Pandora's Box

C and I live next to a very cute and hip lesbian couple V and S. I tried to come up with catchy fake names for them using the acronym for Very Cute Hip Couple, but apparently, I am not feeling that creatively inspired today.

V and S also have a dog (as do we). So C and I run into them regularly at the dog park nearby. A couple nights ago, V, C, and DW (our former Dog Walker) were hanging out, throwing balls for their dogs. V was planning a trip to LA and C got all excited telling her about this incredible spa that we went to in LA called Olympia Spa. I couldn't find it via Google, but it was somewhere in Koreatown. They had tea baths and really cheap salt scrub massages. What a dream! Anyway, our friend Kitkat introduced us to the place when she used to live in LA.

Somehow the conversation went off on a tangent about our adorable and beloved friend Kitkat. C has a way of finding the most controversial things to bring into conversations, so she went from telling V and DW how brilliant and fun Kitkat is to telling them that Kitkat used to wear wrist restraints as a fashion statement.

Both V and DW looked blankly at C and asked, "Wrist restraints?"

So she explained - they are usually leather with a fuzzy lining and have metal rings attached to them and are used for bondage.

V's eyes lit up. "Really? I'm coming over to your house tonight. Do you and sk8rn ever have threesomes?"

I'm sure C's face turned bright red.

DW burst into a fit of laughter. I'm not sure if the giggles were out of discomfort at being witness to such a bold proposition or because he'd already heard from C about our talks on polyamory.

In either case, C was clearly titillated, her own eyes all a-sparkle as she relayed the story to me when she got home (without V, I might add).

I have never before been so disappointed that I hadn't joined C at the dog park.
