Are we still talking about razors?
I was flipping around the Taste of MN website, looking at the Events page. I got to the part about the “Venus Vibrance ‘find your vibe’ Mobile Tour” and I swear it could easily pass as a sex toy ad.
The Venus® Vibrance®, created by Gillette® specifically for women, is the first powered razor that gently exfoliates to instantly reveal more radiant skin. This summer, Gillette is taking Venus Vibrance on the road, and it’s sure to be one of the hippest events to travel across the nation.
Complete with an emcee and internationally renowned DJ spinning music on stage in front of the trailer, the Find Your Vibe experience energizes everyone within earshot. You’ll want to check out the action inside the trailer – that’s where you can dance to your heart’s content on the Venus Vibrance dance floor – and live video feed of your moves will be streamed to a huge screen on top of the trailer for everyone to see. And, you can get a free makeover by professional cosmeticians, courtesy of CoverGirl®. Don’t forget to “Find Your Vibe” through the virtual vibe-maker kiosk – it creates a personalized image of your vibe that you can e-mail to your friends. Of course, there will be plenty of contests and Venus prizes to go around. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about the entire family of Venus razors while having a great time finding your vibe in lots of exciting ways!
I have my doubts about the “hippest event to travel across the nation” claim. But maybe if it actually were about sex toys it could be. And I have got to check out the virtual vibe-maker kiosk so I can email a personalized image of my vibe to my friends. Who doesn’t want to have a great time finding their vibe in lots of exciting ways?



I saw this booth last year. It’s a giant pink roll-out stage with a DJ who shouts out at women walking by. We (including all the women in our group) avoided it.
