Publicity
Violet wands were first featured publicly on HBO's Real Sex Episode 30, Sex Machines.cum, a look at high tech sex devices. They have also been seen on Queer as Folk 2nd season, episode 11, in Cirque du Soleil performances and in Stuff which named the Eclectic Electric company as the (then) largest manufacturer and distributor of the device. Another early publicity session was a 2003 phone interview by Playboy Radio with a manufacturer and the leading expert, Violetwanda, in which she described how to use the device.

Famous quotes containing the word publicity:
“Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man’s ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“Publicity is the life of this culture—in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive—and at the same time publicity is its dream.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“I saw the best minds of my generation
Reading their poems to Vassar girls,
Being interviewed by Mademoiselle.
Having their publicity handled by professionals.
When can I go into an editorial office
And have my stuff published because I’m weird?
I could go on writing like this forever . . .”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
