A member of the Johns Hopkins University
laboratory that developed the Instead menstrual cup
made and wore this Halloween
costume (near left) in
1995. She presented it to MUM in a ceremony
at the museum attended by many of her
laboratory co-workers.
Shoes embellished with menstrual tampons
complete the outfit.
Beth Littleford of Comedy
Central TV wanted to wear this
costume during her interview of the MUM
director in the museum for the "The Daily Show" in
December 1996 (read
