rant about the Monster High live action movie, because i watched it last night (includes spoilers)

ok, so i did not like it.

first of all, it's a musical -- what was the point in that??? it just seems like they were trying to fill in gaps, like they didn't know how to get some things across so they just sang it i will admit the dances were pretty good, but i feel like it was just unnecessary there was one decent scene that was more musical-y that i liked (it's between Deuce and Clawdeen, and only them) but other than that i didn't like the singing parts at all

now about the characters Frankie: in the og monster high, she's female, but in this she has they/them pronouns there are multiple scenes where she doesn't know what a high five is, but she knows about gender??? Ghoulia: changed her entirely, like she cant even speak in the og movies, but now she can?? and the way she acts is not accurate to her character at all also in the og movies she's essentially best friends with Cleo, but now they barely even talk to each other?? Draculara: changed her entire personality, at the start of the movie she's all antisocial and pretty rude - she is not like that at all, she's more like a social butterfly in the og's, and i don't like that they changed her that much also she's a witch, for some reason??? Clawdeen: first off, she's part monster and part human, which is not accurate at all i get that it was necessary for certain plot points, but that doesn't mean its good also she's now an only child? what the hell happened to Clawde, he was one of the best characters in the og movies, and without him there would be no one for Draculara (i loved their relationship) Lagoona: ignoring the fact that she had barely any lines (maybe five, throughout the 90min movie) she's best friend with Cleo??? no, just no, in the og movies she doesn't like Cleo at all, and i absolutely hate that they made them "beasties" Deuce: he was actually one of the more accurate characters, and the actor who played him fit the role really well the only thing i don't like about him, was the whole thing he had going on with Clawdeen - they're meant to be 'together', and i really don't like that dynamic if they were just like close friends, that would work but i don't like them being in a romantic relationship other than that, the characters were pretty good, except for a few of my faves that got maybe three lines throughout the entire movie (namely, Heath) i will admit that the character designs were great (as in clothing), and so was the outside of Monster High

the main antagonist in this is a monster known as Hyde's kid, who is pretending to be a teacher (Hyde, as in 'Jekyll and Hyde', wherein Jekyll is the human half while Hyde is the monster half), while i do like the incorporation of Jekyll and Hyde in this, i feel like they could've done it a lot better they made Hyde a scientist, which i'm pretty sure isn't accurate, they did however have a potion Hyde made that makes you completely monster (if you have a human part), which would essentially get rid of the Jekyll side of him, which (based on what I know about him - not much) I do think he would do I mainly liked this because you pretty much don't see any sort of mention of 'Jekyll and Hyde' in modern day media, so it was pretty nice to see this (however badly, it was portrayed)

the ending was good, in the sense that Clawdeen got accepted as one of the monsters, but bad in the way that it set up for a sequel that focuses on Draculara's witchiness it gives the feeling that they knew the movie was gonna be a hit and that a lot of people would watch it, even if it isn't accurate to the og monster high movies at all

all in all, plot was decent, sets were pretty good (except whenever Draculara was using a cauldron), characters and the relationships between them need some work. probably a 4/10, wouldn't recommend unless you're watching it to make fun of it, or didn't like the og Monster High movies

Embracing a New Era: The Heir Series Celebrates the Women's Game in Jordan Brand's Basketball Legacy

Jordan Brand is stepping into a transformative era of basketball with the launch of the Heir Series—a silhouette that draws inspiration from the women’s game while remaining accessible to all players on the court.

Inspired by dynamic athletes like Kiki Rice and Kiyomi McMiller, the Heir Series highlights the significant role women play in the evolution of basketball, showcasing how their style and self-expression are reshaping the sport’s culture.

At its core, the Heir Series embodies Jordan Brand’s belief that insights from women athletes can elevate all players. This philosophy is reflected in the shoe’s design, which emphasizes running and cutting—key elements of the women’s game that are increasingly recognized as essential for all basketball players.

In essence, the women’s game is inspiring young athletes worldwide to embrace basketball, and the Heir Series channels that inspiration into a performance-focused silhouette.

Rhyne Howard, a Jordan Brand athlete and guard for the Atlanta Dream, emphasizes this shift: “We’re witnessing a pivotal era for sports, especially women’s sports. This shoe allows us to leverage our understanding of how women play to create products that benefit all athletes and advance the sport.”

The Heir Series features a protective foam exterior layer paired with a drop-in Cushlon 3.0 midsole, designed for a low-to-the-ground feel that enhances flexibility during movement. A rubber herringbone traction pattern provides quickness and control, while an adaptive cage, inspired by the teamwork central to the women’s game, offers support and comfort, minimizing the risk of ankle injuries.

“I love how light and comfortable they are, and I feel well-supported when I run and cut,” says Jordin Canada, also a member of the Dream and the Jordan Brand roster. “It’s a fantastic shoe, and being part of a design created by women makes it even more special.”

The Heir Series also showcases bold colorways that celebrate the women’s game. The Main Character colorway embodies the confidence of female basketball fans and Jordan Brand athletes, featuring bright markings and an abstract animal print. The Her Collective design combines the favorite colors of each female athlete on the roster, while the YSY colorway offers a unique interpretation inspired by Jordan Brand athlete Yang Shuyu’s home country of China.

Kiki Rice shares her excitement: “Understanding that the Heir Series was designed with insights from women athletes is a testament to the changes happening in women’s basketball. Contributing to the design is something I truly value. The aesthetic and color blocking create a powerful narrative for advancing the women’s game.”

The Heir Series builds on Jordan Brand’s legacy of innovation, which includes the 1998 release of the women’s Air Jordan OG and numerous models tailored for Maya Moore. Recently, Player Editions for athletes like Kiki Rice and Kia Nurse have debuted, alongside extended sizing available for all Jordan Brand basketball footwear.

The Jordan Heir Series silhouette is now available globally at jordan.com and select retail locations. Embrace this new era in basketball and elevate your game with the Heir Series.

