    The front looks like a worn out vagina and the back looks like a raw anus.

    (I once made a therapist drop her pen during one of our sessions. )

    “Kali Ma, called the ‘Dark Mother,’ is the Hindu goddess of creation, preservation, and destruction. She is especially known in her Destroyer aspect, squatting over her dead consort, Shiva, devouring his entrails while her yoni sexually devours his lingam, penis. Kali, in this aspect is said to be ‘The hungry earth, which devours its own children and fattens on their corpses…’”

    The women who “used” this coat? What the hell did they use it for?

    It frightens me like finding an old box of baking soda in the back of the fridge. You don’t remember when you bought that, but the logo is an out-of-date style and you’re afraid to touch it with your bare hands.

They said it was the placenta and she said she liked the name and decided to name her daughter Placenta. I don’t know what is worse- your link of recipes or knowing that a child was named Placenta.

    @#40–Technically, any mammal meat comes out of a vagina. Depending on how strict you want to be with it, that would rule out poultry too, since a fertilized egg has to come out of the chicken’s cloaca, which is like a vagina and anus put together.

    Why is there no cloaca crafts on etsy? Vaginas are so last month.

    For those of you who chickened out on The Link (delicious recipes, BTW), here’s some tame fuckery. Well tame-ER. Ok, it’s kind of horrible:

    You know it has to be bad when someone with a name like Vile & Evil Debbie Downer says it is “kind of horrible”.

    BAD VEDD,very bad girl!Did you have it with a nice marinara or was it a cream sauce?
    What I don’t get -how is is that humans eat chicken butt, bull test1cles, pigs feet, lamb tongues, beef hearts,sparrow saliva, blood sausage &cow brains no less- then get freaked out about a little human placenta?
    If a trendy restaurant offered (awful offal)animal placenta , poached in wine , I bet the foodies would be all over it .

    And when you’re done being mystical, the robe also doubles as a furniture slipcover!

    OMG… I think my mother had something like this and the translation is spot on!
    nothing like the bo and clove combo to bring back some ” fond” memories!

    a friend’s partner kept her placenta and buried it under a rosemary bush on their property.

    I’m running out of excuses for dinner invites.
