Meanwhile Cynthia over Archivia told me yesterday she’d ordered a slew of the book because a lot of women on the Upper East Side were buying their husbands silver ties (like Mr. Grey, get it?) as if to “engage” them.

Much easier to buy a tie than convince your hubby that the reason you bought him that Muskrat trapper hat on Christmas was so you can think about Venus in Furs every time you look at him.
