age old customs...

i think this may quickly be turning into a blog about feminism. who knew?

one of the most striking scenes in the novel 'memoirs of a geisha' (can't remember if it was as powerful in the movie or not) was the result of the auction for her virginity. she achieved the highest price ever paid, and was given to a doctor, who (and in some ways this was the most striking part of the whole scene) collected the blood smeared sheets of all the women whose virginity he had purchased. he cuts the sheet, and then pulls out this case full of little vials, all with something brown and crusty inside them, all labelled with the names of the women he had purchased...

what is with our obsession with that first time?

here's a girl choosing to make her millions of it.

just down south in the good ol' US of A...
