What do water socks, tulips, and sliced ham have in common? Started by best friends Eva Sealove and Chelsea Jones in , the project highlights images of everyday objects in an unapologetic celebration of the female body — and pussy, in particular. Especially in the age of Trump. Though some people have criticized the project for its focus on the vagina, for Sealove, the pussy is much more a symbol of fierce femininity than it is any sort of commentary on what it means to be a woman.

We just can’t get enough of these amazing pictures

Eva Sealove and Chelsea Jones used to take pictures of things they thought looked like pussies and text them to each other because they thought they were funny. Followers started sending in pictures of their own — a fold in a bed sheet, a hole in a tree — and now, with a little over crowdsourced images posted, the account has grown to , followers. What started out as an inside joke has become a project rooted in something much deeper — deconstructing the narratives that have been built around the shame and guilt placed upon people who own vulvas. According to statistics documented by The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery , labiaplasty a surgery that changes the size or appearance of the labia, typically the labia minora , once a niche procedure, has now become one of the most trending cosmetic surgeries. Some vulva owners are born with labia minoras that extend past the labia majora, making activities such as walking very uncomfortable and painful. Vulva owners, and women in particular, may be acting on their desire to change the appearance of their vulvas based on external and imposed standards, yet scrolling through the colorfully offbeat images that Look At This Pussy has curated, it is impossible not to find a strange beauty that radiates from every post in the project.

Teen Vogue : Why is it important to show that pussies are everywhere, and why is it important to normalize them? Eva Sealove: One of the main goals of this project is to normalize and de-shame the vulva. So one of the main goals with this project is to just collect and archive tons of different variations of vulva-shaped yonic objects, and to show them and display them all alongside one another, to kind of chart difference and sameness in this way.
Like this one helping to celebrate the the New Year:
Have you ever walked down the street and been stopped in your tracks by a tree trunk? There, right before your eyes, is an accurate depiction of a vulva, perfectly sculpted by nature — who knows? Perhaps you're even looking at Mother Nature's very own vag. After spending way too long, thumb and index finger stroking your chin as if you had a silky beard, ostensibly staring at the base of a tree, you return to your initial path, but something within you has changed forever. Everywhere you go, you just can't un-see the pussy. Turns out you're not alone. The account was born out of an in-joke. Eva Sealove and Chelsea Jones enjoyed texting each other pictures of things they thought looked like pussies until they eventually set up the Instagram in
There are very fundamental, very literal things that catch my attention in other humans, as though I function like a nimble minded fly—anyone who can reduce the complexities of life to a simple and hilarious explanation wins the prize. The particular topic and context in which we are speaking, however, can be viewed in many different ways. We all get that.
