An Ode to Fur X2

By Neslihan
I'm literally the worst blogger ever. I've again neglected my blog but browsing through it today I realised how happy the content actually makes me. I know this sounds pretty narcissistic but I really only blog for me. And maybe also for the few irregular visitors I have. Before I start blogging I'm always like: what content would appeal to me? What would I find interesting or fun to read/see? And since I'm going through a social network free month I figured I have plenty of time to revive this blog. It's cold outside and I'm drowning in schoolwork and I was thinking if there actually was anything that could comfort me during this miserable period of the year and I suddenly had this epiphany. I saw it in all kinds of colours and textures. It was all so very vivid. I could almost feel its softness. Hell, I could even touch it.

This collage is a dream. It's distant, yet oh so near. You can almost feel the vibrant hairs touching your skin. It feels like human warmth. It's the kind of love that's for sale. Don't let romanticism fool you, they're all probably worth 2 lungs and a kidney.

I've collected a couple amazing artworks celebrating the female anatomy because I think that's being done so very scarcely. Instead women are still being shamed for their pubic hair, exterior labia and for how it is and it is not supposed to smell. I'm saying fuck 'em all and praise that pussy. Vaginas are literally the most interesting bodypart ever. Each and every one of them is so unique. Mine doesn't look like yours and yours doesn't look like Bernadette's from across the street. 100 % originality, I'm telling you.

PS. I think I'm going to change the lay-out around here. If you have any recommendations, do react. I think I will stay true to the kitschie pink-yellow colour palette though.
