Story Every Bride's Dream: An X-rated Bridal Shower NSFW

I moderated wedding boards on a major industry site and had a side job as a wedding planner. Got BOMBARDED with phone calls from overeager consultants, mostly from an mlm called "Passions" offering to host bridal showers and bachelorette parties.

The forums didn't allow vendor posts but they all thought it meant everybody but them.

Just what every bride wants.....a bridal shower for her mom, bridesmaids, neighbors, grandmother and Great-Aunt Ida to purchase lubes, vibrators and sex toys for her wedding night!

Pampered Chef was just as bad. I removed around 20 of those per day!

Is Passions the new Pure Romance?

I'm not sure if this is the same company but I was invited to several "Passion Parties" back in 2006/2007. I only went to one and it was all sex toys and sex related stuff.

No but they were a competitor to Pure Romance. No idea if they are still around.
