Heart Smart Cart
There are only two shopping weeks until Valentine's Day! And, while I understand how many of you believe that this holiday has suffered from the curse of Hallmark and Victoria's Secret and those chalky little heart candies, isn't it a good excuse to splurge on a few new trinkets for the bedroom? I mean, do you need an excuse to buy a new flogger or some Astroglide Warming Liquid? Exactly. But, if you do, I'm afraid it's too late to host that sex-toy party. No, it's time to shop, shop, shop if you're going to have anything delivered in time to surprise your lover or potential lover. And since Word Oyster is about nothing if not service (wait a minute… I thought Word Oyster was about the sex lives of beetles and fish), I'm here to pass on a few recommendations.Now here's an idea that is long overdue: a rechargeable vibrator. Yes, it's a little pricey. But think of the cachet of having a sleek silicone vibe with a docking station! This model is more realistically shaped, has a very nice curve… wait for it… and it has this nifty little joystick (so to speak) on the non-business end for controlling the variable speeds and pulsing patterns. However, if that's a little outside your budget, how about the dual-action Insatiable G Vibrator? It's half price this week. And while it uses batteries, it has a certain Japanese charm with its purple jelly G-spot vibrating dildo and nubby clit stimulator. Take a look. And if anyone has tried this one, please leave a comment. I'm thinking the price is right.
Let's see. What else? Definitely check out the Art Toys page over at Blowfish. Their prices on glass dildos are very good (and I definitely recommend having one of those around!). Plus you should check out the decorative butt plugs for that festive, holiday effect. While you're at Blowfish, you could also look at the Sex Cushions. These are definitely pricey. However, I own a Wedge and can assure you that it is a lot better than two or three randomly placed pillows. Think about it. Maybe you know someone with a crafty streak who can make knockoffs.
For those of you into spanking and such, how about this Heart Spanker from Good Vibes? It's a stiff leather strap with heart-shaped cutouts. Supposedly, it will leave little heart shapes on your bottom's bottom… at least in the beginning. I would suggest having a digital camera at the ready, since there's no reason your bottom shouldn't be able to share in the visual fun… later.
Finally, there are bodyperks. They aren't really for Valentine's Day, but I had the link left over from the summer. What are Bodyperks? Fake erect nipples to wear under clothing for that "playful look without the need for cosmetic surgery or uncomfortable push-up bras." OK. Right.
If anyone else has any ideas, please share!

hmmm… to me, V-Day is only good for one thing: the day after all the chocolates and conversation hearts go one sale!

Of course, Mark Morford is saying this morning that nothing says love like the gift of senseless plastic surgery

hehe Well, some of these do look interesting… though I’m tempted to agree with JeN on her V-day views!
The rechargable bit could be… I can just see it sitting there, side by side with the cordless phone. The phone rings, and reching for the phone, your head is suddenly struck by weird vibrations. Um.. no. hehe
