SAN FRANCISCO—Adult retailers Good Vibrations turned 40 in March and will celebrate the milestone all year long, starting with the Bling My Vibe! contest.
Bling My Vibe! invites sex and art celebrities as well as members of the public to make an art piece using a Smoothie vibrator. Once the artist has their vibe, they can paint it, decoupage it, bejewel it, sew it an outfit, or otherwise get creative.
For those crafters looking for a little encouragement and inspiration, Good Vibrations Polk Street store hosts a special Bling My Vibe! workshop on Sunday, April 30 for those who want to make their arty vibrator creations together. They’ll have vibrators ready to bling, plus hot glue guns and lots of bling to put onto them. Participants can bring their own supplies too.
Hosted by Staff Sexologist Dr. Carol Queen with burlesque blinger extraordinaire Dottie Lux of Red Hots Burlesque (who frequently teaches her School of Shimmy classes at Good Vibrations), all participants over 18 years of age are welcome.
The Bling My Vibe! Workshop & Crafting Session is set for 4-6 p.m. Sunday, April 30, at Good Vibrations Polk Store, 1620 Polk St., San Francisco, CA 94109. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. The fee covers the cost of vibe and materials.
