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.”

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
11:57 #2….last i checked 25% did not constitute a majority.
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.
More kegels, less bagels.
considering that the majority of people in brooklyn are very overweight regardless of their race and economic state this arguement is pointless.
But…dare I ask…will the store allow strollers….?
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?
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.
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.
