CPCF- Piercings

HORRAY for another Crazy Phone Call Friday!!! This actually happened on a Friday after I had already lined up Part IV of the Short and Not so Sweet Stories. So I figured I’d save this one for December because it was priceless…

It was coming to the end of a long evening at Love Lips and I was very much ready to go home. My fiancée had stopped by to pick up the computer on her way home so I was reading a novel from the library when the phone rang. I marked my place as I reached over to get the phone. On the second ring I hit the ‘Talk’ button, “Love Lips, how can help you?”

“Hey Sireana, its Concord” A man said on the other line.

“Hey Concord, what’s up?” Concord worked over at our sister store in Middle River, closer to where I lived.

“Hey, I got a lady over here looking for piercings, I think I remember the last time I worked over there you guys had some.”

“Yeah we have assorted jewelry, what kind was she looking for?” I said, I am always looking to get rid of some of this body jewelry they gave us, it wasn’t a big seller.

“Hey ma’am what kind of body jewelry were you lookin’ for?” Concord asked her and I heard a woman’s muffled voice but couldn’t make out what was being said.

When Concord didn’t reiterate what the woman said and was very quiet I decided to list the types of jewelry we did have, “We have tongue, belly button, and eyebrow rings in metal and plastic” I said to him and I listened to him list off what I said to the woman over the phone.

There was another short pause as she said something to him and the next time he spoke his voice sounded a little strained, “Do you have any piercings lower than the face?”

“Like belly button rings?” ‘Lower than the face could range from nipple rings, belly button rings, and clitoris rings. Yes I said clitoris rings. Why people get their clitoris pierced is beyond me, it sounds excruciatingly painful. I also think it would be easily removed, not in a nice way, because the skin there is so sensitive and thin. But whatever floats your boat, right?

“Like piercings for ‘down there’…” His voice got tiny and awkward.

We both work at porn stores, why couldn’t he just say it? So I said, “Like as in for the clitoris?”

“Yes…” His voice got more awkward.

Strange, Concord is always very out-spoken and I didn’t realize despite him working there for God knows how long he had issues with saying something that is pictured all over the store. “She can come look but I have no idea what gauge and style that is.”

“O-Ok…well expect two ladies to stop by to look”

“Alright! Thanks Concord”

“Yeah…bye” He said quickly and hung up the phone.

I guess it’s just me who’s alright with saying clitoris, vagina, penis, and other assorted words I have gotten strange looks for saying. I sometimes think people forget what kind of industry this is, those words happen!
