00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,735
Investing
in your sexuality is
3
00:00:13,769 --> 00:00:15,303
investing in
your well-being.

00:00:15,336 --> 00:00:17,673

5
00:00:17,706 --> 00:00:20,842
But aren't you worth it?
Isn't your pleasure worth it?
6
00:00:20,876 --> 00:00:23,111
I think
my vagina's worth it.
7
00:00:23,144 --> 00:00:26,114
I think your vagina's
worth it, too, Karley.

00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:34,856
Karley: They say you can't
put a price tag on love,
11
00:00:34,890 --> 00:00:36,992
but this butt plug cost $7,
12
00:00:37,025 --> 00:00:40,729
and it's a piece of garbage/it
gave me a yeast infection.
13
00:00:40,762 --> 00:00:43,899
Do I have a budget sex life?
14
00:00:43,932 --> 00:00:46,735
As a general rule, the more
expensive something is,
15
00:00:46,768 --> 00:00:48,870
the better, and by that logic,
16
00:00:48,904 --> 00:00:51,039
the more money you spend
on your sex life,
17
00:00:51,072 --> 00:00:53,875
the more fulfilling it must be.
18
00:00:53,909 --> 00:00:57,713
Well, considering that free
orgasms are totally inoffensive,
19
00:00:57,746 --> 00:01:02,417
imagine having an orgasm
that costs as much as car.
20
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:06,722
Wait, do I need to invest
more money in my vagina?
21
00:01:06,755 --> 00:01:18,299
**
22
00:01:18,333 --> 00:01:21,369
Nowadays, any empowered slut
can walk into a sex shop
23
00:01:21,402 --> 00:01:24,005
and choose from an array
of trashy plastic dildos
24
00:01:24,039 --> 00:01:25,841
and mock lace skankware,
25
00:01:25,874 --> 00:01:29,244
but back in the day,
owning sex toys was a luxury,
26
00:01:29,277 --> 00:01:33,214
and people took pride in
crafting beautiful sex objects.
27
00:01:33,248 --> 00:01:35,383
**
28
00:01:35,416 --> 00:01:37,986
Stuart is the brand ambassador
for LELO,
29
00:01:38,019 --> 00:01:42,490
one of the largest producers of
luxury sex objects in the world.
30
00:01:42,523 --> 00:01:45,193
He's also an expert
in fancy sex stuff
31
00:01:45,226 --> 00:01:49,230
and has offered to give me
a lesson in vintage hedonism.
32
00:01:49,264 --> 00:01:56,104
**
33
00:01:56,137 --> 00:01:57,939
Antique vibrators?
34
00:01:57,973 --> 00:01:59,407
Stuart:
Yeah, beautiful, right?
35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,477
These seem dangerous.
36
00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:04,245
Yeah,
they look dangerous.
37
00:02:04,279 --> 00:02:06,081
These three examples are from
the turn of the 20th century
38
00:02:06,114 --> 00:02:09,084
where electricity was
revolutionizing our sex lives.
39
00:02:09,117 --> 00:02:13,154
You're looking at 120-year-old
luxury sex toys here.
40
00:02:13,188 --> 00:02:15,190
The design has changed
a bit over the years.
41
00:02:15,223 --> 00:02:16,758
Yeah.
42
00:02:16,792 --> 00:02:19,127
Like, something that you
would make a cake with.
43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,896
Right?
44
00:02:20,929 --> 00:02:22,297
These would probably be
quite expensive for their time
45
00:02:22,330 --> 00:02:23,965
'cause these are incredibly
innovative products.
46
00:02:23,999 --> 00:02:25,233
If you could figure out a way
to plug these in,
47
00:02:25,266 --> 00:02:27,936
these would still
get the job done.
48
00:02:27,969 --> 00:02:30,005
Do you know of any kings
or queens
49
00:02:30,038 --> 00:02:33,208
that were known for having
a really luxurious sex life?
50
00:02:33,241 --> 00:02:36,277
Catherine the Great
was the czarina of Russia
51
00:02:36,311 --> 00:02:38,847
in the 18th century.
52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,016
She had installed in
one of her palaces
53
