Day 71 : Stand Up


Texas Tech's V-Day Campaign is putting on The Vagina Monologues this year. With one performance left, they have had an incredible attendance and impact already on campus.
Their next performance is this coming Saturday, April 3rd at 7pm in the Human Sciences Building Room 169. Tickets are $10 or $7 with a student ID.

"Based on interviews with over 200 women about their memories and experiences of sexuality, The Vagina Monologues gives voice to women's deepest fantasies and fears, guaranteeing that no one who reads it will ever look at a woman's body, or think of sex, in quite the same way again. It is witty and irreverent, compassionate and wise. "At first women were reluctant to talk," Eve Ensler writes. "They were a little shy. But once they got going, you couldn't stop them."

For quite some time now I have been passionate about the message this passionate group of women have to share. This year, due to schedule conflicts, I was unable to be involved in the event. However, I was able to stop by this past weekend to photograph the show. Halfway through, my battery died and I became SOL. Half a show shot, sucks, and now I'm trying to figure out how to get the other half shot since I plan on being out of town this coming weekend to visit family.

This is a grab shot from one of the monologues performed.
