Google Leaves Something Out

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

Thanks to Gawker, I noticed that Google’s logo today seems to be missing the “L”. Maybe it’s incorporated into the strawberry, but I really don’t think so.

What I like the best is Gawker’s suggestion for how to add back in that missing “L”

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Condoms on the Subway

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

condoms medNew York City launched it’s condom campaign today to coincide with Valentine’s Day. I just got my hands on some (in honor of the subway design, they were being handed out at subway stations) and I love the design so much, I don’t think I’ll actually want to use them. But I certainly hope others will! New York City has 100,000 residents living with HIV so continuing education and prevention is crucial. These condoms are part of a campaign by Mayor Bloomberg to reduce HIV rates and overall STI rates in New York City.

This condom launch also coincides with National Condom Week!

Babeland Parties!

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

partiesWhen Babeland decides to throw a party, you better believe we know how to do it right. This past Sunday, our Mercer street location had it’s second Singles Bash. We had the first one over Pride weekend and it was a resounding success so we decided to bring it back just in time for Valentine’s Day.

The best part of the Singles Bash is the flirt board. When you come into Babeland, you get a number. Scattered throughout the store are pieces of paper. When you find a cute person that you want to talk to you, you grab a piece of paper and write their number on the front. On the back you can chose from different options including: “I think you’re cute”, “I’m shy but I want to talk to you”, etc. Write down what you want and put it on the flirt board. Then, spend the rest of the party waiting for notes with your number on them or writing other notes. It’s a fun and no-pressure way to flirt for those of us who might have a bit more trouble just walking up to someone.

Sunday’s Single’s Bash was another hit! We had over 90 people dancing and drinking and flirting the night away. We even gave out free vibrators!

I’m sure that Babeland will host this party again so be on the lookout!
