3 Martense St: Flatbush's First Adult Boutique Shop?

3 Martense S

As I headed towards Flatbush Avenue on the north side of Martense Street shortly after my walk-through of the renovation of the Church Avenue streetscape, a smirk crept across my lips when I saw the "What A Gurl Wants Adult Boutique Shop".

The store's awning displayed its name in pink with the tagline, "It's Ok to have an O" and its phone number. Also listed are the products sold including "adult toys & novelties, romance enhancers, adult costumes, and sexy lingerie." The curvaceous silhouette of a model completed the store's brand.

The store window displayed a pink curtain and "hearts" decorating the window; each heart had a word associated with human intimacy- "love," "kiss," "sexy."

Finally, the entrance contained both an invitation and a warning; "Happy Valentine's Day" inscribed in a red heart  and a warning that patrons under 18 can not enter the store.

I didn't get the opportunity to enter the store but I am curious to know who the owner, how long it has been in operation, and how successful it is.

To be continued...
