The Show

You know you’ve definitely gone out of style…

… when your 20 years younger hairdresser is curious where “your kind of people” meet. And if you still date at all.

And looks simultaneously thrilled and disgusted while asking these questions, like a kid poking a decaying frog with a stick.

REALLY?!?

All you youngsters out there’d better hold on to your pants, because Good Old-Fashioned Mama’s back! Forget your Tinder, Grindr, OKCupid, she may be old, but she sure ain’t stupid; still being raised in pre-virtual lore, she gets her toy boys in a …

 

Ah, well, invite me, and I’ll tell you my secret 😉

The Making Of

This is all Gwyneth Paltrow's fault.

In 2020 the former American actress released an epitome emancipation product that would render anybody the giggles: a candle that smells like her vagina. Gwyneth stated it started as a joke, but she gradually came to understand it was in fact a “subversive punk rock” attempt to free women from shame over their private parts.

Now, I’d be the last to turn down a spunky candle, but I was not really interested in Gwyneth’s vagina. After all, I have one of my own. And although I firmly believe that anyone who wishes to improve the image of the female sex organ deserves a prize, Gwyneth’s vagina then cost €325,- on eBay, and that was only for an unused one. Also, several law suits were filed against Paltrow afterwards, because her candles tend to explode in the bedroom. I mean, God knows what happens when that woman lets her entire vagina speak!

I wanted to make a set about how men suck at oral sex. Then I read another brilliant interview wherein Gwyneth stated that she hates dildos in the shape of a penis because they do not stimulate her brain. Instead, she prefers to keep a Cornetto on her nightstand, which blows for sure.

So, I decided to write a set on how to tickle the cunnilingular skills of men through ice cream with vagina flavor.

But my class did not think this was funny.
