OK, so, have you ever tried to explain what the Kama Sutra is to a teenager? I don't recommend it, cause now my face is the same colour as the red tablecloth I've been using as a photo backdrop. (Cause I'm all professional.) Anyway, one of the teenagers at the shelter came in to the room I was working and picked up a collector plate donated to us by Orbiting Trends. "What's this?" she asked. Innocently. I explained that they were collectors plates which are plates that are so fancy, you can't eat off them. So really, why are they plates? "No, no, what's the picture?" she asked. I hadn't really looked at them yet, but a quick glance reminded me of the drawings in the classic book from India, the Kama Sutra. She didn't know what that was. "It's a book," I began, "with drawing of every se.... every sexual ... um... you know ... position." She was appalled, more because there's an actual paper book of such things, when there's the Internet, but also I'm an old person, basically a strange old person, talking about you know what. I think I was more embarrassed than she was. Which brings me to this plate, which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Kama Sutra, because it was painted in Russia by Russian artists, who are all dressed with nothing wonky going on. It's a plate. with a woman, and some rabbits, and it's from The Bradford Exchange and comes with a certificate of authenticity. But the description is all in Russian, so I honestly don't know what it's about. But it's cute. And it's PG. So buy it!
:) Also, it comes with a $20 gift card to shop at Orbiting Trends. For more info, visit Orbiting Trends Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/orbitingtrends/
