Demand is going through the roof for gymnastics-strength shower rods -- all thanks to "Love & Hip Hop" star Mimi Faust's sex tape acrobatics -- and Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, and Walmart are struggling to keep up.
We called employees at each of the major retailers (from Georgia to Cali) and we're getting the same story -- ever since the trailer for Mimi's sex tape came out, people have been racing to purchase their own super-strong shower rods to recreate the Mimi experience.
And supplies are running out -- a customer at one Home Depot in Georgia tells us, they were totally sold out of Mimi-strength shower rods.
This is a real thing -- a Twitter search for "Mimi shower rod" shows an endless list of people trying to get their hands on one. There's even a Twitter account dedicated to it (@MimiShowerRod). And don't even get us started on the Vine videos.
We reached out to officials at Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, and Target -- no word back so far.
What is this Playboy of which you speak?
Oh good Lord...
Does this mean Obama and Biden will be
tweeting out new selfies from the shower???
Anthony Weiner’s sex tape caused a run on hot dog buns.
The weird thing is that there is one sex shop in town that looks like it hasn’t changed its inventory since the Rat Pack. In fact, it looks like it was designed by Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. I’m not even sure that they upgraded their 8mm stag films to VHS yet. It is the “go to” place for crude postcards and “chicken inspector” badges.
And yet somehow they still continue. It’s like visiting a sex shop museum. A friend speculated that some rich old deviant died and left it in his will, that his inheritors will only have access to millions of dollars as long as they keep the sex shop open.
Most potential customers walk through the door, look around puzzled, then leave. They may not even have money in the cash register.
she looks desperate trying to make some money and gety fame
We can always hope.
LOL,
I had just read a previous thread showing (not showering, yet) of Obama and Biden in the Limo doing a selfie.
I guess I just let my imagination run wild - how they
feel the need to keep up with the younguns.
Sad world - i guess anything is possible at this point
in time...
