Pitchforks and Torches rise up again

MoonHowler

Rewind back to last summer.  The local uproar was over the new kids in town, KK’s Temptations  adult boutique, that was to open in October.  Some of the City folks had a fit because the shop was in Old Town Manassas.  People envisioned hordes of perverts lining up to see the bustiers and nighties.  It didn’t matter that the City also has Fashion Fantasy over on route 28 and at least one adult movie store over near the library, within blocks of Kindercare and Parkside Middle School on Mathis Avenue.  This new store was going to be in Old Town near the Candy Factory.  Each and every person I talked to who was opposed to the opening of KK’s used the location as the main, if not only reason for objection. 

Fast forward back to the present.  In the past couple of weeks, I have heard some mumblings and grumblings over KKs from two friends who I can clearly say are on different ends of this argument.   KK”s had planned to do some events for  Susan G. Komen for the cure to raise money.  Their  first plan had been a wet tee shirt contest.  Elena and I spoke briefly but negatively about this plan and basically backed off.  Because of issues with the City, KK’s plans changed to a bikini contest at Backyard Grill at the corner of Sudley Road and Williamson Blvd.  We didn’t like that idea either because of the objectification of women but kept our mouths shut.  It was Kim’s business.  In other words, do no harm.  We didn’t.Read More

KK’s Temptations Debate Airs on Channel 5

MoonHowler

From Fox Channel 5:

Kim Skokan, co-owner of KK’s Temptations and Steve Thomas, a Manassas resident who opposes the store, joined the FOX 5 News at 10 to debate this sex shop battle.

The debate has been ongoing for about a month.  Tonight one of the leaders against KK Temptations, Manassas City resident Steve Thomas, squared off  against co-owner Kim Skokan.  Evaluate the debate for yourself.  Was there a clear winner or did both ‘sides’ make their point? 

 

As most people know, Moonhowlings has been supportive of KK’s Temptations.   I was glad to see Mr. Thomas narrow his objections to the store to being only against adult  videos rather than trying to condemn the entire shop.  Having a specific objection makes a lot more sense than some of the other people I have talked to and those  I heard making preposterous statements.   Mr. Thomas also resisted calling their store a ‘porn shop.’

However, tomorrow KK”s Temptations opens officially.  Stop by and tell the ladies hello. 

UPDATE:  The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held this morning.  It is my understanding that none of the Manassas Council attended.  Shame on them. 

 

The  Red Hat Society ladies were cute.  Beth Parker sure pointed out the hypocrisy about the Candy Factory.  Kiddie plays and Last of the Red Hot Lovers.  Too funny. 

I am totally sick of hearing the kid card dropped.  What a bunch of bull crap.  It has nothing to do with it.  The woman who spoke up  and said something to the effect that the husbands would all want the wives to do things they didn’t want to do spoke volumes.  That’s what’s behind all of this.  Some of the good women of Manassas don’t want to be asked to ……nahhhh Moon Howler.  Don’t go there.  It was obvious. 

Maybe some of the good women just need to say no if something is suggested in the marital bedroom that they don’t want to do.  Surely these ‘weaker vessels’ have heard of NO and realize that they aren’t owned by their husbands?  Tell me it isn’t this basic.
