Dual-Purpose Design
While watching Man Shops Globe's tour of Alessi kitchenware, I reflected at how often cooking implements are mistaken for sex toys. (This is of course particularly inherent in Italian design, but you would be amazed at what people assume when you buy a sturdy, well-made spatula or plane grater.)
Naturally I have to wonder if sex toy designers have the reverse problem, given the recent explosion of food-safe silicone casting. "Oh it's a bundt mold!", "Look, a multi-speed immersion blender!" or, "You make carpaccio with it; I totally saw it on Iron Chef America last week."
. . .
Or maybe not so much.
Also, turning thirty is spectacularly dull. Then again I have not injured myself this year, so. That's something at least. Hm.