Monster High doll collecting Questionnaire - answered

Finally had time to take photos for this thing. Hope it’s worth the wait!

1) Introduce yourself and tell us how long you’ve been collecting Monster High dolls! Hey y’all! My name’s Tori and I’ve been collecting Monster High since I think...either the end of 2014 or early 2015. Before S5 of the webisodes aired.

2) How many MH dolls do you have?

Can I just say “a lot” and leave it at that? I kid I kid. I have like 27 Monster High dolls. That may not seem like a lot but I swear I just had 13 like four dolls ago...fingers crossed I didn’t forget to count anyone. That’s a sign of too many dolls :’D I also have two vinyl MH figures (Frankie and Draculaura) and a Rock Candy Draculaura figure.

3) Is Monster High your favorite doll line? Why or why not? Yes. Yes it is. Forever and ever. Took me a little while to realize it but as I accumulated dolls I realized most of my passion for collecting (as well as creative inspiration) revolved almost entirely around Monster High. That line is perfect for me in every way: tied to/inspired by classic Monsters, bold and edgy gothic fashion, a unique art style...I can’t tell you how much I’ve evolved as a creative individual since embracing my love of Monster High.

4) Who’s your favorite MH ghoul?

I wish Cupid had stuck around in MH a little longer. I would’ve loved an elaborate dress (and makeup) for her!

5) Favorite Manster? My favorite Manster is actually Andy Beast from Skull Shores. Since he never reappeared in more than background shots and Mattel never produced a doll of him I’ll go with this guy:

6) Do you own any dolls of your favorite ghoul and/or manster? How many? I own one Deuce doll, his Boo York doll. He came with Cleo and I love Boo York Cleo so I had to get both. I actually hate how the writing team handled Deuce and their relationship in the movie: as far as I’m concerned it isn’t canon. (He fell so far from Ghouls Rule! Definitely the best part of that movie including his friendship with Frankie.)

I own many Frankie and Draculaura dolls. Stay tuned for pics~

7) Do you own any playsets? If so which one(s)? If not, is there a reason?

I found this at a thrift store. It didn’t have any accessories though. Still, I’m glad I own it <3 Considering I photograph Draculaura more than any of my other dolls. I do wish I had another playset--either the catacombs or the Deadlux high school: they’d make such great backdrops for photography! Sadly I have no space.

8) Of the original main ghouls (including Ghoulia, Spectra and Abbey) which is your favorite? Got any dolls of them?

TA~DA! I’d actually also love to add Ghouls Rule Frankie to my collection but she’s not an immediate must-have.

9) Favorite character with only one doll release?

I know there were technically two but they’re essentially the same doll so it doesn’t count.

10) Character with too many dolls (in your opinion?) Uh...Toralei honestly. I don’t like her, I’ve never liked her but she pops up a lot more than I expected. Is this so there’s a matching bully in some of these sets or is she that popular and I’m the odd one out?

11) Any character you would’ve liked to see in a doll line that didn’t make it? (i.e. Lagoona in Sweet Screams or Draculaura in Power Ghouls, etc) Apart from another C.A. Cupid doll in like Dawn of the Dance or Dot Dead Gorgeous (can you imagine??) I would’ve loved to see Draculaura in Freak du Chic. I’m aware she had a Scarnival doll but that’s not the same thing. I want a doll with a similar design to her circus mini. I also think adding Lagoona to the “Scarily Ever After” line would’ve been neat (a la Little Mermaid, of course.) I know we saw her as a Mermaid in Great Scarier Reef” but I would’ve loved to see one with a fairytale twist.

Also more Sweet Screams dolls. Best line ever <3

12) Any ideas you would’ve liked to see in a doll line? An eighties glam-rock n roll band stylized after Jem and the Holograms but with a gothic edge. I’m not talking Fierce Rockers, I mean all of the core ghouls (with Ghoulia as like the manager) along with a better-designed Clawdeen. I didn’t mind what we got but she wasn’t “outrageous” enough for me.

Also a “vintage-themed” line as an homage to the ghouls’ famous parents (including Operetta.)

13) Is there a “grail” MH doll for you? If so do you own it? I feel like my grail dolls keep changing. For a long time it was Collector Draculaura, then OG draculaura, then Dawn of the Dance Draculaura...then Ghouls Rule Frankie and the whole Sweet Screams crew. I guess I can’t make up my mind ^^; Truthfully I have most of these now so I’m pretty content with my collection. I still want a couple older dolls (CLAWDEEN and maybe OG Lagoona) as I’ve said and I must have all the Sweet Screams dolls. Beyond that I’m good.

14) Thoughts on the cancelled Ever After High crossover? Okay so I will be forever annoyed Mattel didn’t wait to reboot everything until after the crossover. That said what I saw in the storyboards and posts floating around didn’t really impress me. There’s so much potential here and I feel like Mattel took the easiest route possible with it. If you’re going to crossover these two lines a) go ALL out with the designs and b) INVOLVE C.A. CUPID. Plus we’ll never know now if Astra Nova is the blue fairy/her daughter.

15) Thoughts on the 2016 reboot faces?

Why Mattel. Why was this necessary.

With Vampirina and now Super Monsters you really should’ve stuck with your older audience. Or saved the “Monster Family” line exclusively for said younger audience and just scaled down the original line to remind your older crowd, collectors included, why we love this line.

Heck, at this point I’d be happy with detailed collector-only lines released on like Amazon. A limited line is better than no Monster High at all, especially if it’s highly detailed and exceptionally spooky.

16) Thoughts on the 2016 “Monster Family” line?

So I like the idea behind this line but loathe the articulation. I held off buying Alivia and Kelpie for a long time because I hoped for better quality with later releases. Whoops. All of this said there was potential here to attract a younger crowd exclusively with a brighter and less-articulated family line. Siblings or not they could’ve avoided directly crossing over by merely mentioning the OG ghouls, instead focusing on friendships and relationships with their parents. That’s what I’d have done at least.

