Last week we had the opportunity to attend our first industry trade show, STIMULATE. We were invited to attend and, after snagging a couple budget airline tickets and securing a friendly couch to crash on (thanks Naomi!!), we found ourselves in Nashv
Hi hello! Artemis and g here with some BIG Toolbox news: we are VERY CLOSE to securing a longterm home for our p3rverted wares in Ridgewood - it’s still early days, babes, but it’s looking good! To pull this off we need your help so we ca
THATS A WRAP! While vending at one of our first ever events, I think maybe bodyhack, our very sweet friend July approached us with an offer we couldn’t refuse. A studio space on the historical Christopher St in the West Village to use as we ne
What a pride month! G ran into a friend at the start of last month and they mentioned that June has really become “queer labor month” and they couldn’t have been more right. For us, it was all a labor of love: we took on more events