00:02:41,049 --> 00:02:44,185
a hidden, luxurious sex room
where she had painted the walls
54
00:02:44,219 --> 00:02:46,187
in erotic images
55
00:02:46,221 --> 00:02:49,257
as a kind of sex nest
for her and her partners,
56
00:02:49,290 --> 00:02:52,160
with credibly explicit,
ornamental table
57
00:02:52,193 --> 00:02:53,561
that has
penises for legs,
58
00:02:53,594 --> 00:02:55,563
like, huge ones
that come up to your waist.
59
00:02:55,596 --> 00:02:58,033
Wow!
60
00:02:58,066 --> 00:03:03,004
**
61
00:03:03,038 --> 00:03:04,873
Stuart represents LELO,
62
00:03:04,906 --> 00:03:06,942
a company that designs
every-day sex toys
63
00:03:06,975 --> 00:03:09,177
for the slutty feminist,
64
00:03:09,210 --> 00:03:12,147
but it also sells one of
the most expensive vibrators
65
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:14,315
in existence.
66
00:03:14,349 --> 00:03:16,017
Glamorous!
67
00:03:16,051 --> 00:03:17,485
Is the LELO
gold vibrator
68
00:03:17,518 --> 00:03:19,955
the most expensive
vibrator in the universe?
69
00:03:19,988 --> 00:03:21,890
I don't know
about the universe,
70
00:03:21,923 --> 00:03:23,191
but it's certainly
on this planet.
71
00:03:23,224 --> 00:03:24,192
Yeah.
-It is?
72
00:03:24,225 --> 00:03:26,061
Yeah, it's $15,000.
73
00:03:26,094 --> 00:03:29,831
I think it's still the most
expensive sex toy in the world.
74
00:03:29,865 --> 00:03:32,467
Do you sell
a lot of gold vibrators?
75
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:34,369
Yeah, more than
you expect actually.
76
00:03:34,402 --> 00:03:36,071
There is quite
a market for it.
77
00:03:36,104 --> 00:03:38,073
People who are attracted
to luxury sex toys
78
00:03:38,106 --> 00:03:40,341
probably fall into
about three groups.
79
00:03:40,375 --> 00:03:43,611
There are people who have
just a love for gold,
80
00:03:43,644 --> 00:03:47,248
there are people who do see it
as social prestige,
81
00:03:47,282 --> 00:03:49,084
and then there's
the third group
82
00:03:49,117 --> 00:03:53,488
which is the people who find it
subversive or rebellious.
83
00:03:53,521 --> 00:03:55,423
There's something
inherently naughty
84
00:03:55,456 --> 00:04:00,195
about putting gold inside you
in a very sexual way, you know?
85
00:04:00,228 --> 00:04:02,063
Does a vibrator
being made of gold
86
00:04:02,097 --> 00:04:05,433
actually make the orgasm better
or the experience better?
87
00:04:05,466 --> 00:04:09,104
Your physical sensations and,
in this case, your pleasure,
88
00:04:09,137 --> 00:04:10,638
is a kind of construct
of your mind.
89
00:04:10,671 --> 00:04:14,542
That's where pleasure
is processed, and in that way,
90
00:04:14,575 --> 00:04:17,245
what a gold pleasure
product does is it --
91
00:04:17,278 --> 00:04:19,014
it's a kind of stimulation
for your mind
92
00:04:19,047 --> 00:04:20,615
as much as it is
your body.
93
00:04:20,648 --> 00:04:25,086
So, in that way, I would say
the gold has an advantage
94
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,023
over any other kind of material
for personal pleasure.
95
00:04:28,056 --> 00:04:32,560
So, rich people have better
orgasms than poor people.
96
00:04:32,593 --> 00:04:35,330
Um...no.
97
00:04:35,363 --> 00:04:36,998
I think that rich people
have more expensive orgasms
98
00:04:37,032 --> 00:04:38,299
than poor people.
99
00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:40,969
That's a better way
to put it I think.
100
00:04:41,002 --> 00:04:43,404
**
101
00:04:43,438 --> 00:04:45,473
Talking to Stu, it sounds
like way more people
102
00:04:45,506 --> 00:04:48,409
are indulging in the luxury-sex
market than one would think.
103
00:04:48,443 --> 00:04:50,678
If this industry is so big,
