“Holiday Where to shop Gift Guide I t ’ s M y P leasure 3106 N .E . 64th Ave. 503-280-8080 r he old adage says it’s better to give than to receive. But if you’re lucky enough to be the recipient of a fun, sexy gift from It’s My Pleasure, the converse might be true. Whether you’re looking for the perfect flogger for that special someone, or a home made bergamot candle for Aunt Gladys, this Northeast gem just off Sandy Boulevard has all its bases covered. So to speak. Owner Holly Mulcahey opened the shop 11 years ago after realizing the need for a respectful woman-centered space to shop for sex toys and other intimate items. It’s My Pleasure has grown to provide books, locally crafted candles, fine art prints, oils, lotions and other erotic niceties as well as a commu nity bulletin board and a regular “Sex Toys 101” class. This holiday season, check out It’s My Pleasure for sex-positive gifts to excite and Kama Sutra Honey empower.

Holly Mulcahey has plenty to show you at IPs My Pleasure Our cover boys f fi |hen we decided to do the “on 1 / S a n t a ’s knee” bit for our Gift l / l / Guide, we didn’t have to r v think long about who to ask to strike the pose. Art Wheeler was the subject of a Just Out profile last year as the only gay Santa we know, and Aaron Homstein did a fine job as our World Series 2002 cover boy in August. Who else could we turn to? Little did we know what a naught boy Aaron could be. “1 opened all the big packages first,” he sheepishly admits and ended up needing a good old-fashioned spanking. A s for what’s really on the North Port land resident’s wish list: a new car, sus penders, a trip to Paris and cha-cha heels. Also, “a full-length mirror,” he smiles, because “you can never have too many.” Aaron will be spending Christmas with his family, but they’ve already celebrated Hanukkah together. “Santa was spanking a Jew!” he exclaims. “But we celebrate Christmas. We’re equal opportunity Jews.” As for Art, he’s available for your home or office party and promises he’ll only spank if you want him to. Reach him at 503-281-2764 or artaclaus@yahoo.com.