17) How bout the SDCC exclusives? What was your favorite? Do you own any? No and I wish I did ;-; While I wasn’t as impressed with them as the Ever After High exclusives I would’ve loved a Hexiciah doll. He’s actually my favorite “manster.” (Heck! You could’ve incorporated him into the crossover, being as he’s half fairy!) I should check ebay...

18) How about Amazon exclusives? I have two! The amazing and unique Draculaura who as far as I’m concerned is the best MH doll ever released and Zomby Gaga. The others never impressed me or lived up to the same quality promised in the first exclusive. I just couldn’t pass up a Lady Gaga monster!

19) Favorite Frankie Stein doll?

Aaah this is tough. All the Frankies I own are my favorite ^^; Sweet Screams, Freaky Fusion, her classroom doll I turned into a fearleading one, and while I don’t own her original doll (mine is the 2014 release) I love that one two. I also like Wave 2 Frankie and as I said Ghouls Rule. (Honestly though I thiiiiink Sweet Screams is number one...which is funny because I did not want her when I first started collecting. For whatever reason I thought I’d be happy with one doll of each character. Again I say: whoops)

20) Favorite Draculaura doll?

21) Favorite Clawdeen Wolf doll? Freak du Chic, her OG doll and I think Boo York. I’m so mad her outfit isn’t more stylish. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it to buy her and like one of her fashion packs...but that’s actually more expensive on Amazon than her original doll!

22) Favorite Cleo de Nile doll?

Originally Dawn of the Dance wasn’t a favorite but now that I own the doll I realize just how much she stands out (why wasn’t purple lipstick used more often???)

23) Favorite Lagoona Blue doll? Skull Shores, her OG doll and I think Dawn of the Dance. I’m not a big fan of the mohawk but I appreciate the detail in her outfit...plus I love blue makeup.

24) Favorite Ghoulia Yelps doll?

I also like Sweet Screams (although she’s my least favorite of the line) and Dawn of the Dance. Honestly maybe I should’ve set my sights on that whole line XD Except I’m not the biggest fan of the Clawdeen and Frankie.

25) Favorite Spectra Vondergeist doll? I’m not as familiar with Spectra’s dolls but I think either Dot Dead Goregeous or Ghouls Night Out.

26) Favorite Abbey Bombinable doll? Sweet Screams <3

27) Favorite Venus McFlytrapp doll? Zombie Shake

28) Favorite Rochelle Goyle doll? Zombie Shake

29) Favorite Operetta doll? Either or OG doll or Scaritage (the latter kind of reminds me of Lucille Ball for whatever reason)

30) Favorite Toralei Stripe doll? I’m really not a fan of her dolls (Orange is such a hard color to compliment correctly) but I do kind of like the stark design in her Fierce Rockers doll.

31) Favorite Jinafire Long doll? I’m not a big fan of her dolls either (I feel the same way about Green that I do Orange) so I’ll say her “New Scaremester” doll.

32) Favorite Skelita Calaveras doll? Scarnival! I’m still half-tempted to purchase this doll one day...provided I can find her!

33) Favorite Howleen Wolf doll? Her original doll. I wish she hadn’t switched to straight/pink hair! The orange stood out in a good way. Someday I hope I find her in a thrift store...

34) Favorite Twyla Bogeyman doll? Freak du Chic

35) What do you do with your dolls? (Display them, take photos of them, etc) I display them, sometimes change their poses and I take photos! I’m still an amateur at that but I’m learning as I go and I think I’ve improved!

36) Is Monster High the only doll line you collect? Why or why not? Sort of? It’s the only line I primarily collect now. I keep my eye on a couple others in case something catches my eye but like I said I’m low on space. Some of my other collections include: Ever After High (complete with maybe the exception of TriCastleon Lizzie Hearts one day) Super Heroes (this also includes high quality collectibles. One day I’d like Mystique but she’s only available on ebay and out of my price range right now. Plus I’ve found the production condition of each varies...) Disney Princesses/Frozen (sometimes I tell myself I should get Mulan for varying reasons but I’ve only taken photos of my Elsa doll so what does that tell you) Vampirina + Hotel Transylvania (This includes toys as well. HT seems to have wrapped up for the time being and as I’ve stated numerous times I’m fickle with Vampirina merchandise. Nonetheless both of these are technically ongoing) Equestria Girls (Done unless Hasbro releases a new Adagio Dazzle doll. Also fashion packs or a dAYDREAM SHIMMER DOLL COME ON--ahem-- I’m still planning to get rid of most of my older dolls.) I tried getting into Disney’s “Attractionistas” but only acquired two before they stopped selling in the parks. To be honest the quality dropped anyway and they’ve only got basic articulation. I’m not sure I’m going to keep the ones I have...we’ll see.

37) Do you still collect Monster High dolls? (i.e. scour the internet and/or secondhand stores?) Technically? I got three for Christmas and still poke my head in thrift stores now and then. For the most part though I’m essentially finished, I only say I keep going because there are a few older dolls I will definitely have someday.

38) There’s a lot of new Monster doll/toy lines out now: thoughts if any? H’okay so here’s the Earth--

jk jk I’m old XD

I make it a point to investigate new Monster lines: monsters are my life, nothing gives me greater creative fuel so it is my duty!

Right now there are technically three others out there although like I said, Hotel Transylvania seems to be out of stores. Don’t know if it’s still available on Amazon. The other two are Vampirina and Super Monsters. I’ve talked about them before--they’re largely for a much younger crowd, even younger than the MH reboot audience but there are some highlights for us older collectors if you love monsters as much as I do. I’m a big fan of world building and the spooky aesthetic: I love seeing how different franchises approach this. Character designs too: it can be a little tricky in the “family friendly monster” genre: a successful one balances spooky with well...friendly. I think Vampirina is most successful in this department. Super Monsters leans more towards the cutesy side. That said, I actually prefer their world set up over Vampirina. As well as the approach to being a monster which isn’t surprising since Vampirina is essentially one giant whimsical metaphor.

