A Cowrie looks like what lays beneath the venus mound. A vagina. The shape of the Cowries and vagina fascinates me more. The bigger hole, the beautiful shape.
Vaginas in its different size is the most beautiful thing in the world.
My three vaginas oops Cowries. #Diary #QueerWomen #GayWriter #cowrie

Cowries are my favourite things in the world. And I have three of them.

I placed one on my head, one is for my wrist and my favourite of all, Lakshmi is my necklace. Lakshmi is the most beautiful cowrie that I have and I wish I could use her on my hair. She's the beautiful and also the smallest. My biggest cowrie is on my head.
