BFD! why is this such a big deal...if you want to shop there, shop there. if you don't like the products or have no use for what they carry then keep walking.
i'm all for the underdog small business owner who gives it a go. i may just have to stop in to support them!

It's a big deal when you need a new toy or some awesome game or lube or something, or if your strap breaks.......... anyway, it's right in your neighborhood!!!! Lovely loveliness!!!!!!!!

I was walking by the storefront yesterday and a woman looked at it and commented "Bump, Babeland...geez, does every store on this block have something to do with babies?"
I thought about correcting her, but I didn't want to ruin the future comic moment when she shows up there looking for a baby gift.

I think if you go to Babeland first, you may end up at Bump. all depends on what you buy and who you use it with.

a camerman and reporter from newschannel 4 were outside the store today around 7.30.
given everything else that's happening in the world these days, im a bit surprised this is newsworthy.

Sue Simmons: "An erotic toystore that's being welcomed by the neighborhood -- tonight at 11."

You posted preciously that you would never go in there! I believe "a wig and sunglasses" were mentioned.

you are correct, i did say that. however, in my defense, it's one thing to go to an opening night media party--i used to be part of the media so i know the drill--yet another to be in there buying goodies. i'll do the former, but not the latter.

let me understand: the boyfriend is excited that you're going media whoring?
and if a couple of vibrators slip into your bag, all the better?

do you know anything about media events? before i left the corporate world to become an artist i worked as a journalist for nearly 20 years. going to an event is not whoring. and whoring, frankly, is a vile word.
your personal insults and accusations toward me, in the last few weeks, are so out-of-line i'm surprised you haven't been kicked off the board. we may disagree, but i don't recall saying anything personally insulting toward you.
learn some manners, some civility, and go read the rules of the board in regard to being nice and personal attacks _________________ what would you tell me, if i could hear you speaking?--t.r.
