Do I look lost?

Anyone that knows me, understands that I am not into Valentine’s Day. I find it to be the biggest commercialized day of the year. Hallmark makes a ton of money off people that don’t know how to show/tell the ones they love how they feel. Actually, Hallmark makes people think they can’t put into words how they feel as eloquent…when truly words mean nothing, it’s your actions each and every day that speak louder than words.

With that rant out of the way…I choose not to celebrate this commercialized “holiday”. But this year on my way home to Kentucky from Ohio, I decided I would stop at the Lion’s Den adult store since I have yet to see one in Kentucky. Their location is a great midway stopping point. I got gas, lunch and then went over to the Den to browse.

Shocked, I found this place was not empty. There were quite a few customers walking around checking out the new selections. One woman was working behind the counter and we exchanged hellos. I wasn’t there 2 minutes and she asked me, “Do you need any help?” Nope, think I got this covered, thanks.

I make my path around the joint, again she jumps from out behind the counter, to ask me if I need anything. I’ve been there a total of 10 minutes and this over eager broad is bugging me again. This time I respond with, “No thanks, just looking. By the way, do I appear to need help? I mean come on, I’m a frequent flyer.” She looks dumbfounded.

“No…no…no. I’m sorry. I just wanted to be helpful.” she stammered out. I truly was offended. This place is busier than I would have thought for a Sunday, let alone Valentine’s Day. I stopped to surprise Princess (my boyfriend) with some fun stuff. I won’t reveal what I bought…but we had fun Sunday evening.

Here is my thing, the porn industry wants women to feel more comfortable with purchasing XXX items, how about we start locally by telling the sales people to back off. How about the world realizes that women like porn too. I luckily found it all funny…but left feeling like I was ousted in the local porn shop.
