I don’t know about names - but the tagline that came to mind was: _And you thought burping your Tupperware was fun!"_ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Chance the Gardener \* > I guess this is technically a hijack, but… how would this work? No doubt there’s a market; I’m curious how one goes about this sort of… catering. It works quite well. I did this in L.A. for a while. But it wasn’t a home-owned business. I “rented” the kit from a local store. We also got our parties booked through the stores as well. Poysyn: if I might make a suggesstion: Charge a flat rate for bachelorette parties. That’s what we did because a lot of the time they invited us as entertainment rather than for the purpose of buying our product. Also, make sure they schedule the stippers for AFTER your presentation. 😉 As for names, I’m really bad at coming up with stuff like that, but we called our parties: Pleasure Faires (we were Love Consultants). ---

For a while I made penis-shaped soap on a rope thingies. They were awesome. My friend and I were tossing names around, but of course all of them really only pertain to that one aspect of sex toys…Dicks for Chicks, that kind of thing. My personal favorite was Chixie Dix. (You know, like Dixie Chix? Or whatever they’re called… [sub]maybe you hadda be there…[/sub]) ~k ---

Helga’s House of Pain … would just be wrong, right? Look, I’m sure his Holiness Scylla wouldn’t mind - and as fearless leader, I wouldn’t either, so why not call your business: The Happy Fun Squad? \ Happy Fun Squad: Divide and Pleasure. Egads. I’m sick in the head. In fact, I can hear the men in the white suits coming to get me. I’ll be on my way now. Buh-bye. E. ---
