BAUBO

BAUBO means "belly", she was the ancient Greek goddess of belly laughter - the kind provoked by indecent gestures and lewd jokes.  BAUBO is famous for having lifted the spirits of a dejected goddess by lifting her skirts and exposing her vulva - thus causing the goddess to laugh.

BAUBO personifies that aspect in every woman that is shameless and sexual.  She reminds us to let our hair down and play - BREAK SOME RULES.  Sexuality is a positive force.  Only when we take on other peoples judgment by feeling shame does it become destructive.  Shame destroys our creative force and our joy.  When we lose those we are unable to help ourselves let alone be a positive force in others lives - so BE SHAMELESS.
