WRAP IT UP WITH A BOW
Gwyneth Paltrow is Selling a $1,350 Beginner BDSM Bondage Kit for Christmas

Gwyneth Paltrow has a little something for the hard to buy for person on your holiday list: a $1,350 BDSM bondage set complete with wrist and ankle cuffs and an exquisitely designed leather paddle. The description on her Goop website for the luxury sex toy set-up teases potential buyers into submission.

“Wrist cuffs? Ankle cuffs? Leather-bound paddle? Yes, yes, and ohhh yes,” the write up says. “Think of this kit as a beginner’s guide to BDSM.” The kit also has what Paltrow is billing as DIY restraining straps to “help you, him, or her assume the position. (wink, wink).” Happy holidays indeed.
Don't forget a gift-pack of whips.
 
There probably is someone out there dying for a Paltrow-branded BDSM kit. I mean, if KISS got away selling KISS-brand coffins, why not? The question here is - can I get something similar for a more reasonable price and possibly with instructions steering me, him or her away from bodily or mental trauma?

I'm honestly at a loss here. When was the last noteworthy movie with GP in it? I understand that celeb-branded merch has a markup attached, but I'm hard-pressed to see a cool grand in brand value. I'd happily splurge for Hemsworth-branded briefs or a Scarlett Johanson dildo set, but Paltrow? Sorry, I'm drawing blanks here. :)
 
Years ago, I did a BDSM story for the winter contest and placed. :D

A good set of sheepskin padded cuffs is about $80, while a leather paddle is less than $50. You can even get one with a heart shaped cutout for Valentines day. ;)

For any that might be interested in the story, here is a link, Bound
 
Practice safe sex, guys. If you let a Goop shopper tie you up, make sure you tell them to keep their jade eggs to their self.
 

why in the actual fuck would anyone want sex gear from Gwyneth Paltrow? As TxRad said, better can be had for less money.

I swear the worst thing that those dumbass 50 shades books did was make BDSM "cool" for the "masses". And that's saying something.

Very sound advice under any circumstances.
 
This is a BDSM related story about how I am. When a girl I was with showed interest in being tied up, whipped and all that other stuff, my first instinct was to buy Nylon rope because there was an episode of The Simpson's where Apu is tied up while being robbed and says "Oh thank god they used the Nylon rope this time, it's so much smoother against my skin," or something to the affect.

Anyway that's a little peak into my mind. Nylon rope is actually very smooth in case you were wondering.
 
Avengers: Endgame maybe? I heard it made some money.

Gimme a minute... oh. Right. Rescue. Mrs. Iron Man. Or the third most unlikeable Marvel woman behind Mary Jane Parker and (first two F4 movies) Sue Storm. My point is still valid :)

Hey, Scarlet Witch sucks more than Pepper.

True, Pepper didn't commit mutant genocide. Restricting myself just to the movies... well, Scarlet Witch's screen time was so limited, barely more than a "hey, remember me?" moment and a few blips in that final "hot potato" pass-the-glove sequence (am I the only one who found the "girl powaaaaah" part utterly stilted and forced?**)... nah. Witchy was harmless.

Pepper had more than enough "nagging love interest" moments in the Iron Man movies to sour the character for me. Not that "Oh, I have issues and can't talk to no one" Stark was much better.

** Don't get me wrong, I'm all for girl power and equal opportunities for superheroics. But that sequence was anything but. First the guys try to get the glove where it needs to go, then it's baby Spidey's turn and when he can't, ALL the girls sweep in and save the day. Or try. It's all a bit blurry. But the way the scene was built is not advocating equality, it seemed a very blatant and forced moment to show female empowerment by painting all the guys as incompetent klutzes only to be saved by the ladies. It would have worked much better if boys and girls had simply fought side by side as usual, showing them as equally heroic or incompetent.

Well, now MY spider-sense is tingling. Where are my flame-proof nerd pyjamas?
 
C'mon, folks, the sole purpose of this is to draw traffic to the Goop site in the runup to the holidays. Ridicule from late-night talk shows surely counts as good publicity in this case.

That’s a fair call. But her goop is horribly overpriced also.

And I use “goop” in the time honoured Aussie meaning - sludge, crap, mouldy pile of shit...
