So the buzz in kinky land is that Sears has recently come into the fold...
Yes, you heard me right. Sears.
Take a gander at this....
I kid you not! Though the items do seem to be coming and going today a bit on their website....I imagine it's busy Saturday for them as the facebook and twitter lines are aflutter with the news.
I would so love to have been a fly on the wall at the meeting when the decision was made to expand their offerings into fetish wear. Was it a lively and heated debate or were these items slipped in under the radar without the knowledge of the higher-ups? Did they consider the reaction of their customer base? Did they consider the counter effect of an influx from the kink community when they suddenly discovered that Sears is a place to get inexpensive fetish wear?
If they did a survey before making the decision, I would love to see the questions....
If Sears offered leather costume pieces for sale would that change your decision to shop there?
A. No it would not affect my decision to shop at Sears.
B. I'm not sure.
C. Yes, I would no longer shop at Sears.
Fire that marketing firm, seriously.
Actually, I applaud their courageous choice...though I think they have a few things to learn. When you click into the women's outfit above, it lists "Related Products" below...here's what Sears thinks is related to the woman's outfit:
Scarleton Metallic Clutch With Crystals
Jaclyn Smith Women's Abby Tote Bag & Key Chain
Cow Hair Western Rhinestone Ornaments Zebra Print Genuine Leather Belt
Ummm...they need someone in their marketing department who is kinky. Because they missed these obviously related products. I am completely serious here...these are all available at SEARS!!!!!
I have saved the pièce de résistance for , where else?
The end.
I put "Butt Plug" in the search window
just for shits and giggles.
And there you have it!
My world has been turned upside down...Since when did Sears start selling sex toys? And why are they selling the crappy ones?
Oh right...it's Sears!

This is hilarious. Thanks, Ruby.
Thanks, Vickie. I had a lot of fun with this one.
This writing sabbatical is turning out to become much more entertaining than I thought! This post certainly is one of the funniest I’ve come across on your site. I dare say, I see a possible career for Ruby as an investigative sex toy journalist in the future. Sounds like comedy gold right there!
However, the woman looks really hot in her fetish lingerie. The guy looks ridiculous, though.
Thanks, Lars!
The guy? I kinda like it. Those straps would give me such delightful leverage…
