Spank Us With Gucci!

By Karl Treacy

We've had the yoga mat, the Frisbee, the hand weights, and the surfboard. But those sterling silver handcuffs should have prepared us for designer Tom Ford's newest hot accessory idea -- the Gucci spanker.

If, like the terminally innocent team at FWD, you're not terribly sure what a spanker is -- though it doesn't take much imagination to guess -- a quick Google search turned up a rather visual site called rudemetal.com, featuring the kind of accessories destined never to make it into a rag industry trade mag.

British tabloid The Sun, hardly known for being chaste, has gushed enthusiastically about the kinky designer sex toy, reporting that ever since a picture of it appeared in the UK version of Esquire, Gucci has been inundated with calls seeking information on the not-yet-available leather strap. All the inquiries have apparently been from women.

According to a Gucci spokesperson, the spanker will retail for about 160 euros in calfskin (which packs a softer punch). For the more decadent, it also comes in crocodile. Due to bow in all major Gucci stores in early September, judging by the reaction in the UK, stock may sell out in that country before it even hits the shop floor.

Upon reflection, it really was only a matter of time before Ford, a creator of such highly sexed fashion and imagery, went one step beyond playful suggestion. It makes you wonder whom those Gucci dog bowls were really meant for.

the Tom Ford Gucci machine is turning thats for sure. I still feel he puts these things out to "push the limits" and create crap. I think it's unique that it's a "spanker" but at the same time, crap.

No! It's not stupid. I was talking about SpaceMiu's comment earlier. He thought the Gucci whip was stupid, but wants to come to the party.

All I can say is . . . Bye, Bye Gucci!

People can go to their local sex stores to get spankers, vibrators, etc. but at Gucci? Not only is it a rip-off (160 euros, there are much cheaper!my friend uses! ) but people go to Gucci for good clothing not sex stuff! All I can say is I wanna get rid of some Gucci items I have and kick Tom's as* out of YSL before he puts YSL vibrators with the YSL logo you see in their make-up!

He just thinks he is way to cool!

That's with any store. They may have items you don't want or don't like seeing, but you buy from the store anyway. I really don't think this will hurt his sells.
