Venus Envy (sex Shop)
Venus Envy is a Canadian sex shop and independent book store with a web site and two retail stores (in Ottawa, Ontario and Halifax, Nova Scotia). Conceived along the lines of such pioneering sex businesses as Babeland and Good Vibrations, Venus Envy was the second Canadian business to offer woman-friendly surroundings and service distinct from traditional sex stores (other, similar stores include Womyns'Ware in Vancouver, which opened in 1995, and Come As You Are, which opened in 1997, and Good For Her in Toronto).
The company's slogan is "a store for women and the people who love them."
Famous quotes containing the words venus and/or envy:
“Yet have I fierce affections, and think
What Venus did with Mars.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Take two kids in competition for their parents’ love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and it’s not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
