Vagina MonologueIn order to promote a celebrity-studded rally to combat violence against women at New York's Madison Square Garden in February, 2001, the event's sponsor, Marie Claire magazine, asked several celebrities to answer a question raised in Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues":
If your vagina were to wear clothes, what would it wear?
Marisa Tomei's vagina, the actress declared, would come clad in... "The panacotta, an Italian dessert!"
[New Yorker scribe Nancy Franklin's verdict? "Mine would wear earplugs, so it wouldn't have to listen to such dopey lines of inquiry."]
[Trivia: In December 2003, a teacher at a girl's high school in Taiwan was reprimanded after asking students to draw their own vaginas and to hand the pictures in as a homework assignment.]
