With people asked to self-isolate and distance socially, the most natural thing would be to pull the curtains shut and drop the lights.
In the areas most heavily impacted by the coronavirus, sales of sex toys are surging. The Womanizer brand reports seeing a 60% jump in Italy, a 40% rise in France, and a whopping 71% increase in Hong Kong during the first three months of the year. Forget the hoarding of toilet paper. Gentside in the UK says people are stockpiling condoms, which has lead to shortages.
Jade was born and raised in Detroit Rock City and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Tom Petty, etc. In high school she tried multiple different styles from cheerleader to goth but couldn’t do gymnastics and couldn’t get her eyeliner dark enough. She settled on jeans and a t-shirt, playing sports and making normal situations overly awkward. When she’s not making bad jokes on the radio you can find her shanking golf balls into the woods on the golf course and drinking beers at the bar. She has a strict two shot limit when it comes to tequila. Jade enjoys writing and talking about everything happening in Detroit Rock City, our Detroit sports teams, golf, and her fear of robots.
