Etymology: Vajazzle

Vajazzle (v.) to bedazzle one's vagina with crystals.

I first came across this word early this March during an episode of the Bob and Tom Show - a morning radio show known for its visiting comedians and unusal guests. That morning, the producers had invited a salon professional to the show. Over the course of the program, one of her usual clients received her bi-weekly services. This included the gluing of several small crystals to the peripheral area of the clients vagina. Her response? "I'm vajazzling her."

If this term reminds you of the classic 80s and early 90s toy known as "The Bedazzler", congratulations - you were probably one of the lucky kids who had one. For those of you who didn't, "The Bedazzler" was a craft tool that could somewhat-permanently affix rhinestones and other glittery objects of girlie joy to whatever material you could get your hands on. (Sorry about those curtains mom.)

Evidently, generation Bedazzler has grown up and is still looking to add a little sparkle to its life. But as "vajazzle" implies, generation B has started moving the glitz from their backpacks to their vaginas. Let's just hope that process doensn't still involve that stapler-like contraption.
