FEATURE/Give Safer Sex for the Holidays.LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE FEATURES)--Nov. 10, 1999-- "If it takes a Weenie 1. weenie - [on BBSes] Any of a species of luser resembling a less amusing version of BIFF that infests many BBSes. The typical weenie is a teenage boy with poor social skills travelling under a grandiose handle derived from fantasy or heavy-metal rock lyrics. Baby to help someone be prepared in a sexual encounter, why not?" says Cherie Magnus, the owner and founder of vive la difference! Safer Sex Choices for Women (www.viveladifference.com). Magnus has conceived an original safer sex gift line that strongly appeals to women, because, as she says, "It is the women who are most at risk for STD's and, of course, pregnancy." Weenie Babies are little plush toys with clear plastic tummies containing six men's condoms in two colors. The Horny horn·y adj. 1. Made of horn or a similar substance. 2.

If requested, a pink gift tag is included with any one of eight messages, from Happy Divorce to Bon Voyage and Back to School. "There's no reason safer sex can't be fun, too," Magnus says. But in peddling her products, she's learned that many people associate condoms with being promiscuous. "'Nasty' is a word I hear often, but I always answer that, instead of being nasty, condoms are intelligent. What's nasty are AIDS and herpes Herpes Any virus of the herpesvirus group, which comprises a family of 70 species, 5 of which are pathogenic to humans; the term also refers to any infection caused by these viruses. and any other of 20 STD's, plus unwanted children who end up being abused." Other original products in the vive la difference! gift line are a Formal Affairs Gift Pack, a Cup O'Condoms, and seasonal items such as the Millennium Bucket of Rubber. What started Magnus' idea of marketing men's condoms to women was the need, as she saw it, for helping women more easily purchase the right condom without checkstand embarrassment. The core vive la difference! product is a pink box with white roses of 12 name-brand men's condoms by four manufacturers, in three sizes, three flavors, and three colors, including her booklet, "The Hows & Whys of Getting Your Man to Wear a Condom." vive la difference! aims to provide the security of one-box sexual protection shopping in untraditional Adj. 1. untraditional - not conforming to or in accord with tradition; "nontraditional designs"; "nontraditional practices" nontraditional condom markets -- hair salons A hair salon (also called 'Hairdresser' and 'Hair Parlour')is a place where one goes to get their hair cut, as well as styled, highlighted or coloured.
