Did you know that Alabama has a ban on sex toys? Seriously? I heard this on the radio and had to look it up for myself. Yep it's true. Wow.
I giggled when I read the quote "...as the 11th Circuit pithily and somewhat coarsely stated: 'There is nothing `private' or `consensual' about the advertising and sale of a dildo.'" In my head this was said by a very puckered Gayle Ruzicka - who I am convinced is having a secret piggy love affair with Chris Buttars and is the woman I vote (tied with Sheri Dew ) most in need of a giant dildo.
For once I'm glad I live in Utah. A ban on sex toys would put a serious kink in my Holiday Fund Raising Activities.
Hats off to the woman who has thrown caution to the wind and opened Pleasures, a Drive Through Sex Toy Store. How awesome is that? Just like a bank. I'm thinking Utah needs a whole chain of these called "Zions Spank."
I do think it is absolutely hilarious that, in order to skirt the law, at Pleasures you cannot purchase a sex toy without first filling out a "medical questionnaire describing the health-related reasons for [your] purchase" because Alabama law also "makes an exception to the ban on the sale of items designed for the 'stimulation of human genital organs' if the sale was for 'a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial or law enforcement purpose.'"
Okay, I'm sorry, what legislative or judicial purpose could there possibly be for the stimulation of human genital organs??? And law enforcement??? Ewwwww. That cannot possibly be legal.
Filling out a questionnaire as to the health related reason for purchasing a dildo.
I AM SO SURE.

LMAO! I'm sorry...but I could not possibly work in the depositorium of Zion's Spank! I am, however, highly interested in Customer Service or Trouble Shooting! It would be an entire existence of sex and hilarity!

Interesting... Hilarious.. You Qwack me up:)
California is to da Herb as Alabama is to
a) Yellow Hammer
b) Cotton
c) Soybeans
d) Sex Toys
Test of the idiot made laws state by state, would be way more fun than a test on the state flower, bird, Capital, and what the state motto is.
"would put a serious 'kink'..." okay, now that was a GREAT one that you didn't even mean, I'll bet!
Only in Alabama. The legislation was likely written by Bubba from Climax (yes, Virginia, there IS a Climax, AL) when he found toys in his wife DooLeen's chester's drawers. I mean, chest of drawers!
Love you girl. (Am interested in your musings on Marie Osmond's interview on Oprah. So sad, the suicide. So sad the missed opportunity.)

Still haven't told us how your sex toy side-line business is going. Still holding parties?
Funny.
Not really. It was going really well but who has the time - with a full time job, writing several books, producing a feature film, acting teaching & coaching, single motherhood...
