Mar. 6th, 2003 11:13 amDoes anyone know anything about The Vagina Monologues ?
I'd been told, by people who I'd regard as reliable, that they were extremely funny. Last night, I accidentally found a performance on the telly. The 2 minutes I watched seemed to consist entirely of a woman explaining how she'd "reclaimed" the word cunt, and then repeatedly saying it in different silly voices.
Which the audience seemed to find hilarious. Which I found incomprehensible. It's not like I found it offensive, it just... wasn't funny.
[One Notional Kudos Point to anyone who realises why I suddenly remembered about this :) ]

No, I do remember you! I'm Kate Harding. I have no idea whether that'll ring any bells.
