I'm just back from a sex toy party. Like a Tupperware party only with vibrators and so forth. It was interesting--I've always begged off Tupperware parties but this sounded like a lot more fun. Lots of creams and lotions (most of which were far too fragrant for my tastes) in addition to the vibrators, dildos and other similar items. Actually most of it was pretty tame stuff but I still came home with a bag full of goodies!

That was a sentence I never expected to hear from you....wow....

Surprise surprise!

Damn, gotta send me a catalog! I'm in need of some new wares ;)

LOL! I keep forgetting that most of my LJ friends don't know me in real life. Let's just say that there's more than one reason that I'm a particular devotee of Aphrodite ;).

It was a lot of fun, but a lot of the stuff was kind of mundane--which makes sense, they are trying to sell to people for whom the idea of sex toys (or, as they call them, "bedroom accessories" :)) is a new thing. It was really nice to be able to see the display models of the items before buying, though--I usually buy online, which is great because you can find almost anything that way (Blowfish being my fave online sex shop) but you can't always tell just what you're getting that way.

Well, I figured that :P

Yeah, I'll have to check some stuff online one day...

I remember when I used to sell Yellow Pages (a job I miss, but lost when they moved the office) I had a customer I had to call who was an owner of company who distributed "fun party" materials. They were "Spice of Life Parties." The woman was a lot of fun to talk to, and she refered to her products as "massagers." On the phone I told her, "Yeah, my wife has a few 'massagers.' One of them she calls B.O.B."
"Why does she call it Bob," was the response?
"Its her Battery Operated Boyfriend," I said.
Needless to say she and I shared a laugh, and I increased her advertising and sold her in a nearby phone book as well. She later told me that the saleswoman for another Yellow Page company was real "embarrassed" and didn't want to talk to her, and she was happy that I took the time to learn about her business.

Wow, you'd think that anyone who worked for a phone company in that capacity would be prepared for anything--if she had a problem with comparatively-innocent "marital aid" parties, what happened when she got to the escort services and so forth?

"Battey Operated Boyfriend?"--that's cute! :)

That sounds like lots of fun! Sadly, I think my friends and I are too immature to do something like that together and Gavin and I are too shy to go to one with strangers. At least we have several interesting stores to explore when we get further settled here! ;)

(BTW - love your new mood icons!)

This one was women-only--I think it would be much more fun with the guys there!

Thanks! That Portrait Illustrator Maker is so much fun! :)

You should get pictures of all the "goodies". I'm curious to see what one brings home in a party bag from one of those. . .

Well, I did get a free penis-shaped pencil topper, but actually I just bought a bunch of stuff! :)