Super Monsters has only just joined the merchandise department which I know I’ve said before. I look forward to seeing how it evolves. Vampirina too: most of the toys, while cute, are more “toy” than doll and I’m not a big fan of gimmicks so I haven’t bought any of the singing dolls. Fingers crossed we get something a little more...elaborate? Even if it’s just a limited release (I do love the one figure/doll I have though! Best of the merchandise released so far <3)

Going back quickly to Hotel Transylvania...I maintain Jazware’s wasn’t the best choice of manufacturer. So many little things that needed a touch more thought. Although I will give them points for clothing quality and faceup!

39) And finally, what’s your favorite thing about Monster High? Can be past or present!

I think I’ve covered why I love it throughout this questionnaire: Monster High inspires me. It came into the world fresh and with a lot of creative power behind it. It turned so many heads and shook up the doll world as we know it. It brought monsters back into the light and that’s never gone away. If anything it’s blown up even more: that may not have happened without Monster High. Was the writing great? No. But the theme songs, the designs and especially the original lessons taught stood out on their own: Be yourself. Be unique. Be a monster.

Hell yeah, Monster High <3

27 best male sex toys of all time: the ultimate guide to male sex toys

Men don’t really talk about sex toys. Although women openly admit to possessing vibrators, men who talk about his pocket pubic area are usually considered a big no-no. If you are not familiar with male sex toys, you are not alone. But don't worry-our resident sex experts have independently selected 27 top sex toys for men. There is also a quick guide on different types of male sex toys in case you want to learn more. Looking for an automatic male masturbator? Tong Lu is your best choice. Many people have heard of Autoblow AI, but Tong Lu is significantly better. This oral sex machine automatically strokes your penis at a rate of 230 times per minute. Use Fleshlight penis stroker to bring you pleasure. Tong lu can connect to VR (virtual reality) pornographic sites and stroke your penis in sync with the pornographic content on the screen. It can also be charged via USB, and the battery life is up to 2 hours. It is one of the best sex toys I have used in engineering. A slightly cheaper automatic male masturbator, this male sex toy uses Fleshlight's interchangeable "Quickshot" penis petting toy to automatically milk your penis. With up to 250 taps per minute, this is one of the fastest male automatic sex toys on the market. Okay, so when you think of Fleshlight, this might be what you think. This is the classic "pink vagina" Fleshlight-OG masturbation set before all other strange and wonderful changes. It may not be the strongest Fleshlight ever, but it is a classic. But it still provides an excellent experience. It's super tight, you can plow this plastic cat all night, it will make you satisfied, and it will be very easy to clean afterwards.

If you have never heard of Tenga Egg, these are unique penis strokers made by Japanese adult toy company Tenga. Designed to be disposable, each Tenga Egg comes with a small penis massager and a pack of water-based lubricant. When you are done, just throw it all away. Whether you use it alone or with a partner, the cock ring can be an important asset in the bedroom. Tong Lu 2 sends powerful vibrations to the base of your penis and your partner's clitoris-she will like it. Show her a good time. When looking for the best sex toys for men, you will see Lovense Max 2 appear a lot, and this is for good reason. This masturbation device uses vibration and 360-degree contraction to delight your penis, providing a completely different experience for a typical high-tech male sex toy. Even better-you can connect this device to the Lovense Remote app, allowing you or your partner to control the device via a smartphone-including remote control via Wi-Fi. We really live in the future. Many people like the porn of the adult star "Stoya", but now you can feel sick with Fleshlight, which is taken directly from the mold of her real vagina. In addition to the realistic vulva opening, the internal texture of this masturbation set is also very strong, and it is often hailed as one of the best masturbation ever, with rubber fangs and lots of bulges. damn. If you want to try anal sex, but beads and dildos are not for you, maybe you should try this unique B Vibe butt plug, designed to replicate the feel of the vagina. There are seven modes to explore, equipped with a remote control and high-quality silicone structure. You can get rim plugs in various sizes, so if you are inexperienced, please feel free to start small! When stroking the penis, do you want to see it? Well, now you can! This short two-headed masturbator is completely transparent and will please your inner pleasure voyeur. Depending on your body type, it can be used for masturbation or masturbation/oral sex with your partner. Equipped with penis suction and multiple vibration modes, Tenga Flip Zero is one of the products that you need to see with your own eyes to believe. This weird Japanese toy only needs a little water-based lubricant and you are ready to go.

Hitachi Magic Wand is a classic adult toy, usually considered to be the best vibrator for women. However, many people find it feels great when used on the penis, especially around the head of the penis, where there are sensitive nerve endings that can tick it. There is no doubt that this is one of the best masturbation sleeves on the market. Doc Johnson Good Head reminds us that simplicity can be very effective. This flexible male touch device is 2.25 inches long and is made of high-quality Ultraskin, perfect for solo masturbation or partner play. 14. Aneros Helix Syn Trident – Best for prostate beginners If playing with the prostate (aka "P point") is attractive to you, but you are not sure where to start, I always recommend Aneros Helix Syn Trident to people. This prostate massager is slim and only 4 inches long, making it perfect for novices and experienced prostate lovers-I still use mine often. Made of medical grade silicone, all you need to do is put this toy into your body with some water-based lubricant, relax and think about horny thoughts. It takes some time to get used to, but you can have the strongest orgasm in your life. I ejaculated without even touching my penis before. Yes really.

