It's been almost ten years since I began work on vagina vérité®. Hard to believe that it’s been that long! This project has been and continues to be the most meaningful work I’ve ever engaged in.
While the tangible result of the work is the series of vulva portraits, the core and the purpose of the project is the so-many stimulating, fun, moving and question-provoking conversations that began when a friend asked me: do you like the way your vagina looks?
Thank you to everyone who has participated in creating vagina vérité®. It is because of your encouragement, support and participation that vagina vérité® exists.

To date, I’ve made
112 v-portraits: proud and unabashed vulva portraits, each beautiful and strikingly unique.
The women who have made v-portraits with me so far range in age from 19-60, are of diverse backgrounds, families, sexuality, experiences, life-styles, as well as comfort-level with their vaginas, vulvas and their bodies in general. What they have in common is the trust they placed in me—for that, I deeply thank each one!
I look forward to sharing this by exhibiting widely, and also by publishing a book of our v-portraits.
I have completed photography for the book and am currently writing the introduction text to go with it.
I am thinking about doing some kind of book exhibition using a mock-up of the book [meaning a version that I'd make myself prior to publishing]. I'd like to get lots of feedback and record it [audio, video, written] and make it part of the publishing proposal.
Any ideas you have toward making that happen are welcome and appreciated! You can reach me at alexandra [at] leavethecastle [dot] com.
Sincerely,

In order to publish vagina vérité®, I'll be submitting a publishing proposal, which includes among other things, a description of the market for the book.
Your input as to whether you'd buy the book would be very helpful in preparing the publishing proposal for vagina vérité®. Take the v-book survey.
Informal gathering
where you can engage in discussion and view the v-portraits. vv-Salons take place in NYC (the schedule varies). To be informed about upcoming vv-Salons,

Vagina first-times, taste and feel, virginity, vagina style, do you like the way your vagina looks?...
Participate by responding to one of the vv-questionnaires.
