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. Don’t
miss:
Dust $17.25
This sweet honey-
flavored powder
comes with a gorgeous
feather-dusting brush.
For a perfect gift for
weekends away, check
out Kama Sutra
Weekender packs full
of sensual treats fit for
a Mughal.

|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. JH