A 5.5-inch male touch device, this masturbation sleeve is actually reversible, so there are two different sides to explore, with a unique texture and feel. For cheap men's sex toys that you can't see in GQ or Men's Health, try this fun little penis toy! If you have some experience with prostate products, then Progasm is for you. This large and powerful prostate massager is one of the largest toys made by Aneros, measuring 4.2 inches long and 1.25 inches wide. This cool prostate massager is made of 100% ABS plastic. The design is similar to glass, but it is completely plastic. Honest. Another great Fleshlight masturbator, this pleasure device is completely transparent, allowing you to see your penis sliding over all those small rubber bumps and nodules inside, while your toes curl up in pleasure. If you and/or your partner enjoy watching masturbation, please consider adding fun to your sex life with Ms. Bing. The design of the Fleshlight Flight Pilot is ergonomic and aerodynamic. It uses a smooth, translucent masturbation sleeve with an opening of 0.5 inches, a depth of 6.5 inches, and a pile of nodules and bumps sliding across the head of the penis. It feels amazing. Made in Germany (like all Fun Factory products), this penis vibrator, male vibrator or "guybrator" is designed to stimulate the glans/head and frenulum of the penis-the sensitive part under the head. Insert your penis, apply a little lubricating oil, and cycle in vibration mode until Cobra Libre scratches your kimchi just right. When you are done, there is even a small room to catch your semen... how polite. NJoy Pure Wand is very suitable for P-spot (prostate) and G-spot stimulation, basically anyone of any gender can use it, making it the main product of the sex toy community for many years. It is essentially a long metal dildo with a ball on each end-a small 1-inch tip and a large 1.5-inch tip. This metal massage stick is made of 100% high-grade stainless steel and is one of the best prostate massagers you have used in your life. However, this toy is not suitable for beginners, so if you are new to prostate games, please stay away! Another excellent male vibrator toy from Fun Factory, Manta is equipped with a vibrating silicone flap, suitable for all kinds of games! Use them on the testicles, glans penis, nipples, assholes, clitoris of your partner...anywhere. If you are a fan of hooks, then you will love this hook kit from LoveHoney. Equipped with a strap-on safety belt and a curved 7-inch dildo, it is designed to hit the prostate just right, and when she plows you with this bad boy, you will scream during orgasm. If your partner is a little oversized, they may want you to try a penis extender. This condom makes your penis about 3 inches long and can be inserted into a total of 8.5 inches. This is bigger than most people dream of! The exterior has uneven and obvious texture, which makes the receiver feel happy. We think your partner will be very satisfied with this! It is very suitable for many people with ED or people who just want to try to have a bigger penis. If you want to enhance your erection and improve sexual performance, you should consider using a penis pump. EDGE is an excellent beginner penis pump with a grenade-style hand pump, quick release valve and soft rubber base for a comfortable experience. These products come in many different styles, such as vagina/anus/mouth openings, different textures inside the sleeves, different shells, and so on. Made of Superskin-a material designed to make the feel as realistic as possible-these products are the number one male sex toy for a reason! Sometimes referred to as male touchers, masturbators, or similar things, these products are essentially plastic vaginas that you can have sex with instead of with your partner. There are many different styles, such as realistic "pocket cat" and open strokes . Sometimes called "male vibrator" or "male vibrator", penile vibrators come in various designs, but the most famous is probably Fun Factory Cobra Libre II, which uses vibration to massage the head of the penis. Usually called automatic male masturbators, masturbation machines, or similar things... These high-tech devices use penis touchers and mechanics to stroke your penis for you, and automatically squeeze you dry.

Advanced products such as Tong Lu can also be integrated with smartphone apps and VR (virtual reality), allowing men to take masturbation games to a new level. If you have not tried a prostate massager, you have missed it. Sometimes called the "P point" or "male G point," the prostate is a walnut-sized gland located about 2-3 inches inside the male anus. This area can cause men to have multiple orgasms and even make you ejaculate without touching the penis. These sexual health devices are usually used when having sex with a partner because they are designed to restrict blood flow to the penis after you have an erection. C-rings are usually used by older men or young people who just want to last longer with a rock-solid erection! Read the full article

As part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017, The Long Lane Theatre Company presents

The Giant Killers

The true story of footballs greatest underdogs

Long Lane Theatre Company makes its Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut with The Giant Killers, a true story of class and sport, brought to stage to uplift and inspire.

This new play will be performed at Gilded Balloon (Rose Theatre) at 2.30pm (3.45pm) from Wednesday 2 – Monday 28 August.

Football was not always a game for the masses. The first players to compete for the F.A. Cup were lords, knights and peers, in essence, a game for the wealthy and privileged. The pivotal moment happened when a group of mill workers from Darwen in Lancashire joined two talented Glaswegians to change football. The play tells the untold, true story of the Darwen vs The Old Etonians F.A. Cup tie. A story of a town that finds its voice and a team that change the beautiful game forever. They are The Giant Killers!

All questions are answered by me, Eve Pearson-Wright. I am an actress and have co-written and co-produced ‘The Giant Killers’. I run The Long Lane Theatre Company with my husband. This is the first show that we have produced at The Fringe. It is the true story of The first working class men to play to play in the F.A. Cup.

What was the inspiration for this performance?

A few years ago I was in a house fire. I was woken by my dog but couldn't get out of my room as the smoke was too heavy and the heat was to strong. I tried to smash my way out of my window but It was too dark to see. Eventually I passed out on the floor with my dog next to me. Fortunately the fire brigade got to me before I died. I lost my dog and my home and everything I owned.

When I got out of hospital I didn't have any mojo for life. I couldn't hold memories, so learning lines and working as an actress was impossible. I was depressed. I survived thanks to the generosity of others. Then my boyfriend, now my husband told me a story about a group of men he had been reading about. They had lost everything during the cotton famine of the 1870's. They were poor with no jobs, no prospects. With time on their hands they started kicking a ball around, soon they formed a football team, then they took on the best in the country and eventually they changed football and their community forever.

He said think - 'if that was a script then them losing everything would only be the first five minutes. And if we write a script about you then this is where we would start, you've only lived the first five minutes of your story.' That helped. Life got better and then last year we wanted to write a play together and so I said "what about that story about the football men?"

