Is a vibrator an appropriate X-mas gift? (From your mom?)

Poor Carrie Fisher. Besides never being able to live that whole Princess Leia making it with Jaba the Hut sex fantasy thing down, she's also had to contend with alcoholism, pill addiction, bipolar disorder and the el weirdo-ist "mom boyfriend" ever, who, as Jezebel points out, prompted her mother to give her a rawther unusual erm, stocking stuffer, (heh). In her new memoir, Wishful Drinking, she writes:

"When I was about fifteen, my mother had started dating a man named Bob Fallon, and my brother and I called him Bob Phallus, because he came equipped with exotic creams and sex toys. You know, aphrodisiacs. Well, actually, Anglo-disiacs, because we're white. Anyway, thanks to Bob, that Christmas my mother bought both my grandmother and myself vibrators! As unusual as a gift like this sounds, you have to admit that they are ideal stocking stuffers. I mean, you can fit the vibrator into the long top part of the stocking and still be able to get another cute little gift in the toe! Well, I have to admit, I enjoyed mine, but my grandmother refused to use hers. She was concerned that it would short-circuit her pacemaker. She said that she had gone this long without an orgasm; she might as well go the whole way. (And that pacemaker, by the way, was later recalled)."

See, it totally makes sense, you know, because it perfectly fits in the stocking and stuff. Um... Wow.

    Great blog! That is kind SO WHACKY. I love when girls buy a vibe for their BFF, but ewww on the buying a vibe for your Mom's boyfriend. That is wrong on several levels...though I like where he is coming from!

    I love that Hitachi Wand pictured in your blog. We sell it at our home pleasure parties and on our website...every SELF RESPECTING lesbian owns one...which is how you know it's a really AB FAB toy! :)

    That is a link to the Hitachi Wand on my shopping site and as ususal, all SHINE readers can use the code Shine9 for a free 8oz edible vanilla massage oil with purchase!

    I guess I should goand buy her book. sounds pretty damn funny.

    Wait a minute...you say that the mother's BF bought the vibrator, but the text you're quoting says the Mom bought it. Well which is it? If it's from the BF (which the text contradicts) that would be extremely suspicious as well as inappropriate. If the Mom bought it for her, well, let's just say that a Mother and a Daughter have a special bond and they know what feels right or wrong.

    Debbie Reynolds...such a scamp. And here we were, always thinking that she was the girl next door when she really was a closet tart. How funny, no matter who actually bought the vibrators.

    You were only 15 when you're Mom bought you a vibe? Dang, thats a little too young! But, hey if you were maybe 20ish and your Mom bought you one, then I guess it would be ok!

    Sorry to say, but I will not be buying a TOY for my girl or giving it to her as a gift when she stills a teenager... NOW that she is married we do talk about toys but I am not brave enough to buy her one. I guess you can call me old fashion but I think it’s inappropriate. I just feel its not right.
