moonlettuceSo, to fully tell this story I've got to go back a couple of years to the Thursday before Connotations 2006. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
temaris, lost_house and I were doing the last minute buying stuff for the con thing and we ended up in Ann Summers. (Do outside of the UK and Ireland have Ann Summers? If not, it's basically a sex shop for hen parties and people who want to think they're being kinky.)
Whenst in Ann Summers we noticed a display case among the vibrators. Turned out that the people who do the Rampant Rabbit had released a special edition. A special edition with a pink fluffy tail and diamanté around the base. For £200. (Hence being in the locked case.)
We were all O_o
o_O
O_O
£200. For a vibrator. (Honey, for that price it had better also make breakfast in bed and mow the lawn...)
The woman in the shop was all "Ooh, I see you admiring; would you like to see how powerful it is?" and we were all "Actually, we were thinking how much of a bitch that tail would be to clean considering where you'd be sticking that thing..."
Needless to say, we left without any of us purchasing said vibrator, but with a tin of knob biscuits for the con.
Fast forward a while and change locations to my work. One of the women I work with used to be an Ann Summers rep in her spare time. (She'd go around to people's homes and host Ann Summers party where people got drunk, played penis ring toss and bought vastly overpriced knickers.)
Any way we'd been chatting and I'd mentioned this vibrator to her, in the "I wonder if any actually got sold..." kind of way. "Oh," says she, "I've got one in my party stock..." Not the Rampant Rabbit version, but still one with a pink fluffy tail and diamanté around the base - although this one sold for less hefty £70 price tag and, yes, some people had purchased them. (I'm still wondering about the cleaning issue at this point, but hey, let's just get on with the rest of the story...)
I thought nothing else of it, until Friday, when she walks up to me in work, hands me a pink box and says "Merry Christmas!" with a grin.
She quit being a rep for Ann Summers a little while ago and is in the process of getting rid of all of the stock she had in. And she remembered the conversation and thought of me. Yes, you all know where this is heading ::grin::
I present to you my Christmas present:
It's got it's own stand. Dude! I've been given a display vibrator for Christmas. Seriously, I'm thinking on the mantle in the front room. After all, it'd be a heck of a talking point...
