They caught my eye in the far right corner of the jewelry display  case in  Diana Kane’s new store on Seventh Avenue near Berkeley Place.

I was shopping for a friend’s 50th birthday present and wanted to get her something very special. There were a lovely pair of coral earrings designed by Diana Kane herself that I was mulling over.

Still, my eye kept wandering over to to three gold and silver items that were about the size of a cigar. In fact, I wondered if they were for holding stogies. For a moment I thought they might be tampon holders. Then I figured out what they were.

"Are those…?" I asked the saleswoman.

"Yes…"

"Vibrators, right?" I said.

"They come in gold, platinum, and steel."

"Wow." I said.

"They’re very quiet, very discreet," she said. 

"How much are they?" I asked. 

"$195-$395 dollars. I can’t wait to sell one to someone," she said. "They’re waterproof, too."

"They’d make a great Valentine’s Day gift," I said.

"You know, you’re right," she said.

I thought of the bright pink and blue plastic vibrators they sell at the Pink Pussycat on Fifth Avenue. These are so, so much…classier.  I found more information about them on Diana Kane’s website: You can buy it on-line. Or go ahead, just buy it at the store…
