Off topic, kinda

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Hey - this kinda is and kinda isn't off-topic. I'm looking for some help. I have a line of vegan lip balm called Pussy Pucker Pots. It's vagina-centric (though it's for your facial libs, not your labia) - with names like Vanilla Vulva, Lemon Labia, Clitoris Citrus, etc... I started the line based sort of on the same principles as the Vagina Monologues, to get women talking about their sexuality without shame. At any rate, I'm wondering if any of you out there know of any feminist bookstores or other kitschy shops out there in your local area that might consider carrying the line of balm? It's very pro - slick tins, glossy labels, each tin is sealed and it's all hand made by me. I'm just trying to get them out there, but it's hard to find the small feminist stores who either don't have websites or don't have an advertising budget. It's really helped out our local store - they sell like hotcakes, which helps bring in more $$ for their operating costs. Anyway - thanks in advance! If you have names and addresses of stores, please send them to info@pussypuckerpots.com - or just leave them here. Thanks!

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

[gallega.livejournal.com]

someonce once told me about the store...always wanted to check it out, but i havent really gotten a chance to...im assuming you've been there...should i make a trek out there tomorrow...i need something to read and do

[lesbianic.livejournal.com]

yes, you definitely should, if you're interested in feminist/ and/or glbt books and a really cool place to browse/buy them.

[stellalunatic.livejournal.com]

Try this place. It is a feminist book store, but they also have little trinkets and whatnot. I think this would be a really neato addition to their stock, if they don't already carry it.

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'll look them up. Thank you!

[efface.livejournal.com]

hey, i'm in cleveland and we have this one artsy-hip street called coventry with tons of stores that would probably be interested. one store, called "high tide, rock bottom" carries things along that line. i could check out some of the stores that i think might carry it and get their exact addresses and phone numbers for you. i'd love it if i could buy that stuff here without having to order it online. and i've sent it to other people as presents and they all love it so much. fabulous product, darling!

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Hey - that'd be fantastic. If you could just get me their names I can find their addresses. :) Thank you!!!

[efface.livejournal.com]

ok. there's the one i already mentioned-- "high tide, rock bottom".
also check out,
.record revolution
.sunshine
.green tomato

these are all located on coventry road in cleveland heights, ohio. let me know if you need any more info! :)

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. Thanks! I got their addresses off the coventry village website. (looks like a cool place, btw!)

Re: detroit suburbs...

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Great! You're the 3rd person to recommend that store, so I definitely need to check it out!! If 3 people think they will carry it, they probably will! ;)

[sooz.livejournal.com]

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Where is Mother's Market?

[sooz.livejournal.com]

there's a few of them in southern california.. wait ill find the link here you go (http://www.mothersmarket.com/)

also what about normal sex stores like spankys (http://www.spankysxxx.com/new.htm) which is popular

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. I'll check them both out!!

I've been having trouble getting attention from the chain stores. Buyers are probably really busy. I've not given up hope yet, though!

Try that place, I've never been but a friend of mine pointed me to the site.

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, thanks!! I just got rainbowstore.com.au to purchase, so I have hope for other aussies! ;)

[schnoogle.livejournal.com]

Excellent :) I'll try and find some other shops that might be interested that I can actually get to.

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

ehehe if you don't find any, let me know at info@pussypuckerpots.com - if you have paypal, I can sell one to you and ship it myself. I just don't like to do it that often 'cuz it's a pain in the arse to do the one at a time orders. I'd be packing and labeling all day! But I can make exceptions, especially for people outside the states, cuz it's hard to get it.

[schnoogle.livejournal.com]

^_^ Excellent!

[kundrie.livejournal.com]

I would love to see them at my favorite sex shop, Grand Opening (http://www.grandopening.com) in Brookline MA. I hope they'll be interested!

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

They bought last week! They should be carrying them soon!

[ladyandthetramp.livejournal.com]

i was going to suggest Gran Opening too!!

woohoo i'm definitely buying when they start carrying it.
great idea, btw. :)

[obfuscate.livejournal.com]

Very neat idea.

Coffeehouse & Deli

This isn't exactly a store, but it's a very veggie coffeehouse, and they sell lots of cool stuff up front, and I think I recall seeing non-food stuff in there.

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

Cool! Just the kinda place I'm looking for! I'll call. Thank you!