Is performance still a good space for public discussion?

It's the best space. We teach drama students a lot and we are always challenging them to answer what an audience requires of theatre. Escapism is a common answer but escapism from what? From boredom? From their mobile phones? From the strain of confirming? The strain of living in a world that is ruled by daft and unexamined conventions? I go to the theatre to care, to understand people, to not feel alone. I like things that make you care make you think and make you dream, dream that you are part of something.

There is nowhere else where people come together to share an experience, to stop transmitting and sit and receive from somebody that is in that room with you, breathing the same air you’re breathing.

How did you become interested in making performance?

I think everyone has a need for storytelling to some degree, some people just take it all the way. When I was five I used to put on plays and charge my family 5p to watch me re-tell the story of Robin Hood or Ghostbusters in the living room and that desire for me has never gone away.

Is there any particular approach to making of the show?

Write, write and re-write. Writing is kind of like doing a sudoku, you sit in front of it for ages not knowing what to do then one idea opens up and it’s a domino effect. Then it was all about finding the best director, designer, cast and crew we could get. Research was a big part too, we found out so much amazing stuff about this story that the hardest thing was knowing what to leave out.

Does the show fit with your usual productions?

In a word…no. It’s been a long process to get us to the point of being commercially able to produce a piece of new writing.

For a long time The Long Lane Theatre Company was just me and my husband in small scale shows usually within an educational environment. We’ve spent two years travelling the whole of England performing shows that were created for children bit that was always so we could build to this. This was always the goal though and hopefully from here we can grow further and make more theatre for adults.

What do you hope that the audience will experience?

The show rattles along, it’s got such a speed to it that you feel like you are watching a football match but aside from that I hope they are inspired as well as having a great history lesson. We want them to know the power of organisation and collaboration. That community is a force to be reckoned with and that unification in a world which seems set to divide us is the way forward. Essentially when your chips are down, that’s when you start cooking.

The Giant Killers is performed and written by Long Lane Theatre which is run by Eve and Andrew Pearson-Wright: the couple met playing husband and wife in the West End's longest running musical The Mousetrap in 2009. Long Lane Theatre was set up to run workshops and tours for stage schools and other theatre companies.

As a result of their success with schools Eve and Andrew decided to make their Edinburgh Fringe debut.

The play also stars Tim Barrow who was born in Edinburgh and brought up in both Australia & Scotland. His screen acting work includes Taggart; Waterloo Road; Children Of The Dead End (Glass Machine) and The Queen's Wedding (Mentorn).

Theatre work includes plays for Glasgow Citizens Theatre, Theatre 503, The Arches, Stoirm Og, Fire Exit, Bard In The Botanics, Prime Productions, Theatre Enigma & Nonsenseroom. Tim set up Lyre Productions to make contemporary feature films – work includes The Inheritance. Nominated Best UK Feature on its premiere at Raindance Film Festival, The Inheritance won the Raindance Award at 2007 British Independent Film Awards, and Tim was nominated Best Producer at 2008 BAFTA Scotland New Talent Awards.

Through writing he has also worked with Tom Hardy, Robert Delamere & Brett. C. Leonard of New York's Labyrinth Theatre Company.

The Giant Killers will be directed by Natalie-Anne Downs. Natalie has been working in professional Theatre and Film for 12 years and is the Founder and Artistic Director of VENI VIDI Theatre & Film London. As a classically-trained pianist and composer, Natalie has always had a hands-on approach to the music used in all her productions, having written scores for several of them. Her 'Shakespeare Shorts' film series was recently selected to appear in Europe's largest short film festival.

LISTINGS INFORMATION: The Giant Killers will be performed from Wednesday 2 – Monday 28 August at Gilded Balloon Rose Theatre studio, 2.30pm (3.45pm)

The Puppet Show

Written by: Dean Batali and Ros Deshotel

Directed by: Ellen S. Pressman

Starring: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, Anthony Head, Charisma Carpenter, Armin Shimerman, and Kristine Sutherland.

Welcome to Episode 9, in which the show’s producers try to change our opinion of Dummies. IT DOESN’T WORK.

There’s a demon terrorising students brave (stupid) enough to enter the Talent Show. Poor Giles (and then the rest of the Scooby Gang) are forced to contribute by the new principal, Principal Snyder. Snyder is a delight. He’s actually the worst but in the best way. You all know. You. All. Know.

As mentioned above there’s a dummy and you think it’s evil because dummies but maybe it’s not that evil and more of a paedophile and whatever, which is a different, more unsettling kind of evil. Oh, and Buffy rescues people.

Now let’s talk almost exclusively about Buffy’s outfits!

Outfit 1

Buffy’s mocking Giles and this may be why this shot of her is… not ideal. But then again it’s not an ideal outfit. At the time I would’ve wanted the jacket. I remember finding a similar jacket in brown in the back of my mum’s wardrobe. I believe it was purchased before or around the time she met my dad. So maybe this cut of jacket was a 90s nod to the 70s. I... Don’t think it really works.

It’s sort of like writing a well-researched essay that completely misses the point of its subject. Incidentally, that’s the metaphor I use for Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby.

There was a lot of velour and velour patterns on shirts in the 90s. It was almost like a velour uniform. I enjoy a velour uniform year round. Erry day. Erry damn day. Unless it’s on Xander.

In this episode Xander’s treatment of Cordelia rubbed off onto Giles. And I did. Not. Care. For it.

Yeah. You wear that cardigan, bitch.

Outfit 2

ANIMAL PRINT. I bought a dress very much like this a few years back from Glebe Market in Sydney. I believe I even wore it with a black leather jacket. But not the boots. Not the boots…

I do actually have a legit tale to tell you guys about Buffy’s by-now trademark boots. But it’s a story for another post, I think. It’s too sad.

It’s not really. I’m just trying to build drama. Please keep reading my dumb blog!

