Not NP - Kali's Yoni: Full Frontal Feminism

Mardi Gras in New Orleans is just 2 months away, so I've got to start
working on my Red Beans Krewe costume soon.  Last year I posted Flickr
links to my masking as Kali Ma.  It was a big hit, though no one knew who I
was.  So this year I was at a loss on how to go forward from there, until
reading some of "Tantric Kali" (Daniel Odier, serious Kashmir Shaivism
scholar) yesterday: I am going to be a full-body, me-sized Kali's Yoni!  I
know she would approve.

My face, up top, will be a blood red female bindu (clit).  Menstruation is
a sacred aspect of Kali worship.  Her yoni is a temple for meditation in
VERY ancient Hinduism. I will sport Kali's wild black pubic hair as a
crown.  It will be very 3D, with labia wrapping round my sides.  I'm
skilled in making wearable sculptural costumes, lots of practice.  All
will be covered in detailed designs of multi-colored red, black, white,
yellow and green dried beans.  My body underneath will be all black.  I was
worried about inspiration until yesterday.  Now I'm full steam ahead.

FYI, this kind of sexual expression is fully OK (LOVED) here during Mardi
Gras.
