Fashion today includes sparkles, glitter and crystals on clothes, purses and other accessories ... anything shiny, and the more, the better, some would say.
This art form of decorating clothing and accessories began in the 1970s with the creation of a tool that stapled jewels (costume-type) onto shoes, hats, shirts ... you name it. Now, in the 21st century, "bedazzling" is more commonly used as a verb, to add "bling" to an item.
The history of bedazzling is interesting, as it was once a popular art form in the 1970s, and today has become so omnipresent that it is often mocked as a "kiddy craft" due to its overused, flashy, kitschy pseudo-crystals on just about any common household item you can imagine.
Well, I thought I could imagine all of the possible "household items" that could be bedazzled, until I heard about this term: vajazzle.
Bedazzling has now become a type of fashion for women's bodies. You can only imagine what "vajazzling" entails, but it is actually quite a misnomer, as it does not entail a woman's vagina and does not include the actual BeDazzling (machine).
Here's what vajazzling does entail:
Beauty salons have been providing beautification services to women for decades; why not add some bling to your thing? Many women (including celebrities) have used vajazzling to celebrate special occasions: anniversaries or break-ups, Valentine's Day and even their own wedding (or honeymoon, rather!).
Women decorate themselves daily in the form of make-up and jewelry. Some women choose to decorate their bodies with tattoos and body piercings. Is vajazzling just one more avenue of beautification that may become mainstream? After all, it is temporary, inexpensive, convenient, quick and does not cause side effects (unless a woman has an allergy to the adhesive; a skin rash could develop).
In fact, this trend has become somewhat popular in certain areas, that there are now markets for men: penazzle. (really).
What do you think?
Is vajazzling something fun that women can do to spice up their sex life, and add an element of surprise (or humor) to their relationship?
