At Toys in Babeland we’ve always taken some issue with the “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” saying, because we happen to know plenty of women who’d take their vibrators over their jewelry any day. Well, when you’re rich and famous, you don’t have to choose! If you’re David Beckham, the sexy soccer player, you can make sure your lovely wife Posh has both in the form a 1.8 million dollar jewel-encrusted vibrator. No kidding! Beckham had the vibrator designed as a gift for Posh by a London strip-club owner. Apparently, it’s revving up to be a hot gift this holiday season; word has it Mick Jagger’s already got one on order. Of course you don’t have to be a millionaire to give a great vibrator. Check out Toys in Babeland’s selection, which has vibrators for folks on a budget, as well as those on a spree!

Ok, so she wasn’t arrested, but a woman in Tennessee had her business license suspended for selling the vibrating Ducky at a flea market. Now, you know this Vulva believes in the right of all citizens to bare arms, I mean arm bears, oh, I really mean play with sex toys, even if they look like ducks or bears. But even I had some problems with this incident. First off all, the woman is in the business of selling sex toys at home parties; that’s the license she had suspended. The city didn’t think she should be displaying them in public. She filed a suit against them, claiming the vibrating duck is a child’s toy. Ok, is it a child’s toy or a vibrator? If she sells sex toys for a living, I’m guessing it’s a sex toy, in which case she ought to just be up front about it and accept that it’s probably not suitable garage sale fodder. And really, don’t flea markets make you think of bargain-basement, possibly used junk? And who really wants to be sharing that kind of ducky love? Not even this vulva’d buy someone’s used sex toy. Get me my very own rubber ducky and while you’re out it throw in the sponge vibe. Tub time just got a lot more fun.

Remember the saying, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach?” Australian men prove there’s some truth to the old adage. In a recent survey, over 65% of men polled said they’d prefer a candlelit dinner to sex or good conversation (as opposed to 46% of the women polled.) And two-thirds said they’d give up the sports or the fishing trip in favor of spending a romantic weekend away with their mates. I must say, this warms my heart, and makes me a little bit hungry. I only hope these romantic Aussies remember to take along some of Babeland’s romantic toys like the Lover’s Paintbox or the Kama Sutra Honey Dust, since both will satisfy a variety of appetites!
