such a pretty girl with such a dirty mouth

The childhood threat of washing my mouth with soap if I continue to talk dirty has turned over time to the suggestion 'such a pretty girl with such a dirty mouth’. The direct oppressive subject also moved from the mother to the patriarchy and the role of the first one was transformed into a caring guide to passivity. The further in life, the easier it would be to give up and apply it, but that means acting against yourself. I made small soaps that are easy to use in any situation where dangerous opposition is building up in us. They are cute, appetizing and fulfill their task of making you sick.
