“I think that it is very rare to find this kind of absolute love.”
– Audrey Tautou
Audrey Tautou is a sweet petite thing. She is a so beautiful and charming. It is easy to see why Jean-Pierre Jeunet first cast her in the sweet and tender Amelie and again in A Very Long Engagement as Mathilde.
A Very Long Engagement is set in France near the end of World War I in the deadly trenches of the Somme, in the gilded Parisian halls of power, and in the modest home of an indomitable provincial girl. It tells the story of a young woman’s relentless, moving, and sometimes comic search for her fiancée, who has disappeared. What follows is an investigation into the arbitrary nature of secrecy, the absurdity of war, and the enduring passion, intuition and tenacity of the human heart.
INTO: Purity, constellations, the tide, the medicinal values of herbs, divinations, tea readings, wild flowers, nutritional superiority, multiple orgasms, and YOU!
NOT INTO: Vanity, arrogance, lies, apathy, junk food.
MAKES ME HAPPY: The smell of new books, the change of the seasons, sunrises when most of the city is asleep, hot chai tea on cold days, cold chai tea on hot days, arthropods, cephalopods, epiphanies, feeling a connection with other human creatures, tender moments that make my eyes swell with water, quiet mornings, noisy nights, interpretive dance with the boyfriend when no one is looking, silliness, inside jokes, self reflection, self esteem, self worth, cosmic design, morning sex, electrodes, diodes, and potentiometers, paper mache, fruit trees, semantics, tenderness, truthfulness, connectedness, understanding, flora and fauna.
MAKES ME SAD: Slaughter houses, dairy farms, veal boxes, battery cages, and cattle prods.
HOBBIES: Cooking, crafting, creating.
VICES: I keep my nails short so I can dig into life.
I SPEND MOST OF MY FREE TIME: In the produce section of your local grocery store.

In my ever present quest for the quintessential G-spot vibrator, I was browsing the merchandise at a local sex shop when Doc Johnson’s Harmony Slim G stopped me right in my tracks (see pic). It was 7 inches tall but only 2 inches in diameter, the head of it was curved in a perfect 45 degree angle. It looked like a sexy robot finger! Pelvis-pulsing, I plucked it off the wall of the sex shop, and the cashier rang me up and even threw in a pair of triple AAA batteries.
The Harmony Slim G is non-porous and phthalate-free so it’s safe for use internally. I’m always extra cautious when shopping for toys that I plan on using for any sort of penetration. Taking a toy out and sniffing it before you buy it is always a good idea; if a toy emits any type of plastic-y or chemical smell, it’s most likely made with phthalates and I would steer clear. (Phthalates are a chemical used to make plastic flexible and studies have shown that they may not be good for us!)
A dial on the bottom of the toy provides speed variation in the vibration, but I found it just as effective without any vibration. The slender shape and the angle of the head made finding that sensitive spot a cinch! The Slim G is also waterproof and ready to handle all fluids, bodily or otherwise. I suggest taking this toy into the shower with you for an extra steamy time.
The Slim G is like the best finger bang ever – leave everything up to leverage and play some tunes with a little rhythm (I suggest “Mr. Roboto” by Styx) and you’ll be rocking your way to squirt city in no time!
