Prude To Nude: Learning To Love My Womanly Parts

One brave woman poses for a sculpture that shows there is beauty in all bits.

British artist Jamie McCartney is working on a sculpture called "Design a Vagina." Using only volunteers, he is making casts of 200 women's vaginas, and displaying them together in 40 block panels.

This is the story of how, for one of those volunteers, his message really hit home.
