Nope, no cloth vulvas today. While perusing this month’s RWR, I saw an ad that used my two weaknesses in advertisements: Really Nice Fonts, and an invitation to thank people who don’t often get thanked, like your critique partner, agent, mentor, publicist, or editor, etc.
Ninth Moon specializes in gifts for the ‘inspired writer,’ and I have to admit, I dragged Hubby over to the laptop to show him some fantastic gift ideas should he be drawing a blank, like my favorite, the B.I.C.H.O.K. charm, which totally cracks me up.
So, need gifts for a writer you know and love? I haven’t ordered anything so I have no idea how easy or supportive the process is in terms of customer service, but they win points for unique product line and a well-designed website.
Wow! That really is beautifully designed.
Well, it sucks that I already have all my gifts, because now I’m positively itching to get this one for my s.o.!!!
Of course, there’s always his birthday *eg*
Isn’t that a great one? I have it hanging from my monitor. Picked it up at National this year.
I guess I have a problem getting my motivation from inanimate objects, which is why I like these so much:

Just recently heard Lewis Black kvetching (as only Lewis Black can do) about some jagbag CEO, who’d ripped off his company, buying a $16,000 umbrella stand. Mr. Black reasoned it must be a very rare piece indeed, since most people use the bathtub as an umbrella stand.
He decided it must be made out of Martha Stewart’s vagina…and was such a desirable commodity because nobody knew she had one.
How about this one, on Etsy.com:
the TRASHY ROMANCE NOVEL charm bracelet! So many great covers to be worn around your wrist! I think it’s awesome – and I would totally wear it. If only it were the time of year for shopping for yourself…
