so remember when we mentioned the linger mint? well, now there's vajazzling!

{yes, you read that right. as in bedazzling.}

for a hilariously critical take on this whole debacle, check out the washington post's sexist beatdown.

to be clear, we support adornment of all kinds. but we have to agree with amanda and sady when they say if this is what it takes for your partner to fearlessly look your honeypot in the face, there might be a problem...

"window seat"
erykah badu

So, presently I'm standing
Here right now
You're so demanding
Tell me what u want from me
Concluding
Concentrating on my music, lover, and my babies
Makes me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town
So can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long bye bye..
But I need u to want me
Need you to miss me
I need your attention
I need you next me
I need someone to clap for me
I need your direction
Somebody say come back
Come back baby come back
I want u to need me
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
So, in my mind I'm tusslin'
Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin'
I don't wanna time travel no mo
I wanna be here
I'm thinking
On this porch I'm rockin'
Back and forth like lightning hopkins
If anybody speak to scotty
Tell him beam me up..
So can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down
Window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long bye bye..
But I need you to miss me
Need somebody come get me
Need your attention
Need your energy yes I do
Need someone to clap for me
Need your affection
Somebody say come back
Come back baby come back
I want u to need me
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
But can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down
I just need a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long
Bye bye..

"soldier of love"

I've lost the use of my heart
But I'm still alive
Still looking for the light
And the endless pool on the other si e
It's the wild wild west
I'm doing my best
I'm at the borderline of my faith
I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
I'm in the front line of this battle of mine
But i'm still alive
I'm a soldier of love
Every day and night
I'm a soldier of love
All the days of my life
I've been torn up inside
I've been left behind
Tall I ride
I have the will to survive
In the wild, wild west
Trying my hardest
Doing my best to stay alive
I am love's soldier
I wait for the sound
I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around
I am lost but i don't doubt
Tall I ride
I have the will to survive
In the wild, wild west
Trying my hardest
Doing my best to stay alive
I am love's soldier
I wait for the sound
I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier
Still wait for love to come
Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier

quickie!

"jump up in the air"

[Erykah Badu - Chorus]
I know you want to
Jump up in the air and stay there
[repeated]

Jumped up out my seat
I know you want to
Something musta got in me
I know you want to
Church neva felt this good before
I know you want to
'Cept I was at the club
Oh Oh
I know you want to
Bounce Hey come on
I know you want to

I know you want to reach to the higher level
Much further from the devil
Until you feel the weather
[repeated]

[Chorus]

[Lil Wayne]
Hi – G H2O down never
My level far from the devil
Have some manners say hello to to angels
And watch out for Uranus
I go nuts like a Danish
Then vanish into thin air
And stay in there
This is D Carter better bring ya swimwear
Huh, but I’m shallow and when ya this high
Everybody else is balow, oops I meant below
Mijo, zero degreeyo, frio
Get into your soul like Neyo, weeyo
Oh I meant ohwee or is it oohwee
Truly I don’t give a fuck I am on the ceiling stuck
Like a fan full of dust
Like her hand full of bucks
I’m spending like crazy
I’m in Wayne’s World
Where the women like ladies
And you don’t need a telescope to see Weezy F baby

[Erykah Badu]
Elevate with us
We're on the ceiling stuck
Like a fan full of dust
Like a hand full of bucks
We're spending like crazy

Come fly with us
We're on the ceiling stuck
Like a fan full of dust
Like a hand full of bucks
We're spending like crazy
[repeated]

[Chorus]

well, beloveds...

if you needed a sign, this could be it.

we adore examples of holistic masculinity. if you know some, holla! could be a new sidebar in the making...

quickie!

now we can add the linger mint to the list of things that are wrong with your vagina!

you know, besides the fact that you have one of those icky things in the first place.

and, here comes a collective sigh in 3...2...1...
