My housemate owns one and, the more I think about it, the more it creeps me out that I have to stick my wine bottle up a ladies' skirt to get it off - the cork, I mean. Am I just being prudish? The corkscrew comes in a range of super-sweet ice cream colours, after all, and I can confirm that the bottle opening technique works a treat. What do you think?
Not just you - her extending wind up neck is strange.
ReplyDeleteI love mine, have it in green and keep it on the kitchen windowsill where it never fails to make me smile. Have you seen the little devil bottle openers they have too?

Now you've pointed out that you have to put the wine bottle up the lady's skirt, as if she's a drunken Big Brother contestant, they're definitely CREEPY for me.
ReplyDeleteIm going to go with creepy, the fact you have to shove a bottle up their skirt whilst they have that inane grin on there little shiny faces does not appeal in the slightest!
ReplyDeleteI have the yellow one on my kitchen windowsill and I love it. That said, I lent this to my neighbour when she first moved in...oh god what if she thought it was weird too?!
ReplyDeleteWhat I like most about them is if you lift her arms all the way up, it looks like she needs a good shave, and that she's happy about it.
