LOVE OR BUST

What goes best with a cute little Rabbit
vibrator? You and a glass of wine, of course! Tonight, Babeland, one of the most popular shops in town for sex accessories, celebrates BUST magazine’s Love issue at its annual Sexy Valentine’s Party. Guests are
invited to sip complimentary cocktails (from Tito’s Handmade Vodka) and make sexy DIY goodies like pasties; the first 50 attendees get gift bags filled with the latest issue of BUST and toys (wink, wink).
