Phallic Fantasy

New Zealand Truth and TV Extra - 16 November 2001

It stood proud at Erotica 2001.

Even American porn goddess Syren was impressed.

The 3.2m phallus shaped couch can accommodate dozens of bums at once.

The Designer had it specially made in Erotica's traditional purple colour. "We call it The Big Purple Penis because that's just what it is," she told Truth.

"The other couches represent testicles and the pubic hair, all nicely cropped. The Designer lives in Whangarei and drives a big convertible '77 Land Cruiser with a 350 Chevy engine. She says it's like a tank. She loves her town. She says the club scene is great. Her boyfriend is in a local band and she confesses that she is "a bit of a groupie". Also at the Erotica expo was a woman who is living proof even cowgirls get the blues.

Tina Dunlop is a dairy farmer's wife from Pokeno who was unhappy with her undies. She wanted frilly knickers, satin panties, sexy Basques and lacy bodices to wear in the cowshed instead of plain pants.

So she launched her own mail-order company, Sharalie Lingerie and Essentials. Now she imports fancy pants from America to bring a little naughtiness into the lives of fellow farm wives.
