IDEA/Switchboard is hosting a presentation by artist Lucy Kimball tommorow
night at CUBE
Need something to tickle your fancy? Come and find out about V-I-P, the next
generation of sexy toy.
What: V-I-P product launch event in Manchester
When: Saturday 5th February, 7pm
Where: CUBE, 113-115 Portland Street, Manchester
Supported by IDEA.
An exciting British e-commerce venture has announced what it calls a new
kind of networked product
- the Vibrating Internal Pager. It's an ergonomically designed internal sex
toy that vibrates when
it receives pages, like regular pagers.
V-I-P owners can use it in one of two ways - you either subscribe to the
group page, triggered by
callers into the V-I-P Vibration Line; or you can have your own private
number to distribute
personally. Callers can leave messages on the Vibration Line, or, in the
future, personal
information and even photos on the web site.
"The V-I-P is the first non-sleazy sex toy," says V-I-P product manager
Lucy Kimbell. "It's more
designer object than Soho brown paper bag. We're expecting enormous demand
and it will only be
available over the web."
V-I-P Group - the company behind the pager - is urging customers to reserve
theirs early at the
company web site. (Reservation is free and does not constitute an order
until confirmed.) The pager
toy is designed for use by both women and men.
The V-I-P will be available for Valentine's Day 2000, while the company
finalises its rigorous
safety tests. Until the full launch, the company is keeping under wraps what
the V-I-P pager toy
actually looks like. "The whole point is that it's fun to wear - it's not
something that'll be on
display," says Kimbell.
