Now At The G-Spot: Sock Monkeys With Benefits

Today as yours truly was coming home from a photo walk I bumped into the proprietor of the G-Spot. Chris had a smile on his face, a glint of mischief in his eyes and was toting a rather large bag. “Smitty Claus” beckoned for me to come over and see what was inside. I did— and much to my delight I discovered a bevy of very naughty monkeys. While the above lass has been claimed by yours truly (for obvious reasons), there are plenty of equally sexy simians from which to choose.  This is local shopping at its very finest folks. Check it out!

Introducing our Third Thursday salon at the G-Spot Pop Shop.

We’ll be showing a great selection of local artists and designers with a lot of affordable cool stuff for $25 or less!
and we’ll be serving up some liquid libations to loosen your libidos (and open your wallets ;>) courtesy of Brouwerij Lane.

And be sure to bring your creativity! we’re gonna cover one of the walls in paper and work on a collaborative mural.

We’re hoping to make this a regular monthly art event in Greenpoint. Let us know if you want to get involved.
The Yes Gallery on India st is also having an opening that night, so be sure to stop by there as well.

While I have been stuck at home the last few days with a cold I forgot— or make that almost forgot— to share the good news about The G Spot: a shop which calls our very own Chris Smith, AKA: subtexture— the guy who designed this fabulous Greenpoint tee shirt, its proprietor! Why not swing by this upcoming Tuesday, say “Hi” and check out his wares?
