Dirty plates that can’t be scrubbed clean
By Never teh BrideThere’s a certain category of things for the home that I like to call BK, or “before kids.” Tasteful nudes are one thing — I grew up in a very cultural knowledgeable family with plenty of boobs and wangs on the walls. Still, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t red in the face when my grandfather used the word pubis while sagely pointed out artistic elements in paintings! I interned with a woman whose entire house was a repository for vintage XXX pinups…I always rather wondered what her 13-year-old son thought of them.
I imagine that most people who have things like collections of erotica and Madonna’s Sex book and love dice probably put them away when their kiddies get old enough to read and start asking questions like “What does whore mean?” Or they just don’t reproduce, which is cool, too. Viva Le choix!
The cups, mugs, and tableware Trixie Delicious creates run the gamut from too coole to relatively tame to OMG QUICK PUT IT AWAY BEFORE MY GRANDMA GETS HERE. Unless, that is, your grandma happens to be my grandma, because my gram has quite the dirty mind. There’s something about the dichotomy that tickles me…the first thing you see is this flowery auntiesque-looking plate, then your brain notices it has the word arse splashed playfully across it.
These are some of the tamer specimens. Racier, NSFWish plates can be seen under the jump!
Heh…I want the DICKHEAD plate for some bizarre reason. I don’t even use profanity all that much!
And while I’m rambling on about the subject of dirty dichotomies, I may as well give a shout out to Spidercamp, whose bunnies with swears (and pocket bacon!) have totally been in magazines and stuff. Toys for grownups are cool.

I find myself irresistably drawn to the Twit teacup for some reason. It just makes me giggle a lot. I also want a frowny bunny that says Poop and a happy bunny with the word Tits scrawled across the appropriate area. But the twit teacup comes first.

Oh my god, you just helped me find the perfect gift for my sister. Her nickname is Brat, and lo and behold, there’s a lovely plate with “Brat” written across it. Thanks!!!
Yours too? I won’t tell you what I once found in my nanny’s bedside drawer.

Glad I could help, La Petit Acadienne! Now I’m off to do other things, knowing full well that the mysterious contents of your nan’s bedside drawer will be in my thoughts all the little long day.