then I wonder want to know --
104
00:04:50,711 --> 00:04:53,949
who else is out there producing
these luxury sex objects?
105
00:04:53,982 --> 00:04:57,685
**
106
00:04:57,718 --> 00:05:00,421
When it comes to the world
of luxury sex objects,
107
00:05:00,455 --> 00:05:02,657
no one compares
to Betony Vernon,
108
00:05:02,690 --> 00:05:04,292
a sexual anthropologist
109
00:05:04,325 --> 00:05:07,395
and a designer
of fine, erotic jewelry.
110
00:05:07,428 --> 00:05:11,499
Her designs have been exhibited
in art museums around the world,
111
00:05:11,532 --> 00:05:13,568
not to mention,
inside the bedrooms
112
00:05:13,601 --> 00:05:16,437
and butt holes
of the sexual elite.
113
00:05:16,471 --> 00:05:19,640
Betony's boudoir box is an
exclusive collector's piece --
114
00:05:19,674 --> 00:05:21,609
a custom set of fine objects
115
00:05:21,642 --> 00:05:23,578
that function as both
sex accessories
116
00:05:23,611 --> 00:05:25,947
and wearable jewelry.
117
00:05:25,981 --> 00:05:28,349
Betony:
I wanted to make something that was bi-functional,
118
00:05:28,383 --> 00:05:30,451
can be used as ornamentation.
119
00:05:30,485 --> 00:05:36,724
It also has a sensorial function
with the power to please.
120
00:05:36,757 --> 00:05:41,696
I think that sex and desire
drive everything that we do.
121
00:05:41,729 --> 00:05:46,067
How many vibrators do you have
under your bed in a box, Karley?
122
00:05:46,101 --> 00:05:48,203
Like, literally 40.
123
00:05:48,236 --> 00:05:49,737
You see?
124
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:51,472
And with my pieces, you don't
put them under the bed.
125
00:05:51,506 --> 00:05:55,676
You might even go as far
as to leave them on the table.
126
00:05:55,710 --> 00:05:59,280
Because they are objects,
also, of design,
127
00:05:59,314 --> 00:06:01,616
and you don't
have to hide them.
128
00:06:01,649 --> 00:06:03,985
**
129
00:06:04,019 --> 00:06:08,623
The fetishist is a lover
of materials that are tactile --
130
00:06:08,656 --> 00:06:12,493
leather, silk, lace.
131
00:06:12,527 --> 00:06:15,563
Why shouldn't a dildo
be beautiful?
132
00:06:15,596 --> 00:06:18,266
Why shouldn't be
in a noble material?
133
00:06:18,299 --> 00:06:20,735
**
134
00:06:20,768 --> 00:06:23,138
What are some of your
favorite sex objects
135
00:06:23,171 --> 00:06:25,106
that you've made
over the years?
136
00:06:25,140 --> 00:06:30,211
Uh, I'm wearing
four of my favorite rings.
137
00:06:30,245 --> 00:06:34,415
These rings are turned
on the inside of the hand
138
00:06:34,449 --> 00:06:40,088
to become extensions of the hand
at the end of the day.
139
00:06:40,121 --> 00:06:41,389
And they're used
for massage.
140
00:06:41,422 --> 00:06:44,025
I'll massage you later.
141
00:06:44,059 --> 00:06:47,162
Great.
142
00:06:47,195 --> 00:06:50,731
This is the Love Lock.
143
00:06:50,765 --> 00:06:55,636
The rings are also shaft rings,
and it becomes like a harness.
144
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:57,205
So, you put it on him...
-Yeah.
145
00:06:57,238 --> 00:06:58,806
...and then
you're locked together,
146
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,109
and you're connected.
147
00:07:01,142 --> 00:07:02,477
Yes.
148
00:07:02,510 --> 00:07:04,045
I get it.
149
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:06,114
Sometimes the objects
are made for sensations
150
00:07:06,147 --> 00:07:08,283
that are lighter
like feathers.
151
00:07:08,316 --> 00:07:13,454
Sometimes they're also made
for more intense sensation
152
00:07:13,488 --> 00:07:17,225
because sometimes people
need more intense sensation
153
00:07:17,258 --> 00:07:20,128
to actually perceive
sensation at all.
154
00:07:20,161 --> 00:07:22,563