I recently had to roll up the sleeves on my leather jacket because they’re a little long, just like Buffy did. Not because it was from a cute boy. Just because my arms are a bit short.

The jacket is back but I don’t even mind that much because it sits at my preferred length with the dress. Though… Is it a dress? She may be wearing nude stockings. I hope not.

I did this thing called Physical Culture as a kid. It’s a combination of dance and aerobics and... like, beauty pageants. I had to wear these stupid nude stockings with my leotard and after that ordeal I can’t see nude stockings without it taking me back to those days... The smell of the fake tan, the taste of the hairspray (it always ended up burning my eyes, throat and nose), the Kylie Minogue songs I had to dance to... Actually I love Kylie Minogue. So that last part is a fond memory.

Source: The A.V. Club

All hail the OG short skirt/long jacket wearer herself.

You wear that cardigan, bitch.

Outfit 3

Pyjamas are outfits. I should know, I wear them out to places. It was acceptable where I grew up. Actually, it wasn’t but I did it any way. Not because I’m cool. Because I’m lazy.

The pattern on her pyjama pants is glorious. It may be my favourite pattern paisley, beloved of Claudia Kishi in at least one Babysitters Club book. She was my original fashion crush.

When I was younger pyjama designer Peter Alexander was THE NAME in adorable sleepwear. It was a luxury because there were no stores in Newcastle and because the prices were prohibitive. Even now I think of them as such a lavish treat and still have every pair I have ever bought. Even the ones that have holes in them. Or a big ole split right down the crotch.

In summary my first Peter Alexander purchase was purple fleece pants with a paisley pattern. The end. In looking closer it may not be paisley. And now you know my love affair with paisley for probably no reason.

Lot of boring stories this post. Lot. Of. Boring. Stories. I promise I’m more interesting than this in person. Ok, I can’t promise that.

Outfit 4

The black pants are back. This is… fine. This outfit was classy as hell to me in 1997. I sure as fuck wasn’t wearing this to school. And part of the uniform was black pants.

My senior school uniform was a plaid skirt and when Clueless was released in Australia the senior girls started wearing knee high socks and Mary-Janes with their uniform and I thought they were so cool. I spent the intervening years building up the courage to wear knee high socks and cute shoes in public and last year I did, at the age of 33. I did it, guys! I feel so free!

This looks like good hair from the front.

But it’s not. It’s really not.

The Scooby Gang save Giles from literally losing his brain just in time for the show to start. But nothing will save them from having to perform a scene from Oedipus Rex. High School is the real demon here.

I actually enjoy this episode. It’s funny, it’s got a backstage comedy element, and the dummy actually isn’t too bad. Well, except for the fact it keeps hitting on a 15 year old girl. Albeit one who could turn it into kindling any time it got too fresh. We’ve essentially had two paedophiles in this series already. I have... thoughts about this. But other than that, it’s good. I mean, it’s Principal Snyder’s first episode. So.

You wear that vest, bitch.

And that’s it! A short-ish one, I know. Blame the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Speaking of, I have seen some delightful shows including the following:

Cameron James – 88

Do Go On - Live

Blind Dating Show Spectacular

Laura Dunemann – Flannelette

If you are in Melbourne some time before April 23, I highly recommend those shows and many, many more I possibly won’t get to see because I’m never prepared for these festivals and have to buy groceries sometime this week.

Up next, the Scooby Gang face their fears. It includes a clown so I guess I’m facing my fears too.

Until then, Slayerettes.

Top Tips for Running with Jogging Stroller

It can be difficult keeping up with your running schedule when your baby arrives. If you like to run, a jogging stroller may be the answer. It will give you the freedom to continue with your running, without the need to arrange a babysitter. Making your baby or toddler part of your workout, can be fun for both of you and will help to strengthen your bond. It will also expose your child to a healthy lifestyle at a young age.

Follow our top tips to ensure your stroller jogging is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.

1. Baby’s Age

If you intend to go jogging with a newborn baby, you will need to ensure your stroller can recline fully. A newborn has little head control as the neck muscles are not yet fully developed. Newborns are unable to hold themselves in an upright position. An upright jogging stroller could, therefore, cause injury.

Jogging strollers that remain in an upright position carry a manufacturer’s guide age of around six to eight months. However, this will depend on your child’s development and will differ from child to child. If you are unsure, check with your pediatrician.

2. Safety First

Never be tempted to go jogging with a standard stroller. They are not built with this in mind. The wheels are not designed for faster speeds, and they could easily tip. Jogging with a stroller requires a smooth and stable ride. Using a regular stroller for this purpose could cause injury to you and your child.

The safety of you and your child is of the utmost importance. When purchasing your jogging stroller, ensure that it is JPMA (Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association) certified. This will ensure that it meets the highest quality and safety standards.

Other things to check for are:

A fixed or lockable front wheel

A 5-point safety harness

Well-inflated tyres

Effective shock absorbers which will ensure a smooth ride

Handbrakes

Weather canopy

Adjustable handle if you and your partner are different heights

Basket/compartments for storage

The ability to fold it away for storage

Back Wheel Lock

A jogging stroller differs from standard strollers in several ways. Some strollers have a fixed front wheel and others allow you to lock the wheel into position when needed. This feature will prevent the stroller from swivelling suddenly and causing you to fall.

If you intend to use the stroller for other purposes, as well as jogging, it is useful to be able to control the front wheel. While a fixed position is essential for running, a swivel wheel is more comfortable when walking. It makes it much easier to manoeuvre around the grocery store, etc.

A 5-point harness will ensure your baby is secured safely within the stroller. It will provide padding and hold him/her in place to avoid being shaken as you jog. A harness will also prevent them from reaching out and getting their fingers caught in the wheels. Make sure the buckle is closed firmly before you set off.

Like a bike, a handbrake will allow you to control the stroller as you run. Some strollers include wrist straps for added safety. It will prevent the stroller from rolling away from you. This is useful, especially in hilly areas. In a worst case scenario and the stroller gets away from you, it will still be attached by the wrist strap.

