u guys r friggin
u guys r friggin hilarious,love the natural timing that you all have as a couple, i appreciate your efforts and hard work to reach the audience that has had a very subtle voice for the longest(myself included). i've not seen the movie being referred to in this vlog but in time i'm sure it will surface in all the right places. also, it may b a longshot but if you all find your way to the Atl make your presence known and i'm sure that you'll find that the work accomplished by the two of you was not in vain. p.s Olive you have a doppleganger here in GA., when i show her along with my other friends this episode i'm sure that we all will be on a pilgramage of sorts to make our faces and voices known to the both of you.(through video ofcouse).
my words tend to get into places my tongue cannot...without much effort i've been told...i'd better learn to speak other languages,just in case. "ladyj"
I feel so left out
Me Either
I tried to remember something, but I can't recall any euphemisms my mom used growing up. As if I needed further proof of a repressed childhood...
Another great vlog this week--you two are absolutely adorable together. I'm going to have to try and heed your advice (via Rudy Dee) on not being so self-effacing...
It's not Grandma's fault... we're from Mississippi.
When I was a kid, my Grandma would give me a bath when I spent the night. She would throw some avon "Skin-So-Soft" oil in the tub and say ... "MAKE SURE YOU WASH YO' SALLY GAL!!!!!!!!!!"
And so. That is what I've called my vagina since. Sally Gal.
There it is.

Here is my U people experience for you.
My stars.... I just..mmmm
Well sleeping with a straight woman is like have your plumber pull your teeth.
They might be open to it.
They may even have a similar set of tools but in the end they lack the expertise.
Happy New Year!

she is one heck of psychotic plumber, and she was the one who offered to pull my teeth. I surely learned the lesson in a very hard way.
I love U people.
Oh I can't wait to watch this film. You two are so funny and so honest. I laugh and feel good everytime I watch this vlog. lol I keep saying that but it's true.
I can't remember any of the names my grandma use to call it. My mom used vagina or down there. I really like punni (sp?) and 'gina. That is too cute.
Where's it playing?
Keep them coming
stop, breathe, woooo
ok now that i have regained control of my voluntary muscles, let me say that i looove you guys so much.
and to answer your question: twatsie. yes twatsie. hearing that word come out of my genteel, southern mother's mouth is priceless.
Lady Bits
We used the term "Lady Bits" and I still use it as though I'm 5 years old.
You ladies always keep your vlogs interesting and informative!
Keep it up!

Those were the words I used to refer to my "special place" when I was little. Being that I'm from the West Indies, I have heard of poom poom, and punani before, and boy did that take me back - cracked me up! I really look foward to this blog every week, and I'm never disappointed.
I <3 love people!
You two are great!! In
You two are great!!
In my family we called it your coochie or cooch for short. Keep up the good work!
I also posted my account of the concert on my blog
http://journey2enlightenment.blogspot.com/2007/12/oh-what-night.html
You are very adorable.
I loved your blog!!!!
I am glad you had a great time at the show. We are planing a few more surprises this year. I hope that we see you at the events slated for NYC. I am sorry you were nervous. We love to talk to goodhearted folks. Did you happen to see our random special guest Macy Gray. I will admit I was surprised to see her myself. She came out for Honey La Rochelle. She loves the song she did for the soundtrack of U People the movie. We do through a good show so we should expect it but it is always a pleasurable surprise to see who shows up.
Thank you so much for coming!!
PS I have known Tika Milan for ten years . She is a sweetheart, you didn't have to be nervous.

Same here
I know it as coochie- How many times Have you heard cooties. You got cooties. Like young girls are a disease.
I enjoy the u people experience. For that dumbfounded womyn who thought it was ok to grab that womyn's cooch- not cool.
The other womyn,D, who told her u people experience to us. OMG! I can't believe that crazy lune said that. I would've been shock,pissed and asked her how long has been since she came out the ward? Shall I call someone to pick you up and take you back to your planet?
I swear some people ...
Love ya'll!
Great Vlog
Great Vlog as always.
The U people experiences this week were unbelievable. There certainly are some crazy people in this world.
I think your referring to the experiences as "U people" is genius. I could never really describe how those events I've experienced made me feel but they definitely made me feel like a U people. I'm very proud to be a lesbian and I'm out to everyone I know. But when I had very short hair my girlfriend couldn't understand why it upset me everytime some stranger shouted "LESBIAN" at me while I walked down the street (whether I was with my girlfriend or not). I just felt like why do they have to brand me like that and make everyone turn around and look at me like I'm a freak of nature. I don't go around shouting "STRAIGHT" at every heterosexual I see. I got really upset when a six year old shouted it me cause it made it feel like parents were teaching their kids to be intolerant.
By the way, in our house we referred to it as our Doo Dah.
Peace out xxx
Yell back "STRAAAIGGHT!!
I think it would absolutely hilarious to yell back "BREEDER!!" or "HETERROSICKUROLE!!
It would prbably shock the hell out of them, not to mention give you something laugh at and shake off the ill they were trying ot put on you.
I would shout it at the kid to and confuse him for a few years or so. Why not? :D
for the love of life's design.

Love it!
Wunder you should try this for sure - it would be funny to confuse a few kids every now and again not to mention hella funny!
Excellent Idea!!
I'd would love to shout "BREEDER" at them, I didn't think of that. It would be so funny. I'll definately keep that in mind for the next time whether it be adult or kid.
The last time it happened I stopped and said "yeah....what?" and guy looked terrified and sort of scuttled away, it was classic.
I'm now actually want someone to shout lesbian at me now so I can say it.
Thanks ladies your all stars
I love U People xxx
hey y'll,sup? i just heard
hey y'll,sup? i just heard my 1st U People story and im loving it. FINALLY I CAN BREATH A SIGH OF RELIEF.
much love to Olive n Hanifah.
in Jamaica some ppl call da vagina "pumz",Flower,vagi,punany and punni. my momz call it coochie. Also if it really fat n juicy,its called buff bay,phatty cat.
ooo lawd..
Whats with all the "p" words
...interestingly, I'm from Ghana, and in the Ga language that I speak(one of many in Ghana), its called "pulee" - you pronounce it very specifically as pooh-ley in the sing-song tone that is Ga...so it can't help but sound very sweet ;-)
I wonder if the other "p" words are a derivative of that somehow?!?
Great "episode" as usual :)
I love U People
aaawwwwww flowers
aaawwwwww flowers ;-)
