Ok..to cut a long story short, i worked it out...they were coming up with different expressions for sanitary towels! I love when people personalise names for personal things. Not because euphemisms are sometimes necessary in ordinary conversation...but because of the sly references you can make to things... with only the ones in the know getting the joke. Yes its childish! I had one lover who referred to my private parts as my "purse" He stole a poster from outside a police station that said "Mind your purse"...it had a very graphic picture of a hand entering someone's handbag to snatch their purse!!
Haberdashery and childraising and naughties
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time many mistakes ago i was once romatically attached to somone who had a sister inlaw from hell. Whist recounting as many names as possible for the female genital part to an extended family included nanna Elsie and her mother who i think was alive at the time and the 3 year olds. She quite struck me 'Fur Burger', eres another one 'Beef curtains' (Children are now getting hungrey for their tea and taking an interest in textiles). ' MAN IN A BOAT??????? '
Thank you for extending my visual imagination and inspiring me to sever the link. M xxxx

ReplyDeleteFranca Rame is The famous playwright (Death of an Anarchist)Dario Foes wife, she is an actress from a travellers family . She wrote and performed many feminist monologes relating to sterotyping of gender informing , funny and way ahead of her time. She also was a political activist and suffered as a result. I left for Japan in 1997 just after the bomb in manchester and having the foundations of theatre and acting to give me stability and conviction in what was inspiring, what money could not change from the core. I spent nine months in Japan worked im many Kareoke bars worked with many women from different countries and differet walks of life laughed sang and cried. I met the good , the interesting the kind, the funny , the weird, the lonely. I began to let my conditioning go. I began to free myself from monetary wealth and past my possessions on to the next hostesses. I kept one thing in my rucksack all the time. 'A Women alone and other plays' I didnt come back the same person i came a back a better one
