I am very suspicious of the concept of celebrity, especially in the modern age. Not only can just about anybody be an ‘influencer,’ ‘personality,’ a star, but we are inundated with the most trivial news stories about our modern-day royalty. From the latest Ariel Winter Instagram picture to news about the doings of Kim and Kayne (have you heard the latest, things aren’t so good with them; oh my!) to just what shows are binge-worthy, never before have we all had such instant consistent access to what our brightest and best are into.
So, when I read this recent post (coming via an interview she did on Sirius XM’s Barstool Radio) about how Miley Cyrus decorates her home with sex toys, I had another of those “Hmmm, really?” moments.
When he female guests enter her home, does the “Wrecking Ball,” singer invite them to have a seat…on her Sybian? Does she mix cocktails with a vibrator? If one were to walk into Miley’s home office, would one see that she uses Ben Wa balls as paperweights? Yes, I’ll admit, I am intrigued as much as I’m slightly repulsed, not over the fact that Cyrus would use her adult plaything this way but that once again, I am reading another celebrity-news story made to prick (tee hee, I said ‘prick) my prurient interests.
Chris and I are on and on about sex, kinks, do unto others and yourself any which way you like, infinitum here (and here, and here; just a few places you can find Licking Non-Vanilla). But so often, I wonder if the seemingly oh-so-naughty tales we are fed about singers, sport’s stars, and actors are simply created by publicists or the stars act slightly more ribald than they are, so they can make the blog-sphere for the week.
However, Ms. Cyrus uses her toys, all the more power to her. I’m just not so sure I want to imagine it.
