Good Vibrations

(Eva, Rabbits and Why I Hate Posh Spice)

I am a fan of sex toys. I think every girl should be handed a vibrator on her fourteenth birthday and told, "Hold out for this, honey." I really believe it would cut down on more interactive forms of teen sex. But this post is not actually about teen sex. It's about sex toys for adults.

Last night I watched "The Fabulous Life of. . . . " on VH1. It was all about stars and their sex toys. It was late and there was nothing else for me to watch while folding laundry. Okay, I was also curious. I learned about the high end sex toy line they sell at Fred Segal (Jimmy Jane). I learned that Eva Longoria is a big fan of the Rabbit vibrator and gives them as gifts (for some reason this makes me like her a lot, this idea that she has the same vibe that my friends do). I learned that Britney bought a lot of costumes when she was married to K-Fed (not surprising, really). And I learned about Posh Spice's favorite vibrator.

Posh Spice, for those of you able to avoid People magazine and E! Television, married David Beckham, the soccer star. She looks like a plucked chicken, but apparently David likes that. For her birthday one year, he bought her a platinum, diamond encrusted vibrator. It has an attachable diamond necklace so that you can actually wear the vibe. And it cost two million dollars. I'm not sure which horrifies me more - sex toy as jewelery or spending two mil on a sex toy (that isn't a trophy husband or wife).

For the record, the Rabbit costs less than 100 bucks. Having seen Posh's vibe, I can guarantee that the Rabbit does way more. .. .um. . .tricks. So what's the point of the platinum vibe? I guess that you can get off with your jewelery. Talk about class.
