“Bra Ball”
I have seen the Eve Ensler play, “The Vagina Monologues” three times now, including one where my dear friend who recently graduated fromm college, was cast in the play on BU campus.
Crowds of Women and men at the “Super Dome of Love”
I remember Amanda our Code Pink Boston Organizer at a recent meeting asking if people wanted to go to New Orleans, LA to see this celebration of women who want to stop rape and sexual abuse forever. Marina’s theatre troop at the very end of the play invited people to go to New Orleans ato see this play being preformed by “big name” actresses so I decided to go and see this once-in-life time event.

I stayed in a Hotel very close to the “Super Dome of Love,” and was awe-inspired by all the love and caring atmosphere of the “rock concert” of 30,000 plus women (and men) supporting the awareness of rape and sexual abuse all over the world. The numbers were alarming and the descriptions of the monologues being perfomed by Jane Fonda who I saw 20 ft. being driven away in a small golf cart waving at everyone Rosario Dawson, Shriley Knight, Amber Tamblyn, Monique Wilson and Jennifer Beals The L Word and Doris Roberts. Faith Hill brought the house down along with Eve Ensler with their singing and dancing on stage. I laughed, was sad and felt empowered after it was over and proud to be part of all of this.
