We are happy to be sponsoring the Minneapolis Mayhem Rugby Football Club fundraiser for the second year.  If you’ve been curious about what toys Smitten Kitten carries for men, this would be a great party to check out.  We’ll have a full array of toys for boys, a few give-aways, and we’ll be on hand to answer any sex toy related questions you might have.  Come out and support the Mayhem. March 20th, 8 pm at 213 East 4th Street

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!

Do we put butt plugs or massage candles on this shelf?

Will we also use coyotes in our window displays? Stop by the store to find out.

Victorian Vibes

Dildos have been around since people have been creative and horny, and those crazy Victorians were no exception. They improved on the dildo by adding vibration. The age of steam and electric power ushered in a whole new wave of sex toys, like this steam powered vibrator called the Manipulator, invented in 1869 (AH!)”:
Steam Powered Vibrator

I’m pretty sure that’s not 100% medical grade silicone.

Here’s a small gallery of other strange contraptions, some more terrifying than others. I wonder if in 150 years, people will say–I can’t believe they used those as sex toys! Who knows where the innovative designers of sex toys, like Lelo or Fun Factory, will take us?

Jeff Ilse’s Intimate Portraits

Filed under: News -- Alley @ 6:52 pm

Written by Alley @ 6:52 pm

jeffcitylakes1jeffcitylakes2Jeff stopped by yesterday to hang up some work from his photography sessions with individuals and couples.  Jeff does amazing portraits, and what I love most about them is the feeling of authenticity I get from them.  The photographs are intimate and you get a sense of personality. Instead of creating a mold that his intimate photographs fit into, there is a sense that each individual is represented as who they truly are, whether alone or within a relationship. Stop by the store to check the photos out in person, or look him up online at his website. You can find more information about his intimate portrait sessions here.
