A part of me always wishes I’d become an engineer or mechanic – something where I knew a lot about a bunch of knobs or switches. Instead I guess I know a lot about some very different knobs and switches! There was even a time at Babeland when long-time employees got a mechanics jacket – I guess maybe I wasn’t the only one who harbored this secret fantasy.

Thank you to BoingBoing for pointing me toward this rad new Female Mechanics Calendar that not only has some awesome photographs but also explains a bit about each person’s job and shows many pictures of what they do. For a great example, see below – how badass is that!! To top it all off, the photographer is female as well. As she says:

This unique and dynamic calendar includes automobile, motorcycle, hot rod, hybrid, marine, jet aircraft, bicycle, and race car mechanics. The project challenges stereotypes of the typical tool-girl, pin-up calendar by showing real women mechanics working in their shop environments.

Indeed!

It’s our little way of doing a happy dance – a dance we’ll hopefully be doing for the next four years.

Here are some of the fantastic toys you can get to celebrate:

Pocket Rocket Jr: If you’re over the moon about the change in presidency, celebrate with a vibrator that will send you into orbit. Perfect for long plane trips or days when you’d rather not open your 401K statement. Was $14, now $11.20

BNaughty: If the promise of an economic stimulus plan leaves you feeling, well, stimulated, consider indulging yourself with this velvety-smooth bullet vibrator. Four speeds, designer colors, a waterproof exterior, and a wired battery-pack for sharing make this vibe just the ticket for a fast recovery plan. Was $35, now $28

OhMiBod: Just because you didn’t get invited to the Inaugural ball doesn’t mean you can’t make sweet music of your own! Plug this pulsing, music-responsive vibrator that right into your iPod (or other music players) you can enjoy orgasm after orgasm-in stereo. Was $69, now $55.20

Did you make any New Years resolutions? Did any of them involve the G-spot? If so (and if not), then you’re probably going to want to check out the G-spot and Female Ejactulation workshop happening at our Soho location this Sunday night at 8:00pm. I’m co-teaching it and I’m really excited about it. We’re going to have some fun trivia, teach you what the G-spot is and where to find it and talk about fingers, toys and penetration. You’ll even be able to win a prize!

If you feel like you might need a G-spot refresher or you’re just diving in to G-spot explorations, I promise you’ll learn everything you need to get started.
