Who Is Vaginalizing the Tree Trunks of Williamsburg and Greenpoint?

Anybody who regularly reads the blog Newyorkshitty by a certain Miss Heather of Greenpoint knows that she's disgusting and hilarious, going around the hood photographing dog poop and other vulgarities, then commenting on it in a way that fuses Dorothy Parker and South Park. Today she's going on about her cat's stopped-up anal glands. But in the process she notes something at once genius and disturbing: Someone in the area is painting the inner part of knots on tree trunks pink in a way that makes them look, well, distinctly vaginal. Miss Heather calls them "tree tw*ts." [Newyorkshitty]
