2013: A Year in Vaginas (Maybe NSFW)
A Stadium That Looks Like a Vagina: Maybe it’s that the world is inundated with phallic objects, but I’ve always been drawn to things that look like vaginas. Sometimes, though, I’ve had to wonder if I’m the only one who sees these things, you know? Maybe oysters with all their delicate folds don’t really look like vaginas. Maybe an oyster is just an oyster. And a cigar is just a cigar. And the Washington Monument is just the Washington Monument. But this Zaha Hadid-designed stadium? This is definitely a vagina. For her part, Hadid denies this and says, “It’s really embarrassing that they come up with nonsense like this. What are they saying? Everything with a hole in it is a vagina? That’s ridiculous.” I can’t help but see it though, and fully agree with Jon Stewart, who called Hadid, “the Georgia O’Keeffe of things you can walk inside!” I guess Hadid doesn’t take that as a compliment, but I would if I were her. I really would.
