Time in Winnipeg

Monday, November 24

passion; it's a girls' thing. 7:54 AM

"Having a Passion Party is a great way to spend an evening with your friends. You'll giggle and learn as we show you ways to spice up your love life with lotions, potions, lingerie, and things that go buzz in the night. Discover intriguing secrets of sensuality as you learn the top 5 secrets to SEXCESS from The Party Lady." - adapted from the Passion Parties website.

Haha.. so one night Laura and Judy just said, "Wini, there's a Passion Party on 21st Nov, and you're going!" and at that time I was obviously clueless as to what that was. They tried explaining (and JS was around btw) by describing it as a "Tupperware party, just that they aren't selling Tupperware.." - tskkk. But I would have wanted to come anyway, just for the unique experience and seeing what kinda interesting stuff they have in North America, haha.

So Judy was excited about making some exotic-erotic-looking baked goods for the party, and I was roped in to help out. Amber (the Party Lady) lent us her one-of-a-kind cake mould (as shown below), and I also suggested making boob cookies! Heh.. it's my 2nd time making them now, pressing choc chips into mini mounds/domes of dough of all sizes - I think they can become my signature one day, ho!

Lo and behold! Notice that for nips we had both chocolate and butterscotch chips, the latter of a nude colour for variety. Haha.. Judy also insisted we make "hair" for the cake so I suggested choc rice sprinkles; it also has 2 lil' silver studs! Hehe. Everything's homemade by the 2 of us, even the icing! :)

Judy and I had had many funny encounters and accidents with the mould and cake by the way. No matter how self-conscious we were in holding the mould, it always looked suggestive in some way when held near to our bodies/faces! Haha.. I was so afraid of denting it too cos I kept accidentally knocking it against random pillars and walls - imagine if the cake were dented?! Judy also unintentionally made "wrong" comments when the cake was in the oven, like "Oh look, it's RISING!" and "It looks so good in there!" - HAHA.

We all wore nametags for the night, each with a (supposedly) kinky name like "Flexible Fox", or "Juicy Julie", which I thought were very good names. But I was so busy making final touch-ups to the cake, I wasn't able to have a say in mine! The only W words I could think of for this were "wild", "wacky", erm maybe even "wet" la - yikes - so the others decided to help by consulting a website that created personalized nicknames with letters from your first/middle/last names. WAHHHH. I became some random Princess Tush, I dono where it came from and it doesn't resemble my name too la! Haha.. tsktsk.

Passion Parties are designed to inform and educate women through tasteful in-home presentations where you have an opportunity to experience sensual products specifically created to enhance your romantic relationship - "tasteful" here is a pun cos there are obviously many edible products amongst the massage lotions and creams, haha. Amongst these were the Edible Body Pen (comes in choc or strawberry somemore), White Chocolate Passion Powder, Fireworks Hot Fudge Surprise etc; you basically use them to write/dust sexy messages on your partner and erm, lick them off anytime. Heh.. so we had a tasteful experience since Amber made us test these products on ourselves and see how yummy they all were! It was a whole night of squeezing and licking for us (haha), and it's amusing how Amber had to disclaim "this is yet another edible product", or on some occasions, "don't eat this it doesn't taste good!"

The Passion Hot Heart Massager and Nipple Nibblers, which is actually a fruity-menthol balm which creates luscious lips and nips for a tasty kiss and whatever-else you want. And since it was the cheapest of all products, most of us did buy nip-nibs (to use as lip balm..) Haha.. and to the right is Love Smitten, essentially a mitten with ridges to serve as a massager, it's damn ticklish! Hehe.

Passion Products are listed in 2 separate catalogues - one consists of all the nice, sweet, sensual products which help enhance a romantic relationship, while the other has all the kinky stuff la, haha. I really like the former though, while the latter is just scary. We were all extremely amused yet disgusted when shown monstrous "designs" of everything, with all its different vibrating and swiveling functions can! Haha.. the Japanese models were the most exciting; power-packed with various features - though they looked kinda weird since they had "faces" imprinted on them to help look more subtle and less threatening. :S

And if you ever watch the TV series of Sex and the City, you'll know that The Rabbit was featured in one of the seasons. According to Amber though, this product is only mediocre although it became popular for awhile because of SATC, yep. Oh and lastly, we also played Dic-Tac-Toe at the end, where we each wrote 9 of our favourite products in the grid and Amber shouted out random product names for us to cross out, something like Bingo. And I won! Haha.. I was actually set for a 3-way win somemore leh, and I had a 15% discount on whatever I bought that night, which meant 45 cents off my nip nibs. Haha. Still a discount!

Earls
Thereafter we joined Judy and her high-school friends at Earls, an upbeat restaurant bar. We'd wanted to chill longer after most people left, and since it was Tyler's birthday Judy and I decided on popping by Baked Expectations. It was a good choice too, cos it turned out that Tyler (despite being a Winnipegger all his life) had never tried its cakes, and it was Julie's first time as well! :)
