When a local video crew for the BBC's The Sunday Morning Show in the U.K.
(see a quarter of the way down the page) shot a segment about this museum one cold
and dreary night, they insisted on first shooting toward my house on the front lawn
while a man waved a leafy tree branch in front of a spot light, creating a spooky shadow moving
across the house. How better to darken the mood of menstrual museum weirdness
than Halloween effects? That disappointed me. It pleased me even less when inside the museum
my interviewer popped a nasty question in front of the active camera. It must have
amused the sleepy telly viewers. Even Howard Stern didn't do that.
Luckily I no longer remember what the question was.
In Comments from Italy, near the bottom of the page: Prof. Pecorari mailed me
"Befleckte Weiblichkeit–Spuren tradierter Menstruationsmythen in der Werbung
für Produkte der weiblichen intimhygiene," ["Sullied femininity–traces of menstrual
myths in advertising for women's sanitary products"] by Dr. med. Jael Backe of the
Universitätsfrauenklinik Würzburg, Germany, published in Gynäkologisch-geburtshilfliche
Rundschau; 37:30-38. 1997
that included this impressive ad (bottom of page) for the German Camelia menstrual pad.
