Janelle Monáe has made it crystal clear she’s not afraid of “Pynk” matter, regardless of where it lies on the body.

Her music video for “Pynk” was a celebration of all sections and organs that can provide pleasure or body positivity. The vagina is just one example of a body part Janelle gets hype about — so much that ladies in her video were wearing vagina-like pants and now they might actually go on sale.

“We may be working on that,” Janelle told People. “I’m so tickled and honored that people are talking about the Pynk pants, I think that it’s so cool to have discussions around women’s issues and women’s bodies, I think it’s amazing.”

Janelle had more praise for the vagina and why it’s bomb, and why she chooses to talk about it in her work.

Swipe through for a deeper dive into Janelle’s pynk mind.

“Sometimes I think people interpret those as vagina pants, they call them vulva pants, they call them flowers, but it just represents some parts of some women.”

“There are some women in the video that do not have on the pants, because I don’t believe that all women need to possess a vagina to be a woman. I have one I’m proud of it, but there’s a lot of policing and controlling that people are trying to have over our vaginas and when you think about female genital mutilation, when you think about all these women’s issues, I wanted to make sure we were discussing these issues but we were also celebrating each other.”

“I wanted ‘Pynk’ to be a celebration of women who are unique, distinct, different, may be different from one another but when they come together, they create something magical and special.”
