Vajazzling: Is it for You?

I actually came across this word two days ago while reading a blog, and while my initial guess was that it had something to do with bling, what I did not know was that it is a very unique body decoration that involves no piercing. Vajazzling is one of those trends that only gets talked about in the same way some women discuss personal grooming habits in the nether regions, such as a Brazilian or French wax. Vajazzling sounds great at first, but there are some risks to consider, not to mention the fact that the final touch may look great at first, but can look messy after one week.

What exactly is vajazzling? Simply put, it is the practice of arranging flat-backed Swarovski crystals upon a freshly waxed pubic region, using a non-toxic adhesive to hold them in place. It does sound fancy, and something the young, rich jet-setters might get done. It may seem pointless to some women to have stones stuck on a body part that only an intimate might see, versus the public. Those removable tattoos which are so fun and practical can easily include crystals, and crystals have long been used by nail salons for decorative art. The positive side to using crystals is that many different colors can be used to form a wide variety of designs, from flowers to fruit and aliens. Just think, an alien that resembles a traffic signal (think "War of the Worlds", the 1953 version) to surprise your husband or boyfriend. The adhesive used will stay on even through showers, in case you are worrying about those tiny crystals falling off and clogging the drain, or clogging up something else. Vajazzling sounds interesting even though I have to admit it is not for me, though there are some interesting crystal designs worth investigating besides that alien from H. G. Wells' classic film:

A fire-breathing dragon in green crystals, with red ones for the eyes. This may scare away some guys, but there are some women who do not mind having a dragon guarding their gate, so to speak.

An itsy bitsy teeny weeny purple bikini. Or blue, green, maybe even pink. Colorful crystals stand out more than just plain, clear ones. Of course, this will look great at a nudist colony, if the wearer is inclined towards that direction.

A basket of fruit. This will definitely give a whole new meaning to the phrase "fruit of the womb."

A cat. No further explanation is needed here.
