It's been almost two years since the Babeland blog started posting regularly. Bloggers can be mysterious beings - who are they? What makes them tick? In a two part entry, we invite you to get inside the heads of the blogging babes of Babeland. First up is our intrepid blogger/blog administrator, Dallas.
How long have you been working at Babeland? Almost four years. I've been shopping at Babeland for eight years.
Why did you start working at Babeland? I discovered the store my freshman year of college and was a devoted customer and fan every since. Babeland helped me figure out that I wanted to go into health education - even before I worked here. Getting a job at Babeland after I graduated seemed like the next logical step.
Favorite customer interaction: That would be hard to say - I've had so many. It could be the septegenarian couple I spoke with who needed to know the location of the
clitoris. Or, it could be the middle aged man whose wife announced that she wanted him to spank her. Or, it could be the guy I spoke with just the other day who asked me, without reservation "so does the
g-spot really exist?" and then listened openly as I explained that yes, it does!
Question you get asked the most: "What's the best _______ ?" I completely understand the urge to buy "the best" thing. In an age of
Consumer Reports, there really is a "best" digital camera or flat-screen TV. Sex toys don't work that way though so I love this question because I get to remind people that everyone is really different so what we're going to do is help them find the best toy for
them. That's so much more fun for everyone than just pointing to something and saying "here, buy this."
Favorite sex toy: Again, this is a tough one. My favorite vibrator right now is the
GiGi - it just suits all of my needs. My first vibrator was the
Silver Bullet - an oldie but a goodie.
Favorite lube: I never go anywhere without
Babelube. Seriously.
Toy you're most looking forward to: I can't wait to try the
SaSi! Anything that simulates oral sex is a must-buy in my book. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that one day someone will make a good vegan flogger.
Favorite Sex Blog: I'm addicted to blogs so picking one is difficult. I always read
Violet Blue because she's the hottest techno sex geek I've ever seen. And I love the
Daily Bedpost, not only because Em & Lo rock, but because I know Dr. Kate!
Your life outside of Babeland: I'm currently getting my masters in public health studying sexuality and health (what else!). I've been heavily involved with the reproductive rights/justice world, working especially closely with the medical professions. In my spare time, I read, cook, do crosswords and rollerskate.
