emotionally lost her innocence. In these cases, hymenoplasty can aid in restoring some of what was taken. The women seeking to correct a poor decision though are looking to run back time so that they can give the right person what was given to the wrong person. This is just vanity, isn’t it?

Okay, hymenoplasty and Vajazzling are just two examples. How about two more? First another plastic surgery procedure: Labiaplasty. In this case, the surgery clearly serves vanity. For some women, the labia minor have grown longer than labia major. In other words, the inner labia are not neatly tucked into the outer labia. In a few cases, the difference is extreme and causes deep anxiety. Labiaplasty offers these women an opportunity to feel normal sexually. For other women, labiaplasty is a means to the “perfect pussy”. The line between need and want is thin. One site displays before and after pictures of women that have undergone the surgery. Only a few of these images looked like women in need of the surgery.

The last item on our genital cosmetology tour is a product that most likely came out of the porn industry. It’s called My New Pink Button. My New Pink Button is actually gynecological makeup. This product makes the vaginal opening pinker. Pinker than what, is my question. Like the Jennifer’s crystals, My New Pink Button is purely a vanity product. This feeds a desire to be young and fresh. This is akin to the advent of rouge for the face a cheeks. The appearance of youth. But again, who is going to see this and under what conditions?

Items like My New Pink Button and Vajazzling are only ever going to be seen by a lover or on the set of a porn movie. Neither serves a practical purpose. Both are definitely for vanity and ego. I know that as a man, I am not that aware of either the color nor the decor of a woman’s pussy. My view is often under poor lighting conditions and fogged by hormones. And you may ask my thoughts on another bit of genital cosmetology – shaving. I admit that shaved pubic hair is attractive. However, I like that there be some hair still to be seen and touched. After all, I chose to sleep with a woman, not a girl. It’s the one pure vanity that I feel comfortable with. Besides it is neither introduces new chemicals and doesn’t pose a choking hazard.
