lol -- well, locally, it is a retail outlet that sells "Adult Entertainment Paraphernailia". Basically, all they sell is stuff that is related directly to sex: enticing it, having it, and, um, making it more creative. They sell lingerie, sexual aides, peculiar lotions, videos and dvds, and stuff that is rather commonly found here in the marketplace. Rather than being a typical "adult bookstore", however, they have tried to classy the place up -- clean, shopper friendly places not unlike any decent smaller retail store (say, Kohl's, Mervyn's, or The Gap) and try to do things tastefully. Their radio and televsion ads are predicated primarily around innuendo, and can be quite amusing. They do not, however, claim artistry in their wares, and when you go there, there is only one reason for it. It's not a place many people frequent or discuss openly, despite doing fairly well (although they did recently have some issues with the owner forgetting to do silly things like pay taxes, and some employee misappropriation of funds, and this odd quirk of being late on their business loans used to expand the chain). There's actually some Poser-created stuff on sale there, as well, lol.
