Looks sorta sad and plain doesn’t it.

The city said in an order that the Christmas season, "qualifying as a holiday for children and families, requires sobriety in urban decorations," in particular when using "traditional symbols that distinguish Christmas."
Norma Rossetti, who launched an Italian sex toy e-commerce website this year, said Friday she complied immediately with the order. But she defended the so-called "Tree of Pleasure" saying the objects chosen were elegant and not obviously X-rated. She said her goal is to break down taboos by making sex toys "completely normal everyday objects."
Rossetti acknowledged some complaints, but said most passers-by during the one-day display were enthusiastic. http://apnews.myway.com//article/20131213/DAALHPA83.html

If you didn’t have any kids around, would you decorate your tree with these? How about putting a tree like this in your bedroom?
In my neighbourhood the people would STEAL those decorations I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteROFLMBO Willie...and would you be one of those appropriating some of those decorations? ;) *snicker*

LoL at Wilma's comment. Err, think I prefer more traditional decorations ... although a tree in the bedroom may have merit :)

That was a good one wasn't it Roz. I think a tree with a lot of fun toys could be very interesting in the bedroom...woohoo! ;)
DeleteHugs and Blessings...

I definitely think a few would go missing. No, even with no kids around I wouldn't decorate a tree with sex toys but maybe one of two erotic ornaments:)

Oh yes Ronnie...think more than a few would go missing. ;)
DeleteRoz suggested one in the bedroom which could be interesting.
One or two erotic ornaments would be nice on the 'public' tree. ;)
Hugs and Blessings...
Cat
I may even need a manual myself to understand what some of those are used for......
ReplyDeleteNo, not really appropriate for Christmas outside of a dungeon.

Ami
ROFL Ami...you are too funny...a dungeon? Seriously? Oh they aren't that bad...just put the tree up in the bedroom and choose a new toy to play with each day...an 'advent tree calendar'! ;)

Okay call me a prood but not on a "Christmas" tree. In the fun little sex shop I blush in, fine. But then the sign in the fun little sex shop reads, "Please don't laugh and condemn. Your yuck may be my yumm."
ReplyDeleteStill for me Christmas is Christmas. Not interested in sharing my yuck or yumm with anyone but Luke (and blogland, apparently)
LOL Clara...love your "In the fun little sex shop I blush in..." I would definitely not use it as my main aka public tree...I enjoy my ornaments and such...but it could be a fun in the bedroom as Roz suggested. ;)
DeleteYou are definitely sharing your yuck and/or yum with blog land along with your Luke. Hope you're having a good time!
Blessings...
Cat
Hi Cat, I am far too sweet and innocent,( okay okay maybe prudish ) to have such a tree!! Made me laugh though
ReplyDeletelove Jan.xx
Sweet and innocent Jan? Really? LOL Not really prudish...just more traditional where your Christmas celebrations are concerned. ;) Might consider Roz's suggestion of one in the bedroom. ;)
DeleteHappy you enjoyed it. :D
