Glitter is Always an Option
So... I like pretty things. I've always liked pretty things. And when I started getting kinky and looking for toys, I didn't stop liking pretty things.
Actually, I insist on all my toys being pretty. If I'm going to use it on myself, I want to like the look of it. This can occasionally cause problems when I'm shopping. There have been several times that finding an ugly but well-made toy was easier than finding a "decorative" quality item that is still fully functional. (Although it does depend on what look I'm going for. I do still appreciate the more "traditional" BDSM styles that tend to look a bit tougher. Black leather? Mmmmm. )
According to Almost, my obsession with having pretty toys is mildly ridiculous. Granted, him finding it at all ridiculous just makes me want to be more so, because he's positively fantastic when he starts sending very scary dots my way (...)
Back to the point at hand though. There's something so FUN and exciting about wearing around a jeweled butt plug or using that pretty glass wand with swirls in it. Or the flogger that's striped in your favorite colors and feels soft and fuzzy when you brush it lightly against your skin (in contrast to the sting when it's used not-so-lightly ) I think maybe it's the same idea as wearing lingerie can make us feel sexier.
Anyhow, is anyone else like this? Enamored more by a toy because it LOOKS pretty and/or cute. Or am I just an odd duck?

And I'd NEVER call you an odd duck kittenlyss! An odd moose, or an odd platypus (they have a head start in odd anyway), but never an odd duck.
But, agreed, nlg is fantastic. Oh, and if I have to be an animal, a duck might not be so bad. They have corkscrew vaginas/penises and have violent duck sex. True Facts about the Duck It sounds very interesting.
But I'm so glad to hear that someone besides me likes pretty things to play with!Posted 07-27-2014 at 11:59 PM by kittenlyss -
I definitely agree! It was one reason why I wanted some glass toys (they just look *better*) and one reason I liked the Lelo wand instead of the Hitachi one (it's the only wand I've seen that actually looks nice.) And when there's a choice of colour, that's even better
I don't have any sparkly toys, though... I think that'll be the next item on my wishlistPosted 07-28-2014 at 01:32 AM by Siren -

As for sparkly toys, I just got my first: a sparkly dildo. *happy dances*Posted 07-28-2014 at 07:43 AM by kittenlyss -

@NLG: I don't know if I could pick a favorite, but the sloth one is pretty adorable. I love watching them with people who have never seen them before though. Their reaction is even better than all the stuff you hear and see.
Also, violent sex with barbed penises? It's like ducks are MADE to have kinky sex.Posted 08-25-2014 at 11:43 AM by kittenlyss -

There was so much to explain, they almost passed over the part where the barbed corkscrew penis explosively unravels at high speed. Explosive high speed barbed corkscrew penises are not something you see every day.
I'll never be able to look a duck in the eye again.Posted 08-25-2014 at 01:34 PM by madl -
@madl: He is hilarious. He has a whole bunch of those "True Facts" videos, including one about Morgan Freeman that had me in tears. And if I'm scarred for life, I'm taking somebody down with me.
@kittenlyss: I never thought of it like that - it was more of a TMI regarding the animal kingdom for me.
And I really like how you posted about pretty, glittery toys, and now we're talking about kinky ducks...Posted 08-25-2014 at 01:44 PM by naughtylittlegirl -

@NLG: I just feel like it's not quite fair. We should come as build-a-people. With Mr. Potato Head parts or something. I don't know that I'd always want to have the use of an explosive high speed barbed corkscrew penis, but I do think the option might be nice. And, I love how blogs frequently start out on one topic and just sort of devolve into weird off-the-wall conversations. What can I say, I'm a girl of many tastes.

This is true. I'm still holding out for the first Build-A-Man workshop. Can decide exactly how much stuffing to put in and pick out a heart. And, yes, I'd like customizeable appendages. To be honest, I'd never THOUGHT of a high speed exploding penis (or a barbed or corkscrew one either). And I might not actually like it. But it does bring new meaning to corkscrew as a verb. So for now, I'll continue keeping an eye out. And maybe one day there will be a duck dildo, at least.
