Oprah Made Me Do It!

I have this amazing aunt who guest hosts on HSN and every time she goes on to demonstrate a new product I like to watch, it makes me feel like I'm getting to see her. The only problem is that I should never be allowed to watch any home shopping channels or infomercials ever. I get totally sucked into what they are selling. I think I NEED that product and how did I ever get along without it. Why I think I would need any scrap booking products when I have never scrap booked a day in my life, I do not know. Well that's not entirely true, tried it one time and gave up. Too time consuming and I was thinking I would rather pay someone to do it for me.

So I stay away from these channels but I still hit Walgreen's for their "As seen on TV products". Do I own a snuggie? I have one for every member of my family. Do I use them? Not so much, I prefer my thick blankets or heavy quilts. I am often times disappointed in the product but I keep coming back for more. Sometimes there are those products that do work well, like the bra clasp.....love them, have them in every color!

Tthis brings me to the Queen of talk shows, Oprah Winfrey...Do people even say here last name anymore? I put Oprah back on the Tivo when she announced this was her last year of daytime talk. I'm thinking these episodes are going to be good.... they have also been playing "the best of" episodes. One day Oprah is talking about how 3 out of 5 women in America are watching porn.....follow me here, I know it's a big jump from the clapper to porn but it all connects. Anyway she has porn star Jenna Jameson on to talk about how she revolutionized the way women were paid and taking charge in the porn industry. So I'm all for women empowerment so I was loving this episode. The talk was pretty candid and I learned that Jenna is huge in this industry and that her video The Masseuse is considered one of the biggest sellers of all time . This movie is supposed to be considered the #1 movie for women to watch. Well infomercial addict that I am I know I must see this movie.

This is where the adventure begins, minds out of the gutter, this is not a play by play of my bedroom encounters. I tell my husband that I must see this movie, as you guessed he had no problem with that. I enlist the help of my girlfriends and at a girl's night I explain that I need to go to Sirilla's( I think this is the name, used to be Priscilla's, lawsuit so name change). This is why I love my friends, strength in numbers and in we go. If you're looking for customer service this is not the place, the girl at the counter said they didn't have it but she barely listened to the question. There is not an alphabetical system in place so we just started reading titles...Too funny. If you ever need a laugh, this store is the place. We find a whole Jenna section and BINGO, we find it!

The research begins, I tell my husband I have the video. He was like "you paid $29.95 for that?" "Hello, I needed to see this video, it's for women!" I have now seen the movie and really I don't know what the hell they were talking about. The movie has a storyline and prolongs the intimate moments but the in between moments are creepy. The guy is a virgin but he has no problem asking The Masseuse for little sexual favors. When he gets her to his place he has a whole weird bondage supply shed and puts some hanger in her mouth. Can I say "So NOT Sexy", I did and I will. Basically porn is for men and all I have to say for this little escapade it that "Oprah Made Me DO it!"
