Who doesn't love to shop? Shopping eases the pain, numbs the aches of the hard work day and flushes all of those troublesome worries away. Except when everything is marked up 110% for a holiday such as February 14th. We all give in the to Gods of Hallmark and make those little (or grand, if you can so afford) gestures of love and like. Do so with style, and do it local.
I've listed a few of my very favorite LUV Holiday choices. Forgo the $100 boo-kay of red red roses and just buy her a pair of undies.
Sean Henninger's Atomic Chocolate available at Times Square Bistro & Pizzeria in Walker’s Point (605 S. First St., 224-6300). You can find him pairing his finely crafted chocolates with wines of all kinds at Grapes and Grain in Mequon. Such delicious wares should be savored, so buy a couple boxes. Curry...red pepper...mango.
Tool Shed, 804 E. Center, 414.562.9338. www.toolshedtoys.com "Milwaukee's first lady-owned sex toy store" has everything from the cute and cuddly to the..."um, what's that for?"
Girlie Pants online store: http://www.girliepants.com/ "Clean undies for dirty girls". Not local, but plenty sweet. All artist designed wear by a former Milwaukeean.
If you HAVE to do flowers, do them good. Fresh Design, modern flowers. Sue Shunta proprietor, 414 467 4310 contact@freshdesignflowers.com. Amazing website with photos so good I could eat them. The personal service is really where this online shop shines. Give her a call, she can help with your carnation vs daisy dilemma. www.freshdesignflowers.com/portfolio.html
Although they may not be dishing the feminist dirt currently, there are still tee-shirts to be had from Ladylike Wonderwear. Get 'em while you can, these fem tees are a soon to be a collectors item. www.citymoonstudios.com/ladylike/html/about.html
and please, if you'd like to share your bright ideas, drop me a line, I'll forward your post.
Enjoy the piercing of cupids arrows, or perhaps just curl up with a bottle of Rielsing, who needs men?
love-
Betty