155
00:07:22,597 --> 00:07:25,366

Karley.

157
00:07:28,869 --> 00:07:34,709
We are going to the meeting
with a collector of mine.
158
00:07:34,742 --> 00:07:38,379
This is his very special
wedding gift to his wife.

-Ah! Oh, my God.
164

I wasn't --
I wasn't a slut till later.
165
00:07:59,434 --> 00:08:01,836
Yeah.
166
00:08:01,869 --> 00:08:04,739
If it doesn't slide on neatly,
you need more lube.

169
00:08:14,315 --> 00:08:17,385
I believe that ritual is, uh,
what distinguishes
170
00:08:17,418 --> 00:08:19,487
the ordinary
from the extraordinary,
171
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,423
and I want my life
to be extraordinary.
172
00:08:22,457 --> 00:08:24,425
Don't you?
Yeah.

with one
of her fabulous clients
176
00:08:30,165 --> 00:08:31,766

With modifications,
adding anything that has gold,

the price of the box.

00:16:33,413 --> 00:16:36,984
in old-fashioned taboos
and just indulge in them.
354
00:16:37,017 --> 00:16:40,755
So, I've kind of
always enjoyed that.
355
00:16:40,788 --> 00:16:43,724
I remember my first glimpses
at a Playboy magazine
356
00:16:43,758 --> 00:16:45,926
under the bed.
357
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,962
I was so struck
by those women.
358
00:16:47,995 --> 00:16:51,398
I was like, "Oh, I want to
be like those ladies."
359
00:16:51,431 --> 00:16:54,234
I'm a dishwater blonde
from a farming town in Michigan,
360
00:16:54,268 --> 00:16:55,870
and I was, like,
an ugly duckling
361
00:16:55,903 --> 00:16:57,838
and kind of disappeared
into the crowd,
362
00:16:57,872 --> 00:17:00,741
and then when I started using
tools of glamour,
363
00:17:00,775 --> 00:17:02,677
I had power.
364
00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:06,246
**
365
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,050
I overcame really extreme
shyness through dance
366
00:17:10,084 --> 00:17:11,652
and glamour,
367
00:17:11,686 --> 00:17:14,288
like painting myself
and creating a character.
368
00:17:14,321 --> 00:17:20,294
**
369
00:17:20,327 --> 00:17:21,996
What advice would you
give to someone
370
00:17:22,029 --> 00:17:24,932
who's looking to increase
the luxury component of their...
371
00:17:24,965 --> 00:17:26,366
-Mm-hmm.
-...sexual interactions?
372
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,002
Well, you know,
I always say lingerie.
373
00:17:28,035 --> 00:17:29,804
I can't help it.
374
00:17:29,837 --> 00:17:33,207
I've always loved beautiful
lingerie since I was very young.
375
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,944
**
376
00:17:36,977 --> 00:17:40,781
My association
with luxury lingerie
377
00:17:40,815 --> 00:17:43,984
was really about
honoring myself every day
378
00:17:44,018 --> 00:17:47,421
and taking part
in a ritual of being a woman.
379
00:17:47,454 --> 00:17:50,925
I like the texture
of, like, a nice stocking.
380
00:17:50,958 --> 00:17:52,860
I like the snap
of a garter.
381
00:17:52,893 --> 00:17:54,895
I like the feel
of the metal.
382
00:17:54,929 --> 00:17:56,430
Just wear it
because you love it.
383
00:17:56,463 --> 00:17:59,133
Like, self-seduction is
really where it all starts.
384
00:17:59,166 --> 00:18:00,968
Does something have
to be expensive for it
385
00:18:01,001 --> 00:18:04,138
to be considered,
like, luxury or sensual?
386
00:18:04,171 --> 00:18:05,706
I don't think so.
387
00:18:05,740 --> 00:18:07,808
There's a lot of ways to,
like, get there
388
00:18:07,842 --> 00:18:09,777
without spending
a lot of money.
389
00:18:09,810 --> 00:18:14,181
Is it a luxury to take a bath
