Lately I’ve been forcing my coworkers at the Minneapolis store to listen to this song on infinite repeat. Like, I’ll sneak it into every playlist at least twice, if not more. So if you’ve stopped in lately, caught an earful of crazy infectious grooves and wondered what exactly we were all dancing to like idiots, here’s the skinny. It’s local sex machine/pop maestro/boy made very good, Har Mar Superstar. Har Mar (real name Sean Tillman, aka Sean Na Na,) looks like the teddy bear love child of Jonah Hill and BJ Novak, and if you like chubby boys who can dance and sing, he’s pretty much the dreamiest ever.
This single, Tall Boy, dropped a while back, but I’ve become newly obsessed with it since I saw the epic video.
The song was penned for Britney Spears, but her people passed on it so Har Mar recorded it himself. Har Mar’s ladies’ man performance persona puts a super fun queer, gender ambiguous spin on the original lyrics, and when you combine all that subtext with the weirdly, sexily weird imagery in the video, it makes for some fascinating viewing. So check out Har Mar Superstar if you haven’t already, and then stop by the store and come bust some moves with us.
It’s June! Warm, breezy, beautiful, sunny… perfect weather for a leisurely bike ride. If you want to get in the mood to push those pedals, check out this gorgeous website: theFIXFIXFIX (via Violet Blue.) It features generous-to-huge photo galleries of women with their fixed-gear bikes. Not a ton of variation in body type amongst the models, but the site has a particular aesthetic in mind and works it well. If you’re a fan of vintage pin up art and snazzy hipster bikes, be sure to take a peek.
You’ve got to have a-lot of balls to be an artist in this society. For most it means signing up to work hard, often at one job for not that much money and no health care, while your 2nd job, art, is always in the background, demanding attention, getting in the way of your social life, requiring purchasing of expensive supplies. I was on Carnal Nation today and saw their post about “Man with enormous penis asked to leave museum” After investigating David’s work I am both appreciative and irritated by it. Regardless, he definitely has big balls. Check out his videos with these links: Big Dick enters The New Museum from David Livingston on Vimeo.
Ultimately, it’s no blow up doll couch by Midori, but it’s definitely interesting.
You love to make out with your honey? They not really feeling it? No problem anymore with these Veasyble decorative coverings.
Don’t think we’ll be carrying these anytime soon - I just thought they were cool.
Jennifer and I just got back from our first round of store setup in Denver. We did some demolition on the previous store’s fixtures, painted, and put together a hell of a-lot of furniture. We also interviewed for the SE/SA position. We had amazing applicants and it was such an honor to meet and interview all of you who applied. We’re going to have some tough decisions figuring out who to hire.
Anyway, I promised some interested parties that I would post some pictures from our adventures, so here they are! Just wait til’ we get some vibrators on those shelves!
The mountains are so pretty at sunset!
Jennifer is wedged in between some boxes in the back seat.
Do we put butt plugs or massage candles on this shelf?
This shelf was a disaster to put together.
From the back corner of the store.
This chair is comfortable.
Will we also use coyotes in our window displays? Stop by the store to find out.
