Out and In with the Old

Ruby and I decided to have a Roomie Day of Fun. After becoming roommates, great friends may, at times, spend less time doing friend things together. Sofa time, sharing Patsy's delivery replaces quality time spent bar hopping and dinner out on the town.

We spent Sunday shopping-Hell's Kitchen Flea Market and Century 21, eating yummy Ethiopian food...and well...more shopping--West 4th Street. Ruby and I have served as each other's sex toy consultants. With the demise of my Rabbit Pearl (a cord problem, not dead batteries), which she gave to me as a 28th birthday gift, we decided that a shopping sexcursion was in order.

Prior to our fun day Sunday, I conducted a bit of internet research. So many options and imitation Rabbits. From bullets to bunnies. The Only product to tickle my fannie....ummm fancy was still my oldie but goodie, Rabbit Pearl, as I am unable to afford The Victor. The Victor is a pretty little platinum pet with bands of diamonds encircling the middle of and oblong shaft. Though at a starting price of more than $35,000, I must leave this luxurious indulgence to Robb Report readers.

We made our way from Seventh Avenue South toward Sixth down West Fourth. Tic Tac Toe and The Birthday Suit are my favorites, as they provide an array of pleasure (and pain if that is your pleasure) products for every desire and fetish (every girl should own a red custom fit corset, shouldn't they?). While Ruby was examining a pair of boyshorts...complete with attached dildo, I saw it, shining brightly and pink...a lovely, brand spanking new...Rabbit Pearl. After leaving with our little, discreet shopping bags, Ruby wanted to stop by Cubby Hole for a drink. I was a bit tired and needed to have my eyebrows threaded at Unique Threading. I ran down to the platform for the F train and while waiting, turned when HE was walking down the stairs. I had not seen him since I left NYC to live in Australia. He saw me when I saw him. "Frankie!", he said, sounding surprised, "What. What are you doing here? What happened to Australia? What. What's up?" "Josh! Hi!", I said as he hugged me tightly, "Great to see you. What great timing! Oh, yes, Australia; well it was great, though it was not for me. Now Ruby and I live together in Chelsea". Ruby, Josh, and I worked together years ago at my first publishing job after college. Cooper always suspected Josh as having a crush on me, though I paid no mind to the speculation, as I had been so in love with my pre-violence boyfriend. Now I wondered if Cooper had been correct and if I would mind if he had been. Here we were, two years later, going the same way on the same train. "That's funny, I live in Chelsea!", exclaimed Josh. We took the train two stops to 23rd Street. As he said, this was "Funny", though what was even funnier--he lives in the building five doors down. I allowed him to walk me home, still amazed at our timing. Eyebrow threading could be saved for another day, I decided as I went inside to polish off my new toy...or allow it to polish off me. --Frankie
