Slope Babeland Will be Baby-, Mommy-Proofed

An article in the Daily News talks about how the Park Slope branch of Toys in Babeland will cater to the neighborhood’s demographic, which apparently includes a lot of moms with babies. The Bergen Street sex-toy shop, which is opening tomorrow, will have a changing table in the bathroom, and its owner intends to run workshops for new moms. In addition, the store won’t display erotic toys in its window. The article’s writer found a couple people who said they’re opposed to Babeland opening in the Slope (“I don’t think it’s a good idea. There are so many kids in the neighborhood,” said one), but Babeland’s owner says she’s mostly gotten positive feedback about the biz. And the owner of maternity shop Bump, also on Bergen Street, says her store isn’t necessarily so different from Babeland. “We’re in the maternity business, so we’re in the business of sex, too,” she said. “One leads to the other.”

i can’t wait to buy a new vibrator. i hear that bunny one is the best
I’ll be watching Fox to see that story. Speaking as a former TV reporter, I love awful local news stories about non-subjects.
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.
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.
jeez.
Just got cornered by a Fox 5 reporter trying to make some controversy about Babeland in Strollerville.
What’s the bid deal?
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.

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.
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.
