Anyone not living in New York these days–like yours truly–might have missed The Village Voice‘s awesome 2007 Best of NYC issue, which was out on the streets last month. Along with suggestions for great restaurants, bars, and stores, you’ll find in the issue the following sexy New York-related recommendations. I wonder who could have written them. Possibly a girl who spent the summer in the city having way too much fun at sex toy shops and gay bars? Ah France, when it comes to kinky consumerism, you’ve got a lot to learn…
-Best Place to Creep Out Retail Employees by Shopping for Do-it-yourself Bondage
-Best Store for Sexifying Your Bathtub
-Best All-you-can-eat Aphrodisiac
-Best Anatomically Correct Lollipops
-Best Sex-Toy Shop for Sniffing Leather
-Best Revamped Sex Toy for Masturbating à la Sarah Jessica Parker
-Best Place to Hear about Scrabble Fetishes

I think I’ll hold out for the real thing…Specifically one attached to an attractive, atheletic attorney ;-)

God help you Greg!
You might want to see a doctor about being diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder.
I am fine now and thank God for that!
Best of luck and health to you in your future :-!
So sad….

and I hope you can’t sleep tonight either!!!
Wow. What a trip! Last night I couldn’t sleep so I got up in the middle of the night and guess what movie was just starting? “Heaven’s Gate”. That’s right. I didn’t even know there was a movie by that title. But there is! I can’t even begin to tell you all the ‘signs’ I recieved believing that we were meant to be. I made a new scarecrow this summer.
His name was Greg. My best ever. Tonight after I got home…out of the blue, it just fell over!!! I swear to God!
I guess persistence isn’t omnipotent. And you definately epitomize unrewarded genius! I’m going to meditate and pray daily now that God will remove any love and affection in my heart for you!

How could you be so cruel??? Knowing how much I adored you and loved you!!!! I just don’t understand. You knew all I’d been through and I opened up to you and trusted you more than any man I ever had before, truely believing you were sent to me from God. I was so shy and nervous around men that when you swam up to my dock, I couldn’t even sit down at first. Why did you do this to me?

Here’s my new “revelation”…you obsess about your body because you don’t know how to deal with your feelings and emotions. Running is a metaphor for your life!
God forgive me but I really think hate you now Gregory William Hinrichsen!

Dont listen to anyone, have all the sex you want. I think NYC and LA are the two hotspots for sex toys.