Many strollers have a back wheel lock feature. If it has, then make sure you use it. These strollers are designed to glide effortlessly. If you stop for any reason and need to let go of the stroller, make sure this feature is in place.

This is not strictly a safety feature, though it certainly has some implications. You may have to transport your stroller in a small vehicle, or you may be short on storage space at home. If this is the case then being able to fold your stroller flat will be an advantage. The ability to fold it down on your own is another bonus. This will become clear when you only have one hand free, as the other is holding your child.

A stroller is a little like a bike and needs to be maintained. This will enable it to perform at its best and ensure everyone’s safety. Make sure you keep it in optimum condition. Inspect your tyres before every run to check they have enough air. It’s a good idea to top them up regularly, depending on the frequency of your runs. Check for other issues at the same time, such as loose screws, etc. Keep it lubricated and oiled.

If you go for a run in muddy conditions, clean the stroller as soon as you get home.

Never run with your headphones on. When running with a baby or small child, you need to be extra vigilant. So save the headphones for solo runs.

3. Dressing For The Weather

As you’re running, you will feel warmer. This will not be the case for your child and so make sure they are dressed appropriately. Use the weather shield in cold or hot conditions. If you’re running in warm weather, then ensure your child wears sunblock. This is in addition to the weather shield.

It is important that you also are prepared for the weather conditions. Your safety is also important. Make sure you dress according to the weather and protect yourself from the elements.

Opt for a stroller with an adjustable weather canopy. This will allow maximum comfort, wherever the sun is positioned.

Cut your run short on hot or very cold days. Or, consider running solo in these conditions.

4. Choose A Safe Route

Avoid running near cars as much as possible. Busy roads don’t make the best running conditions. And it is even more of a safety hazard when you’re running with a stroller and a precious cargo. Find a route that you feel comfortable with. If you’re new to this, avoid hilly areas. You will find that running with a stroller is a lot different to running without one. The added weight of the stroller and baby takes some getting used to. So opt for simple routes first.

Plan your route ahead so you can let young children know how long you’re going to be. Depending on age, they are likely to ask. Combine it with some play time. For example, you could run to the park and allow your child to play on the swings for a while before you head back. This will make it fun for everyone and provide an incentive for them to be patient. You could also take along some snacks.

Avoid running in crowded areas. Remember, you’re running with the front wheel fixed into position. Therefore, weaving in and out of people is difficult and frustrating. Paved trails are the ideal choice.

As the popularity of jogging strollers has grown, more stroller-friendly areas are cropping up. You will also become aware of races which allow for runners with strollers. These can be fun events, where you get to know other parents. If you do get involved in a race, it is important that you’re aware of the rules. Some races require that you start at the back and don’t get in the way of other runners. This is fine, as you will be running at a slower pace.

5. When To Run

When to run is down to you and your child’s schedule. You may have to experiment a little to find the best time. It’s not advisable to run just before your child’s mealtime. They will be feeling hungry and impatient. Some runners find that jogging before nap time is a good idea. The motion of the buggy will rock them gently to sleep. Many children sleep through the majority of the run.

It’s useful to remember that this will be a new experience for your child. They will also need to adjust. It’s worth setting up a routine around your runs. You could begin by each of you getting ready for the run and allowing them to choose a toy. If they are old enough, talk to them about where you’re going and how long it is likely to take. Talk to them about what they will see.

6. What To Bring

Bring as little as you can get away with. The weight of your child and your stroller will be more than you’re used to. Adding to this with unnecessary items will only add to your burden. So only bring the essentials. This might be diapers, wipes, water, milk, snacks, etc. It may also be useful to provide a couple of toys to keep your child occupied.

Most strollers have a basket and a few compartments for packing.

7. Starting Slow And Building Up

If running with a stroller is new to you, it is advisable to start slowly. You will need to run in a different way, which will put a strain on different areas of the body. It will be a completely different experience to running solo. Avoid injury by taking it steady and building up over time.

8. Technique

If you have a stroller with an adjustable handle height, find the correct height for you. Your arms will already be restricted by the stroller. Ensure your comfort by setting the handle at the correct height.

Make sure you keep your elbows bent so that the stroller is closer to your body. Running with straight arms will cause you to stoop, which could cause pain and injury. It is tempting to lean into the stroller towards the end of the run when you’re getting tired. Avoid doing this as it can cause back pain and injury.

Always keep your toes pointing forward. When running up an incline, you may naturally turn your feet sideways to help take the strain. However, this will place undue strain on your body. Remember, you’re already taking the strain with the additional weight. Don’t add to this by overcompensating. So, check that your feet are in the correct position. If they’re not, correct them.

If you need to slow down, then do so. It’s better to take it slowly in the early stages. Jogging with a stroller takes a lot of getting used to. You’re still burning calories, even though you’re running slower. And don’t forget that you are working much harder by pushing the buggy.

9. Stay In Control Of The Stoller

It is important to stay in control of the stroller at all times. Never be tempted to remove your hands, even if just for a few seconds. To work on your momentum, it’s fine to run with one hand, unless you have a wide stroller. But never be tempted to push and then remove your hands.

10. Have Fun

There are lots of reasons to run. Before your child came along these may have included keeping fit, maintaining a healthy weight, stress relief, enjoyment, etc. Now that your child is here, you have another reason to run. This is a precious time that you can spend together doing something that is enjoyable to both of you. It’s something you can look back on when they have grown out of the stroller. It may even create a spark in them to be outdoors and exercise.

Having fun is important for both of you. If your child becomes bored, things will get difficult. As you head off, keep him/her entertained with chatting and songs. Point out things along the way. Make them laugh. Play games such as hide and seek. If you get the start right, this should set the mood for the rest of the journey. Making it a fun and enjoyable experience will increase the likelihood of a successful run.
