Brand Spotlight: Booty Parlor

Step into the parlor and discover this sexy line of products designed to make your romps in the bedroom—or any room—more fun.

Where it came from: Dana B. Myers, a former music industry exec, and her husband, Charlie, came up with the concept for Booty Parlor four years ago and believed in it so much, they quit their jobs to make it a reality. Their goal was to create a fun, fresh line of sexy products that both women and men would feel comfortable shopping for. Myers says, “Booty Parlor is completely opposite from a sex store. If the product makes the woman go, ‘Eww,’ we don’t carry it or create it.” In addition to online sales, they’ve forged partnerships with Victoria’s Secret and hip hotels like the Hard Rock and the Mondrian, where amorous couples can have Booty Parlor treats delivered to their room. And following the Tupperware model, enterprising “Booticians” can host Booty Parlor parties for a commission and discounted product.

What it’s all about: Myers wanted to make shopping for “bedroom accessories” fun, not intimidating, and offer them in a non-sleazy setting more like a cosmetics counter than a triple-X shop. Her brand is all about sexy products that boost a woman’s self-confidence and inspire her to create sexy experiences, both inside and outside the bedroom. From chocolate body “paint” to pheromone-infused firming creams to delicious body toppings, all of Booty Parlor’s products are sexy yet playful and dressed in designer packaging that’s made them an instant hit with celebrities. It didn’t hurt that Dana’s previous career in the music biz made it easier for her to network with the stars. Among Booty Parlor’s devotees are Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Denise Richards, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Alba, Tori Spelling, and Eva Longoria Parker. And boys like it too: Tommy Lee, Wilmer Valderrama, and Lance Bass have all been spotted buying Booty Parlor goodies.

Why we love it: As Booty Parlor’s site proclaims, it’s “where sexy meets fabulous.” And fabulous it is indeed! Everything smells—and, in some cases, tastes—delicious without being overwhelming, shimmers without being shiny, and has such cute packaging that you can’t help but love it. Even Booty Parlor’s Add Magic personal lubricant could easily pass for perfume. Its bottle looks so lovely that you’ll never need to hide it! Booty Parlor’s entire product line is designed to engage the senses and help women connect with their partners and themselves, be it with ouchless bonding tape or kissable body shimmer. Fun, no? We’re definitely in love. Or is that lust?

Our 5 Faves
There are all kinds of goodies in the Booty Parlor line, but we selected five treats you definitely want to try.

Flirty Little Secret
Booty Parlor’s top-selling line, Flirty Little Secret is a trio of pheromone-infused creams with luscious scents and a subtle shimmer. The original firming crème features a peach-mango scent that’s as intoxicating as the pheromones. Give your skin a gorgeous glow with the jasmine-tea–scented bronzer, or soften it with the luscious body butter that hits all the right blackberry, honey, and vanilla notes.

Skin Honey
Aw, sugar, sugar. You’ll have your sweetie calling “honey, honey” when you break out this delight. Sugar-free and water-based so they don’t stick in a bad way, Booty Parlor’s Skin Honeys come in three tantalizing flavors that just beg to be licked off the skin. They’re made with honey extracts to help skin hydration, goji berries with antioxidants, and ginseng for mental and “physical” stimulation. Tasty is only the beginning.

Dust Up Kissable Body Shimmer
One of the key elements of sex appeal is a healthy, irresistibly alluring glow, and that’s what these body shimmers are all about. What’s more, the three shades—Cruisin’ for a Bronzin’, Don’t Call Me Honey, and Punch Drunk Pink—are matched with yummy corresponding flavors—cinnamon, honey, and cotton candy—that are as tantalizing to the taste buds as their shimmer is to the eye.

Kissaholic Kissing Kit
It’s quite all right if you’ve got a kissing addiction, so long as you have this kit handy. Not only does it have a luscious lip gloss that plumps your pout with ginger root oil and chili fruit extract, but it also contains a cinnamon-and-mint-flavored breath spray so you don’t scare your object of amour away.

Melt Body Chocolate Fondue
Yeah, your desired one will melt when you start to “paint” him or her with this chocolate indulgence...then undo all your work with your tongue. Of course, you can also start the night off with Melt drizzled on ice cream or strawberries too. No guilty pleasure, it’s also virtually fat-free and low in calories, so go wild!
