Year of Sex! The Century of the Cunt! (for the truly ambitious) The Year
of the Yoni!
okay. I think y'all get my vote.
So. Hmmmm. Women in the Arts as images of women's bodies -- this could
work, but I think it would be cooler if it was more about the physicality

did "The Vagina Monologues" last year and I would pay a million dollars to
see that again -- even dance. Wow. This could be truly spectacular.
Ai-ya! It's a go!
