NEW BEAUTY BUZZ (tales from the fully fornicating society--sex toys go luxe)

NY POST ^ | February 5, 2005 | SARA STEWART and MEGAN MILLER

.....Rykiel says the new shop isn't trying to warp young minds or destroy the city's virtue — the boutique is going to be off-limits to children......

Whew, that's a relief (/sarc).

Now who do people like Rykiel think they're kidding?

Another chip out of the moral bulwark of Western Civilization.

The steady drip, drip, drip of permissiveness on the culture.....have all taken their toll.

The sum of mankind has been reduced to its private parts.

...drip, drip, drip of permissiveness...

Ewwwwww.

Well if society ladies want to buy discreetly wrapped sex toys for their hubbies, its their business. Capitalism at work.

LOL. You musta read something in that comment that I never intended.

"This is just one more indication of how the moral climate has deteriorated over the last 50 years in this country," fumed Frank Russo, spokesman for the American Family Association.

What? More orgasms means The End Is Near?

Then I'm a one-man eschaton imminentizing squad.

No one is forcing women to buy sex toys. If they're offended they can shop elsewhere. No need to get all huffy about it.

More information than I needed. I think.

There's more to this cute little rubber ducky than meets the eye.

Rubber Ducky, you're the one,
You make bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you;

Woo woo be doo

Rubber Ducky, joy of joys,
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Ducky, you're my very best friend, it's true!

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo

Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby

Rub-a-dub-a-dubby!

Rubber Ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.

Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby

Rubber Ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of -
Rubber ducky, I'd like a whole pond of -
Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you!

Doo doo, be doo

“ ...these new items from Henri Bendel are all actually well-disguised vibrators.”

And I suppose you disguise a 'strap-on-tool' as a hatrack?

[visualops]

The toys are for women not their husbands, usually.

My only objection is a window display featuring S&M. That does not need to be in full view of children. Besides which, it's just tacky.

[Liz]

....depends....does it look like a screwdriver?.......

[Liz]

....if they get enough requests, they will..........

[goldstategop]

Well its either self pleasure or get the guy all excited beforehand. You can't have too much pleasure before love on the eve of Valentine's Day! ;-)

So I guess that was Rykiel's inspiration for the electric product.
