Feb. 14 is creeping up, and the evil Valentine's Day monster is almost upon us. So before this holiday is given a chance to rear its ugly head once again, I propose a new holiday: Vaginatine's Day.
Vaginatine's Day is my self-proclaimed holiday that celebrates female bonds and indulgences. I'm not talking about one of those "I hate Valentine's Day" bashes, where a group of bitter girls gets together to burn their ex-boyfriends' possessions. Vaginatine's Day's is a fun-loving alternative to Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day has been built on unrealistic expectations that leave voids no matter what your relationship status is on Facebook. These expectations have been pushed on girls by the commercialization of love and romance by the media to pressure us into buying or expecting things on Feb. 14. More often than not, these ideas leave us feeling unfulfilled. This is because we either don't have a significant other to cater to our Valentine's Day fantasies or their attempts don't live up to what we anticipated.
On Vaginatine's Day, you can abandon these expectations and just celebrate being girlfriends. You can kick back with a Ryan Gosling movie, pretend calories don't exist, and drink something sweet and bubbly. Heck, you could even throw some mud masks on and host a slumber party.
So call up your friends, make a Facebook event and spread the word. This year, do away with out-of-date traditions and start a new tradition with Vaginatine's Day, a day celebrated for girls, by girls, with girls. No Cupid allowed.
