Cult following

Oddball artist Jessica Marie has become a cult hit - selling women sculptures of their own vaginas.

Jessica, who was inspired by the Vagina Monologues stage show, creates miniature replicas on necklaces from photographs supplied by her clients.

She claims that wearing your own vagina around your neck empowers women who are unsure of their own sexuality.

"I started making these things to celebrate my vagina and to take it back. It's mine now.

"I hope that my work will inspire people to look at women differently," said Jessica, whose prices start at 11 GBP from her website, www.vulvalovelovely.com.
