Slope Babeland Will be Baby-, Mommy-Proofed

Babeland should do well in the Slope. All of these Slope moms have had kids and consequently their bodies are all distorted and loose. Their husbands don't want to have sex with them anymore, so they're going to need some sex toys.

Here we go...again.

Will they have any glory holes? Some Park Slope moms can earn some extra income while watching junior in the stroller...

10:15, I hear ya

Serious question...as a gay man in Park Slope, will this store be for me also, or mainly geared towards women?

Any fun gay porn or anything...?

You plainly don't live in Park Slope or visit there, 10:13.

The typical Park Slope mom goes to yoga and she is fit. It's the moms who can't afford a babysitter or nanny who don't exercise. Not the more privileged Park Slope moms. I don't live there anymore and I'm not a fan of the mom-culture there either, but you're an idiot, 10:13.

However I don't think a sex toy shop will do well there. The moms wouldn't want their neighbors or the other moms from PS 321 seeing them walk in or out that place. Remember it's Brooklyn, it's a smallish neighborhood, you run into people you know on the sidewalks ALL the time. If this were in Manhattan it's a one in a million chance you see someone you know as you exit the sex shop. In Park Slope it's one in ten.

10:13 nailed it.

10:13 = 10:34

So freakin excited about this store opening. It's just what Park Slope needs.

I think the notion that in the age of Sex and the City (and most women I know giving out BJ's as if they are handshakes), not that many folks are ashamed to go and buy themselves a little toy. Think how many women will go here to buy presents for their still single Manhattan gal pals. Or the baskets to be made for the best friend's shower. Or all the freakin lezzies who don't give two rats asses about who sees them go inside to buy their gallon drums of vegan lube.

The woman in the picture runs a very good business. I've been to the stores in Seattle and in Soho. No way she didn't do some serious research before opening this location.

Don't kid yourself, 10:30. Park Slope moms are indeed "fit" in some sense, but not in the relevant sense. After you have that first child, you can do kegel exercises for 15 hours a day for the next ten years and you'll never be the tight young thing you once were. That's just a fact of life. It's why PS husbands aren't interested in sex and it's why PS moms will be spending a lot of time at Babeland.

Moms in Park Slope are some of the hottest I've seen.

Clearly none of you have been outside of NYC in a VERY long time.

Go to the burbs sometime. Most women over the age of 30 look as though they've had 10 kids, even if they've had NONE.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 11:33 AM

10:57 - I'm sorry, did you do a survey? How the hell do you know what PS husbands do or don't do? Seriously, you are an idiot and probably a complete loser. Sorry no one f's you or loves you. maybe you need the excercise?

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 11:49 AM

But...dare I ask...will the store allow strollers....?

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 11:57 AM

considering that the majority of people in brooklyn are very overweight regardless of their race and economic state this arguement is pointless.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 11:57 AM

More kegels, less bagels.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 12:15 PM

I'll speak for some of the lesbians in Park Slope, including lesbian parents... Hooray!!! We can't wait to have you here, and we will be bringing in our children.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 12:19 PM

11:57 #2....last i checked 25% did not constitute a majority.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 12:34 PM

what does weight have to do with all this?

and come on, this is new york-
i see worse things than a dildo on
bus stop signs

Anyone who would complain about this store opening:

1. Hasn't lived in NYC for more than 5 years and has no idea that Times Square used to be the crossroads of the Porn/Sex Industry

2. Doesn't realize that they aren't in Kansas anymore

3. Hasn't had sex in 3 decades

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 1:02 PM

I plan to bring my children into this store, buy my wife some sex toys for our use, and immediately proceed to the closest bar for an afternoon beer. Ahhh, beer.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 1:31 PM

My wife and I often have sex with our children in the same room, watching. It's good for children to see their parents expressing love for each other. The way some of you talk, you'd think a child's head would explode upon the first sight of a nude body! Get over it.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 1:45 PM

They have bars in Park Slope? Thats outrageous. How can we conceal this from the kids?

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 1:46 PM

I also find PS moms to be pretty hot - Looking good, ladies!

1:45, you might want to rephrase your opening line, and even if you do, I'm not sure it's something to be bragging about.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 4:26 PM

I'm sure Babeland will do just as well as Pink Pussycat on Fifth Avenue.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 4:53 PM

worst. idea. ever. won't last 6 months. i'm not offended by what's on offer, it's just a stupid idea in such a high rent area.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 6:16 PM

well, 4:53
pink pussycat is great if you want to buy a feather duster.
some people are beyond that sweetheart

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 6:23 PM

If you're going to pick on people please be humorous, 10:13. First, let's remember that as you age, 10:13, your proud male privates will eventually take on the "loose distorted" shape of three day old wedding balloons. Undoubtedly your chest will succumb to gravity and begin to slide gently south so that your nipples point down to a belly that could make cottage cheese gag. The one ray of hope you have 10:13 is that an irate PS mom will identify you and put an end to your humorless existence thus protecting your now flawless body from the horrors of aging.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 7:18 PM

Babeland is MUCH classier than Pink Pussycat.

Babeland only has a handful of stores....Soho, East Village, Melrose Ave in West Hollywood and Pike's Peak in Seattle.

I think Park Slope should be proud to be added to that list of high profile neighborhoods.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 7:25 PM

10:13 = loserville, usa

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 7:49 PM

There is only ONE REASON why there would be people wishing that this business (and others) would fail, as so many on this website seem to do.

It's a little thing called envy.

Envious that instead of opening your own business, you watch American Idol on Tivo and scratch your balls every night.

No other explanation why someone would say that this place will not succeed.

It's really immature behavior which is the sign of someone who needs some serious therapy.

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 7:52 PM

jeez.

Just got cornered by a Fox 5 reporter trying to make some controversy about Babeland in Strollerville.

What's the bid deal?

Posted by: guest at June 4, 2008 9:15 PM

Pink Pussycat is a shameful excuse for a sex store. My wife and I stop in there every couple of months to see if they've improved and it's always the same sad Leg Avenue stockings, boring porn (FYI: best porn store=Royal Video on Flatbush. Why buy when you can rent?), and silly novelty nurse outfits. I have no idea how they stay in business. I'm looking forward to babeland.

Perfect day: A new butt-plug followed by a #15 at City Sub then a few pints at Black Sheep.

Posted by: guest at June 5, 2008 9:54 AM

It really isn't a big deal at all. What is up everyone's butt? Why does a federal case need to be made about everything by these people? Babeland is a perfect addition to a neighborhood with young mothers who may or may not be sex deprived, or whose sex lives may be dwindling because they just had a kid. There is a great book that deals with exactly this issue HUMP: TRUE TALES OF SEX AFTER KIDS. Pick up a copy people, and you will realize just how good of an idea this store really is.

I'll be watching Fox to see that story. Speaking as a former TV reporter, I love awful local news stories about non-subjects.

i can't wait to buy a new vibrator. i hear that bunny one is the best
