Queer Eye for the Sex Toy Buy
Thursday, June 25, 7:00pm, FREE!
We’re pretty sure that it was queers who invented sex toys-and if we didn’t invent them, at the very least, we perfected their use. And made them safe for the rest of the world. And added the sparkles. After all, we do all the things straight folks do-we just do it with more accessories. So if you consider yourself gay, lesbian, bisexual, intersexed, transgender, queer or questioning and are looking for a new sex toy, some harness and dildo tips, or some affordable safer sex supplies, stop by the store for free mini-workshops at 8pm and 9pm and goodies.
