This little sucker's been getting all sorts of press lately -- and by press, I don't mean the official kind, although I think it's been getting that too.� I mean "press" in the sense that people, including our staff, can't seem to stop buzzing (heh) about it.� After all, it's basically an updated, more versatile version of the classic "
Cadillac of vibrators," the
Hitachi Magic Wand... except it's battery-operated, not plug-in

.� And it's probably the most powerful battery-operated vibe we've got.� And for many people (including me), that's nothing but a good thing.Let me tell you about my
Hitachi Magic Wand.� I've had mine since college, which is now, uh, twelve years ago (yikes, and also yay).� I can't think of anything else with moving parts that I've owned for twelve years that hasn't required a trip to a mechanic, a trade-in, or a reluctant burial.� And certainly, I haven't owned a machine that's brought me anything
close to the amount of pleasure I've received from my
Magic Wand.� Despite the fact that I've worked at Babeland for upwards of seven years now, and that I have the opportunity to enjoy pretty much any sex toy I want, I always return to my trusty
Hitachi.� It never lets me down, and it's been my supportive and loving primary partner through hookups and breakups alike.Basically, what I'm trying to tell you is that I won't stray from my
Hitachi Magic Wand for just any toy.� I almost feel that using another toy would be like cheating on my
Magic Wand, and my misplaced neuroses just can't handle it.� But using the
Mystic Wand isn't
cheating, exactly... it's more like acknowledging that the
Magic Wand and I can't be everything to each other, and that sometimes I need the portability and power of a battery-operated version.� And as dedicated as I am to the classic, retro lines of my
Hitachi, I'm drawn to the updated curves and body-safe materials of the
Mystic Wand.� Plus, they're both made by
Vibratex, so it's a departure without being an out-and-out betrayal... right?� Right?Whatever justifications I might drum up, the simple fact is that I'm opening up my relationship with the
Hitachi to include space for the
Mystic Wand.� It's taken me a while to get here, but I'm ready.� I've grown up since college, and the
Mystic Wand's ready to meet me in the most grown-up of ways.
