- Welcome to Leah, our new assistant manager! She seems to be off to a great start. obviously, no one can replace Chantel, but we're sure Leah will bring her own charm and skill to the post.
- We have a fantastic new dancer pole display and a new window display! Although we completely understand the temptation, please refrain from in-store dance demonstrations.
- We've rearranged our lingerie and DVDs! We're expecting this will make it easier for you to find exactly what you're looking for quickly & efficiently. Remember: if there's anything you can't find in store, our staff is happy to help. We're always looking for ways to improve, so if there's something we don't carry even though we really should, let us know :)

Feature Friday: Glass Toys
I have a new-found weakness for glass products. Thanks to "Joy" of the Reflections collection by Doc Johnson and "The Thorn" by GlassTIX, I can now share this love of mine with you, oh faceless masses of yon internet.
Here are some of the things I love about glass toys:
In store you'll notice our signs advertising the fact that glass toys can be heated or cooled. For one, this means they will warm to body temperature efficiently making them all the more comfortable to use. Secondly, you can actually heat and cool glass toys to easily incorporate sensation play into your fun. Luckily for you (well, and for me), I've been doing some research and found a great walk through on how to heat and cool your glass toys. Glass Fantasy has the following FAQ page to introduce you to the wonders of glass:
http://www.glassfantasy.com/faq.php
I did not know that glass toys tend to be made of the same glass as Pyrex, or that some can even be cleaned in an autoclave if you're so inclined. Neat, huh?
Fore more on Doc Johnson products, check out their website: http://www.docjohnson.com/
Next week: more pictures, ideally not ones taken last minute with my sheets as a background.
I'll either be featuring Pirates themed sex toys, Glo Glo a Go Go, or... something I haven't thought of yet. Do you have a preference? If there's something you want to see more of, leave a comment on the blog or e-mail me at kiki.of.pnt@gmail.com
- they're super pretty
- they're easy to clean
- they carry vibrations well
- they can last forever
- they're firm
- they're slick
- did I mention they're pretty?
- they're inexpensive without being cheap

Why Rent Porn?
In these modern times, some may find it an anachronism to rent porn when there's so much available online. Here are the advantages we find to renting at porn which keep us competetive:
YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING
Our store's collection of porn is sorted by genre, and each title has a cover detailing the contents of its disc. There's no worry that a video has been mislabeled or is of poor quality. No mess, no fuss.
YOU DON'T USE UP BANDWIDTH
Internet is expensive, and many of us feel the pressure to limit our usage or worry about slow transfer rates. To make matters worse, downloads and streaming often prove unreliable. Rentals don't have any of those problems. With many of our rentals costing only $1 for 2 days, and everyday deals getting you even more value, it's easy to keep track of your budget.
YOU GET ACCESS TO BIG BUDGET PRODUCTIONS
Many porn companies are willing to invest the time and energy to protect their copyrighted material. This makes it next to impossible to find big productions online. If you want Jenna Haze, Bree Olson, or anything from Girlfriends Films, our store is the place to go.
AS EASY TO PLAY ON A PC AS ON A TV
Wherever you want to enjoy your porn, you can. This is particularly useful if you want to see every angle play out on your big screen, or if you're watching with friends (parody porn nights are a great social event).
That's why we still rent porn, and that's why our regulars keep coming back. Don't beleive us? test our logic out yourself: stop in, set up an account, and see if rentals work better for you.
JUST THE TIP: Want to dress sexy on a budget? Try making an outfit out of seran wrap, or wear nothing but a few pieces of your lover's favourite candy strategically placed on spots where you like to be licked.

A Little Local Lovin'
Rideau St is a strange and wonderful place, full of strange and wonderful people One of the many things Rideau has to offer is a Canada Computers retail store. I am far from computer savvy, but I can spot good service, and my better informed friends assure me their prices are equally impressive.
Recently, I had been slowly mulling over and dreading the cost of fixing my desktop. The staff at Canada Computers offered me a lot of free advice, gave me suggestions that saved me money (partially by preventing me from spending money on their diagnostics services), and even encouraged me to buy parts, test out if they fixed the problem, and return them if they didn't. Basically, I was really impressed, and wanted to give them a shout out for being awesome. It helps a lot that the manager has the sort of terrible sense of humour that I so readily enjoy.
Besides, I figure Canada Computers and Pleasures N' Treasures have a lot in common. After all, the prevalence of the personal computer makes it easy to watch porn privately. Especially speaking as a person with a roommate, I am quite pleased to have my desktop up and running again.

