Surreal, Sexy, Or Scary?
I don’t do very many pure “go buy some shit” blog posts, because it’s very easy for sex blogs to go overboard that way, until they start to read like somebody’s sex toy sales catalog. In fact, I avoid this more than I should; I have an embarrassing backlog of stuff that gets sent to me for review, some of it quite nice, that I really ought to blog about. Maybe that will be my New Year’s resolution, this year.
Anyway, last night I went surfing to The Stockroom to see what was new in sex toys, and what I discovered was that their annual Halloween sale this year has some astonishing bargains. In addition to putting some of their excellent costumes and masks on sale, they’ve got some deep price cuts on selected BDSM hoods, some of which would also make a great impression as costumery.
What caught my eyes in particular were their expensive, spectacular, and surreal leather bunny hoods, in black and white, both of which are marked down more than $100 from their normal retail prices:
(The carrot dildo is not included, but it is also on sale.)
Continuing in the animal vein, this scary-but-very-handsome zippered dog-face hood is also more than $100 off:
If you want to be more conventionally sexy/slutty, of course they also have the usual run of sexy costumes, many of which are on sale; there are the sexy nurses and nuns and schoolgirls and French maids we have learned to expect and enjoy this time of year, sometimes with a pleathery twist to let you show off your “kinky vegan” side:
We talked last year about some of the implications of life in “Strip Nation”, the land where Halloween has happily morphed into “Dress Like A Slut” Day, and I’m not blind to the concerns of the folks who aren’t entirely happy with it. Not blind, no, but I remain fundamentally unconcerned; as I wrote then, I see this phenomenon as a healthy Halloween manifestation of the ghosts of Saturnalia and Carnival, occasions of celebratory revelry that were (in the Puritan Protestancies) mostly suppressed centuries ago. It’s a liberating holiday, to be celebrated as vigorously as possible by all friends of pleasure.

As costumes, the rabbit hoods are great. I’m not sure about using them for play. The dog-face hood, however, is incredibly hot.
Very skilled design of the dog’s head mask, while I’m not a huge fan of BDSM that requires elaborate setup, I can appreciate a well-crafted item. *longs for a green mask he lost years ago*
Is it just me, or does that model have a distinct Rebecca Romjin vibe to her? Should Jerry “Sliders” O’Connell be getting worried here (or maybe excited!)? :)
Where can one find the nurse costume? Thanks for your time and assistance!
David, just click the picture, it takes you right to the ordering page for the costume.
The leather french maid is hot! Of course, it could be the combination of the blond and the outfit. Damn!
yes,yes,yes
