I didn’t realize how serious things had gotten until my last working vibrator gave up the hum. Things have been tight financially for a long time, not leaving much extra for “frivolities” like sex toys, and way back when I promised myself that I would replace my then recently-deceased rabbit vibe with a superior silicone model I never dreamed that I would be embarking on a new career that would really require the maintenance of a decent collection of toys. Things have changed however, and even though there’s not any more money in the bank (the website still takes more $ to run than it makes), I couldn’t go any longer without restocking my toy box. Trying to be a web-whore without toys is like trying to be a chef without spices.
So I put in a few bids on eBay, and have just received a box full of cheap but serviceable goodies, including a new rabbit vibe (not, alas, the silicone model I long for) and a dual-bullet number that has two speeds - off and too damn fast. Also included in the box was one of the cheesiest pairs of handcuffs I’ve ever seen, only distinguishable from a child’s toy because they’re made of “real die-cast metal!” Still, they ought to look good in pictures. ;-p