with rose petals and --
390
00:18:14,214 --> 00:18:17,084
and have a little bowl
of strawberries next to you?
391
00:18:17,117 --> 00:18:18,352
You know, is that --
is that expensive?
392
00:18:18,385 --> 00:18:19,820
No.
393
00:18:19,854 --> 00:18:22,189
But that feels like
luxury to me.
394
00:18:22,222 --> 00:18:24,358
**
395
00:18:24,391 --> 00:18:26,026
Dita's right.
396
00:18:26,060 --> 00:18:28,195
Luxury is about indulging
in whatever makes us
397
00:18:28,228 --> 00:18:30,831
feel like the slut goddesses
that we are.
398
00:18:30,865 --> 00:18:34,501
And personally, speaking as
a narcissistic ex-dominatrix,
399
00:18:34,534 --> 00:18:39,339
my ultimate turn-on is
something painfully specific.
400
00:18:39,373 --> 00:18:43,844
The best sex starts
when you start to get dressed,
401
00:18:43,878 --> 00:18:47,114
and it continues until
you choose to get undressed.
402
00:18:47,147 --> 00:18:50,350
**
403
00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:53,954
**
404
00:18:58,926 --> 00:19:00,995
Karley: As an aspiring sadist,
I'm on my way
405
00:19:01,028 --> 00:19:02,863
to fulfill my life-long fantasy
406
00:19:02,897 --> 00:19:05,866
of buying a custom, latex dress.
407
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:09,003
You know, à la Beyoncé,
Kim Kardashian,
408
00:19:09,036 --> 00:19:11,371
or that "Project Runway" lady.
409
00:19:11,405 --> 00:19:13,273
The goal, of course,
is always to be
410
00:19:13,307 --> 00:19:15,776
the most luxurious slut
in the room.
411
00:19:15,810 --> 00:19:18,378
So, I'm going to the latex
seamstress to the stars,
412
00:19:18,412 --> 00:19:20,080
The Baroness.
413
00:19:20,114 --> 00:19:22,983
Her custom pieces can run
in the thousands of dollars,
414
00:19:23,017 --> 00:19:26,453
but there's also some
affordable slutty options.
415
00:19:26,486 --> 00:19:30,090
Baroness: You looking
for anything in particular?
416
00:19:30,124 --> 00:19:31,859
I'm generally
looking for a dress.
417
00:19:31,892 --> 00:19:35,029
Something that makes me
look expensive.
418
00:19:35,062 --> 00:19:36,330
Oh, okay.
419
00:19:36,363 --> 00:19:37,397
Well, let me show you
where our expensive,
420
00:19:37,431 --> 00:19:40,968
whore-starting-out dress.
421
00:19:41,001 --> 00:19:43,437
So, this is --
Actually, it's our Tart dress.
422
00:19:43,470 --> 00:19:45,039
Do you like the ruby?
Do you like...
423
00:19:45,072 --> 00:19:46,807
I like pink, red.
424
00:19:46,841 --> 00:19:48,943
I don't know.
There's this one. I like that, too.
425
00:19:48,976 --> 00:19:50,945
I mean, I like everything,
so it's hard.
426
00:19:50,978 --> 00:19:52,913
Well, I'll give you
a few things to try on.
427
00:19:52,947 --> 00:19:55,415
So, come back here.
428
00:19:55,449 --> 00:19:56,884
When you get dressed,
you want to put it on
429
00:19:56,917 --> 00:19:58,152
using this product here.
430
00:19:58,185 --> 00:20:00,020
It'll make it slide
on your body easily,
431
00:20:00,054 --> 00:20:03,490
and just kind of around the
parts where it's gonna be tight.
432
00:20:03,523 --> 00:20:05,159
Give me a shout
if you need any help,
433
00:20:05,192 --> 00:20:08,262
and it doesn't slide on easily,
you need more lube.
434
00:20:08,295 --> 00:20:13,600
**
435
00:20:13,633 --> 00:20:15,202
Oh, good.
Okay.
436
00:20:15,235 --> 00:20:16,536
Come out and let me
just sort of fiddle with you
437
00:20:16,570 --> 00:20:19,006
because you're not
appropriately dressed yet.
438
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:21,909
Okay.
Oh, I feel all lubed up.
439
00:20:21,942 --> 00:20:24,378
