Reviews from the road: Vavavooom in Asheville, NC

As you all know I’m on a road trip through the South these few weeks. Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions about places to visit–I’m psyched to check them out. To share things will all of you from my trip I’m going to do some reviews from the road. Mostly sex shops (to continue on with the previous series) but also other cool places I discover along the way.

Our first stop was Asheville, North Carolina. We wandered into Vavavooom, a woman-owned lingerie and sex toy shop. The large window display on a main downtown Asheville street lured me in and the shop did not disappoint. As Lisa Ziemer, co-owner of the store admits, “it’s ...

Feminist Sex Shop Review: Sugar

So, you all know about my penchant for feminist sex shops. I’ve already written about my love for Babeland and Smitten Kitten, and you all shared your favorite stores around the country.
I’m so into these places that I’ve decided to try and visit as many of them as I can (anyone want to help me finance this?) and then review the stores for all of you. Call it a Feminist Sex Shop review if you will.

This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Baltimore’s only feminist sex shop, Sugar. If their mission doesn’t make you want to shop there, maybe this review will. Living in Washington DC (as I do) this is the ...

Round up ‘round here

Ladies across the country (and Brazil!) are bringing some heat to their guitars, drums, microphones and the like at Rock n’ roll camp. I was able to see S-K perform a benefit show during the second year of the Portland camp, and though they won’t be making a repeat appearance (single tear), lots of other talented women are helping to make the rock happen. Join up!
Portland, Oregon’s Girls Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls
New York City’s Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls Co-founded by Real Hot 100 winner Ingrid Hu Dahl
Girls Rock! Chicago
Or you could just go to this and support ...

Cultural Quickie: The Go-Go’s, Savage Love, Hunger, Hyphen and Coming Up

I didn’t forget about reviews for Peaches and Strangers with Candy…they’ll be here soon. In fact, I missed my chance to see Peaches strip down to her pink skivvies this weekend, but did see the 80s giant The Go-Go’s.

The ladies have been doing this and that and are touring. See tour dates here. Also, the women have inspired some guys to make a cover band called “We Got the Meat.� Who says only guy bands get the cover treatment?
Speaking of dudes who don’t suck, I heart Dan Savage of Savage Love.

This guy has a way of answering the bonkiest sex questions that is humorous yet factual and helpful. He ...
