Naughty Crafts on V-day

Want something kinky, different or erotic from art? How ‘bout edible liquorice panties, knitted balloon bras, purses fashioned to resemble lovely lady anatomy or Karma sutra buttons that will education curious onlookers on your morning commute? Well you are in luck.
Come as you are, an accessible, inclusive, co-op sex store in Toronto is holding the Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair on Valentines Day at the Gladstone Hotel. It’s been going on since 2007, and it is Canada’s first and only crafts fair promoting DIY sensual expression, which makes me pretty proud and pleased to be living in Toronto.

You can head down to 1214 Queen St. West between noon and 8 p.m. to pick up some hot, affordable crafts that might titillate you or tickle the fancy of someone dear to you. I love when people get creative and unleash the sexual side of art, whether its lingerie, sculpture, photography, baked goods, clothing or accessories. Here is a video from the first annual fair.
It goes to show that art needn’t always be serious. It can by campy, flirty or just plain hilarious. I might have to consider selling some of my dirty cookies next time….. But I doubt I can compete with an erotic baking business like Frostitution. Their vagina cakes and sugar tits look delicious. Babble, an adorable button company behind the instructional Karma sutra designs also branches out into scrabble-esque pieces spelling kinky words, pierced nipples buttons, and emergency condoms to pin where you’ll need ‘em.

So take a gander, there might just be something to suit your tastes. Because V-day doesn’t have to be about satisfying your lover, it should also be about satisfying yourself.
