This weekend was the first annual Bergen Street Lot Party at our store in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We had a fantastic time asking Sex Trivia questions to passerby and were pleasantly surprised at how knowledgeable everyone was!

Down the street, Private Stock, a men’s clothing boutique, held a motorcycle and pin-up girl competition.   Even the Babeland Babes were impressed by how studly the attendees were!

Our Babeland Vulva was so excited by the crowd that she just had to hop on a bike to show off.  Host to a sea of one hundred bikes, Bergen Street was happy have a bit of estrogen on the scene!

Here at Babeland we love providing our customers with an educated and well informed shopping experience. You guys have really enjoyed our Staff Picks feature, where we reveal a little bit about ourselves and the toys we really love, use, and recommend the most. That’s me Krista at the bottom.

Part of my job here at Babeland is sending review products out to sex toy reviewers and bloggers. They are people just like you and I, who just happen to be part of our affiliate review program and know a thing or two about sex toys. In turn they send me their honest opinions and post product reviews to their blogs. You can find some of these reviews posted in our Guest Toy Reviews and follow @BabelandReviews on twitter for the latest.

Inspired by our review program and Staff Picks we are now presenting monthly Bloggers’ Picks, where our sexperts present their favorites and give you even more reasons to indulge.

Here are some highlights from this month’s Bloggers’ Picks feature: (more…)

This month marks the 1st year anniversary of the event Sex Worker Literati, hosted by David Henry Sterry and Zoe Hansen. Come out and see a eclectic group of characters, in the spirit of the anthology Hookers, Hoes, CallGirls and RentBoys, perform at the Bowery Poetry Club next Wednesday night. If you want come out in support the voices of sex workers or are just interested in hearing some unique stories, this is an event not to be missed. There will also be raffle prizes from Babeland at the event!

Sex Worker Literati is moving uptown — and by uptown, we mean the Bowery — for a lust-drenched 1-year anniversary cavalcade extravaganza. After packing them in downtown every month for year, Sex Worker Literati sheds its skin and reinvents itself at the great East Village landmark that has come to represent the nest in words: the Bowery Poetry Club. Besides our usual collection of stranger than fiction tales from the seething underbelly of America’s sex trenches, we’re adding brazen, bawdy burlesque. It hardly seems a year since the groundbreaking anthology Hos, Hookers, Call Girls and Rent Boys shocked America by rocketing onto the front page of the Sunday New York Times Book Review. Come hear the shocking, hysterical, sad, crazy, heartbreaking, ballbreaking, mind-blowing stories from America’s shamed and glamorized, ostracized and glorified, reviled and worshiped sex workers. PhDs and high school dropouts, soccer moms and jailbirds, $5000 a night call girls, $10 crack hos and hard-working rent boys, Sex Worker Literati is the living breathing embodiment of this internationally acclaimed anthology in the flesh. David Henry Sterry and Zoe Hansen will be riding herd over an all-star lineup of the finest ho writer/performers money can buy. And it’s all still free!