The dress should be
more flat on your body.
440
00:20:24,411 --> 00:20:26,947
**
441
00:20:26,981 --> 00:20:29,449
But this dress is
a little bit too big for you.
442
00:20:29,483 --> 00:20:31,551
It should fit you
like that.
443
00:20:31,585 --> 00:20:36,023
Would you say that latex
is considered a luxury?
444
00:20:36,056 --> 00:20:38,959
The thing about luxury is
that you have the time,
445
00:20:38,993 --> 00:20:40,394
which is the luxury.
446
00:20:40,427 --> 00:20:42,596
You have the occasion,
which is a luxury.
447
00:20:42,629 --> 00:20:44,231
And then you have
the Baroness latex,
448
00:20:44,264 --> 00:20:46,366
which is a luxury, so...
449
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,168
Yeah,
it should be a luxury.
450
00:20:48,202 --> 00:20:51,438
And when do you think that latex
made the crossover
451
00:20:51,471 --> 00:20:52,973
between being something
that people thought of
452
00:20:53,007 --> 00:20:55,075
as associated with sex
and S and M
453
00:20:55,109 --> 00:20:57,377
to being more,
like, high fashion?
454
00:20:57,411 --> 00:21:00,647
It really had to be more just
the celebrities wearing it.
455
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,084
People are thinking
about it more as fun, you know?
456
00:21:04,118 --> 00:21:05,252
"I'm a rock star."
457
00:21:05,285 --> 00:21:06,887
Do you feel like
wearing latex
458
00:21:06,921 --> 00:21:08,956
gives a woman
a certain type of power?
459
00:21:08,989 --> 00:21:10,357
Oh, without a doubt.
460
00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:12,059
It's almost unfair.
461
00:21:12,092 --> 00:21:13,360
I mean, you go out,
and you go like, "Well, I win.
462
00:21:13,393 --> 00:21:16,931
I just look the best
out of everyone here."
463
00:21:16,964 --> 00:21:19,233
I think that the best sex
that you can possibly
464
00:21:19,266 --> 00:21:21,268
have generally starts
at the beginning
465
00:21:21,301 --> 00:21:22,903
when you start
to get dressed
466
00:21:22,937 --> 00:21:25,005
and it continues
all through that time
467
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:27,541
until you choose,
or not choose, to get undressed.
468
00:21:27,574 --> 00:21:29,009
It's about the ritual.
469
00:21:29,043 --> 00:21:30,477
It is.
It is.
470
00:21:30,510 --> 00:21:34,414
**
471
00:21:34,448 --> 00:21:37,017
I love the whole ritual of
my clothing being laid out
472
00:21:37,051 --> 00:21:39,153
while having a glass
of champagne,
473
00:21:39,186 --> 00:21:41,288
choosing, you know,
this jewel or that jewel.
474
00:21:41,321 --> 00:21:44,024
All of that
is charging energy.
475
00:21:44,058 --> 00:21:46,626
Have time
to remove your day
476
00:21:46,660 --> 00:21:49,196
and become the goddess
that you are.
477
00:21:49,229 --> 00:22:01,041
**
478
00:22:01,075 --> 00:22:02,442
What I learned
from my time spent
479
00:22:02,476 --> 00:22:04,378
with an array
of glamour sex-perts
480
00:22:04,411 --> 00:22:07,982
is that investing in your
sexuality can never hurt,
481
00:22:08,015 --> 00:22:13,587
be it with money, time, passion,
or golden vagina jewelry.
482
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,389
It's about more
than just pleasure.
483
00:22:15,422 --> 00:22:17,391
It's the ultimate rebellion.
484
00:22:17,424 --> 00:22:21,495
And for me, luxury means
creating a sexy, sacred space
485
00:22:21,528 --> 00:22:26,233
where I can finger myself
while dressed like a royal slut.
486
00:22:26,266 --> 00:22:29,169
To each their own.
487
00:22:29,203 --> 00:22:31,405
Bling you later, sluts.
488
00:22:31,438 --> 00:22:33,140
