I've had this idea about a journal - an academic journal with papers written by all kinds of different people.
About Hen Do's.
I seemed to have reached the point in my life where my friends think it's ok to ask me to shell out £300 on a weekend away and a further £250 on another weekend away (and at least one day off work) later in the same year. They cleverly disguise these 'weekends away' as a "Hen Do" and a "Wedding".
Don't get me wrong - I love a good night out, but I do wonder what these Hen Do's really say about modern, liberated, educated women about to embark on an equal(?) partnership for the rest of their years.
And on said Hen Do, it's ok to carry around all manner of willy paraphernalia ... when did you last see a stag do with a cunt straw, or a cunt balloon ... no, thought not.
So anyway, this is a call for papers - 2,000 word limit, to be submitted by the 14th July 2011 to me as a word doc; kirstsil@yahoo.com. I'll make a blog. I'll invite others to submit. If it ever goes anywhere I'll set up a co-operative so we all gain. Oh and I'm the editor.
Please spread the word far and wide. Papers can be fun, serious, academic, positive, negative, by men or by women.

I think the absence of cunt straws at Stag Do's is one of the few things we have to be thankful for...
ReplyDeleteThat being said am totally on board with your general premise... a friend recently went to the friend of the friends Hen do... quiet night in, male stripper included.
I was treated to the pics over brekkie - these included licking Anchor Squirty (or alt. pressurised cream) off a pre-oiled torso and simulated BJs under a UJ flag.
"what these Hen Do's really say about modern, liberated, educated women"
-I don't know where to start.
We don't think we can beat them so we've taken the only other option?