Store News
It has been about 2 weeks since the website was revamped, and what a two weeks it has been!
- Chantel - the badass lady in the bandanna we all know and love - has been promoted! She is now the manager at our Merivale location. Congratulations Chantel! We wish you well in your new post and are jealous that the Merivale employees get you instead of us.
- We have a twitter account ( https://twitter.com/PNTRideau). Follow us for news, deals, and inane commentary.
- Our stock and advice pages are slowly but surely shaping up. Remember: these stock pages are only meant to give you an idea of what's in store. We have a lot more stock, and get new shipments in regularly.
- We have some neat new stock: ben wa balls ("Pleasure Pearls", $24.95), douche kits starting at $10.95, and a new clit stim cream about which we've already heard great things ("On" 5ml, menthol free, $29.95).
- Our overzealous bloggirl is off to a good start on theme days, and has two more porn reviews already cued up and ready to go.
JUST THE TIP: Do you like porn? Sex toys and lube? How about product knowledge, personable employees, and customer service? We'll let you in on a trade secret: Pleasures N' Treasures is hiring at both of our Ottawa locations. If interested, please stop by the location you'd like to work at (491 Rideau Street / 866 Merivale Rd) to introduce yourself and submit a resume.
Feature Friday: BodiSpa
We just got in a shipment of shiny new toys from BodiSpa (http://www.bodi-spa.com/).
The Octopus (features infrared massage tips) $29.99
The Almighty Hot-Cold Massager $169.99
The Mystic Hand $19.99
So far, my favourite things about these toys are:
- they are brand name yet competitively priced
- the batteries are easy to put in & take out
- they're super cute; some have rhinestones, some have floral patterns, and some are in nifty shapes (like the octopus)
- they have great features
- you can customize the angle of the head on many of the wand style massagers
- the Almighty has heating and cooling functions
- the Double Ring Vibe is a vibrating jelly cockring with rings for both the shaft and balls
- the Magic Bullet is wireless
- a bunch of them are rechargeable or plug into the wall
If you've been looking for a gift for your partner, a bachelorette party, or something to treat yourself, these toys are a great choice. They're fun, functional, and the designs add that extra nice touch. Heck, a lot of these massagers seem best suited to, well, massage, so pick one up for a relative or co-worker.

Spotlight: Jessie Andrews
I've been e-creeping the adorable and fantastic Jessie Andrews (Portrait of a Callgirl, Scream XXX: A Porn Parody). Consequently, I wanted to share some of what I've found and generally give her personal projects some love. Her tumblr, for example, seems to be equal parts baked goods, "Laundry Pods", and iPhone self-shots.

IN-STORE SPECIALS
In case sex toys, porn, and our staff's charming personalities weren't enough to get you in store, these deals may yet convince you.
1/2 OFF CHOCOLATE & CANDY
I tried to think of something clever to say here, but then I remembered: candy needs no gimmick. 'Cause, c'mon, it's candy. In this case, it's even penis-shaped and amusingly titled candy, such as "After Sex mints". Easily located in store by the front counter.
'UNDERGROUND PRODUCTS' T-SHIRTS : $5.99
If you absolutely must put a shirt on, it may as well be one from Underground Products. Their designs range from decorative patterns, to zombies, to spunky tattooed pin-ups. I'm planning on getting one with little cherry pentacles all over it.
COTTON BRAS : TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
These bras come in a variety of colours, and some even have rhinestones on them. They all have adjustable straps and metal clasps. We seem to mostly have B cups in stock, so if that's your size, come stock up. Seriously. Do it. Now.
Basic bras priced at $7.99 each, or 2 for $7.99. Rhinestone decorated bras are $9.99 each, or two for $9.99. Cannot mix and match on this deal. If and only if there is not a second bra in your size, price of the individual bra will be reduced to 1/2 of the advertised price.
JUST THE TIP: A lot of women wear the wrong bra size. Make sure to take your time, try bras on, and ask for help from employees, friends, or someone else you trust. Try to find a bra that fits properly while done up to the second snap; this allows you to tighten the band later once the fabric has stretched. When trying on a bra, the band should sit level across your back and your breasts should sit comfortably and completely in the cups.
