I can no longer resist the urge to do a regular post called “celebrity sex toys”.  For those of you who think I’m going to use this post to out some of our celebrity shoppers (and oh, there are many), I’m sorry to disappoint you. We do honor our commitment to customer privacy, so until we get a celebrity spokesperson (taking all volunteers), or someone from the A-list gets snapped with a Babeland tote in the world at large, you won’t read about them here.

No, in this column, I get to fantasize about what celebrity I would bestow a Babeland sex toy upon. And as you can see from the title of this post, my chosen object, is the Vamp  dildo. Now, I can hear all of you vampire-lovers already. You think it will be the sexy Rob Pattinson from the Twilight movies (his vampire character’s sparkly skin is the inspiration for the texture on the Vamp dildo).  No way, uh uh. Even though, for those of you who’ve seen the sexy-yet-chaste first installment, it would make some sense for “Edward, what-I-have-a-penis” character to use this dildo on his ever submissive Bella. Or maybe you think it should go to one of the future stars on the TV show The Vampire Diaries or the popular nocturnal hotties on the HBO show True Blood. Nope again. The celeb who most deserves the Vamp is none other than Sarah Michelle Gellar, for her portrayal of the Buffy, the notorious Vampire Slayer of a decade ago. She kicked some serious vampire butt in her day, and was such a strong female character on this show, that I have no doubt she’d put that hot little Vamp dildo in its place. Literally. If you want to see a most hilarious video mashup, check out Buffy taking on Edward.

And as an aside, the Vamp dildo is selling like hotcakes at Babeland. I don’t know if we have a lot of goth-lovers or custies who love good Halloween-inspired sex toys, but either way, if you’re going to get on this bandwagon, do it soon, since this toy is a limited edition (just like Buffy).

If you’re in New York and you have kids (or plan on one day having kids) and you want to raise them in a way that is sex positive, then you really don’t want to miss this event. It’s a repeat from last year and it’s absolutely fantastic:

Sexy Moms: Raising Sex Positive Kids
Wednesday, October 28, 07:00PM, FREE!
at Babeland Brooklyn, 462 Bergen St Brooklyn

This is one Sexy Moms meeting no parent should miss. Whether you’re expecting, a new parent, or raising teenagers, talking to your kids about sex and sexuality is a crucial part of parenting. And October is National Sex Education Month of Action, so there’s never been a better time to talk about educating your kids about sex.

At this meeting, Sexuality Educator Amy Levine will talk to parents about raising sexually healthy children and how to keep open lines of communication about sex and sexuality. What’s age-appropriate? What’s a teachable moment? How can you talk about sex without feeling uncomfortable? Levine will answer these questions and more, at a meeting that every parent should attend. For more information about Levine, visit her website.

This meeting is co-sponsored by The New Space for Women’s Health and Babeland. Free refreshments will be served.

If you haven’t seen Isabella Rosselini’s Green Porno series yet, you’re really missing out. Green Porno is a series of short films conceived, co-written and featuring Rosselini that are all about the sex lives of bugs, insects and other creatures. The sets and costumes are home-made and beautiful and sometimes even a bit creepy. Overall, the films have a very playful and fun feeling to them – it’s certainly something that could help adults learn a bit about biology.

In celebration of these fantastic films, Babeland is hosting a contest! The prize? A free copy of the Green Porno book and a bottle of Babeland Naked Lube. What do you have to do to win? Simple:

Watch the Green Porno videos and then match one of Babeland’s eco-friendly (green) toys to a particular video. Tell us why you thought that particular insect/animal would use that toy. We’ll judge the winners November 5th so you have two weeks to get those videos watched. Enter your responses in the comments.
