Ay! It's June already!! When did THAT happen?! Next month will be our 2 year anniversary and we are so excited to still be here - meeting all of your sexy shopping needs! Our anniversary party is still in the works and we will send word out as soon as we know more, but in the mean time - reserve the last weekend in July for a super fun par-tay with your favorite porn shack! That same weekend will also be host to dyke march and festival, in case you needed more incentive to stick around... Let's see, what are some fun, new developments... Oh! We won a Nicky Award for "Best Art Gallery"! Woo hoo! Unfortunately, Lea was out of town and missed the awards ceremony, and I was cocky enough to think that I would have another chance to rock the mic (we were nominated for a total of 4) that I skipped my one (and only) chance to say my many thanks.
So we thought that we would take this opportunity to do just that.
The awards ceremony would have looked something like this:
With Carly attempting to say something deep and meaningful, only to breakdown into a sobbing mess. At which point Lea would pick up the mic and launch into a long drawn out speech that neither one of us would remember in the end... but somewhere in there we would manage to thank the many business owners that have shared with us their advice, experience and wisdom gained in having "been there" too. Kate Ross, Chris Shaw of Baja Betty's, Paul Sommerset of Ono Sushi, Metis Black of Tantus Silicone Inc. and Marta Luisa of Casa del Libro, to name just a few. The multitude of volunteers, friends and family that have pitched in to help where they can and have loved us from the very beginning. And to our beeeeautiful customers - because this little porn shack has flourished almost exclusively through repeat business and word of mouth.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...
