Miss VV (or as her Canadian passport would say Véronique Verreault) is a bold entrepreneur.
She’s a self-made woman who had had more careers in her short 27 years than most will have in a life time. Miss VV got her Bachelor of Commerce in management from McGill University and from there did time working in aviation, banks, schools, retirement homes, hotel and dentist offices clocking administrative work, but her true passion as always belly dancing.
“I was fascinated with Shakira when I was a teenager,” she tells me. “It helped me become independent and improve my self-confidence. Next thing you know, I did one show and started to get contracts. I was able to share my passions with amazing women and eventually was approached by a gym to teach.”
For Miss VV, belly dancing was a place to gain self-esteem and help other women explore their sexual confidence and physical health as well as get in touch with their sensuality. She finds empowerment in her sexuality and grew up in a household that was kept an open dialogue about sex. While the other teenagers were giggling nervously in sex ed class, Miss VV was attentively listening and absorbing the information without a hint of blush in her cheeks.
With such a confident and curious outlook about her own sexuality as well as her acute business sense, it was only a matter of time before Miss VV got involved in the sex industry. Her latest venture is an interactive vibrator she’s named “Miss On The Go”. The unique tech sex toy connects to an app on your iPhone that allows you and your partner to play at any distance and promotes healthy Kegel exercises on a regiment you design for yourself with the app.
“I have been doing my Kegel exercises for years and when I talked about them with my friends, they barely knew what they were,” she says. “For those of us with a vagina, toning your pelvic muscles is important for increases your level of orgasms during intercourse, prevent leaking and it is also very crucial before and after giving birth.”
Miss On The Go lets you go wild on the pleasure whenever you want. The small vibrator is inserted into the vagina and can be kept in anytime of day. Not only does it work to tone your pelvic muscles, but also pops in pleasurable vibrations to keep you stimulated. With five vibration settings and 25 hours continuous use this discreet and quiet sex toy is made from medical grade silicone. The product is still in its development stages and is expected to hit the market May 2015. Currently, Miss VV is running a campaign to raise money for the project.
There are a million sex toys on the market right now. Everything from Vajankles to wands to revamped, modernized versions of the classics we all know, but this toy is not only about keeping a healthy, active vagina, but also being able to keep pleasure going with your partner (or without, Miss VV herself is currently single) when you are not in the same room. Yes, it seems totally space-age and a little intimidating to have a device connecting you and your sexuality to your iPhone, but this is the world we live in now. Even our god damn G-spots can be mobile. I mean, why not?
“When one is sexually fulfilled it reflects in every sphere and your confidence,” Miss VV states. The conversation surrounding sexually pleasure is open wide (pun totally intended) and I think this is good. You go to the gym and work out your arms, abs and thighs, so why wouldn’t you strengthen your sex muscles? Fact: orgasms are awesome.
