From the site:
My female merit badges illustrate female "rites of passage" as well as the myriad physical manipulations women undergo to achieve cultural ideals of beauty, such as weight watching, whether or not to shave or wear makeup, etc. I've created tiny replicas of female products, such as a birth control pill pack and a pregnancy test. The miniature scale and meticulous, hand-embroidered surfaces convey my impressions of growing up female in our culture.
The images can be found here.
Some Sydney sex workers put together a Whore Merit Badge project a few years ago, but alas it is not online.

My friend at Uni is a heaving into textiles and badge making so I sent her the link :). Pity the whore ones aren't online, I bet they were cool :)
There may be some photos floating around the Whoreganisation archives somewhere. If I can find them, I'll ask if I can put them online.
