    Hi,

  • Use My Gallery for Biznik Events

    I would be willing to let people use my gallery for events. I also have an upstairs that I intend to turn in to a classroom, this may be my inspiration and motivation to get on it.

    I just got a white board and I have seating for up to 40 people in the downstairs and 10-15 upstairs.

  • I have been OUTRAGEOUS!!! -will be on KING 5 today

    I have shamelessly self promoted. I have done something outrageous! I will tell you about what I did and I would love to hear what other bizniks have done crazy acts in the name of business.

    The city of Seattle has been tearing up the road in front of my place for two months. It has hurt my business.

    So I think they are all done, every thing is cleaned up, and tonight I show up at the gallery and have an event planned and there is HUMONGOUS equipment, steam rollers and some other biig contraptions parked in front of my gallery.

    All up and down the street are closed businesses that they could have parked in front of but NOOOOOO, they have to park in front of the only business that actually makes money on their store front.

    So, I decided to take action, I turned the steam rollers in to floats. Pink and orange tropical theme, streamers, wind chimes, and a great big sign that says Raven's Gallery Erotic's Beautification Project.

    KIRO Radio has something about it and KING 5 and N.W. Cable News will have something on it.

    So if you have a chance drive by 408 Dexter Avenue and check out my handiwork. An artist friend of mine even made a chalk mural on the actual roller on one of the steam rollers.

    We had so much fun I cannot even tell you!!!

    If any other members out there are up for spontaneous craziness let me know.

    P.S. I was very careful to not damage anything, and to be very mindful of where I placed things so they did not accidentally fall in to machinery etc...

    I am hoping that the workers will get a good kick out of it. Maybe even keep the steam rollers decorated while they work.

  • *****Dating With Intention***** Wed. July 11th

    Dating With Intention Wednesday July 11th

    Most of us date hoping to “build” a relationship. To build something of quality that will stand the test of time requires first a vision, a plan of action, quality materials, and then an investment of our time and energy.

    Many people date on accident for others dating may seem like a hit or miss numbers game. What would it be like to be in total control of your dating life? Do any of these sound familiar? “I can’t believe all the time I wasted my time with that jerk” “If I would have known I would have never gotten involved” “All of my relationships start out different but end up the same way” If they do you will get great benefit form this course.

    How do you know if the person you are dating is worth your time before you are in too deep? How can you tell if your date is presenting who they really are, or showing you a facade to get you hooked? In this workshop you will learn: How to date with intention. How to know if you should invest before you are in to deep. How to ask questions that will reveal your dates true self while at the same time be building intimacy.

    Wouldn’t it be nice to never again feel like you have wasted your valuable time dating someone who turns out to be soooooo wrong for you?

    When: Wednesday July 11th Time: 7:o0p.m. -9:00 p.m. Where: Raven's Gallery Erotic 408 Dexter Avenue North Seattle Washington 98109 Cost: $40 per person or $60 for two people

I am passionate about informing the public about the possible health hazards of using erotic products that contain known carcinogens. Please take an hour and come to this free seminar and learn how to distinguish between healthy and toxic products.

    What You Need to Know About UNSAFE SEX PRODUCTS Many people enjoy sex toys as an enhancement to their love making or self pleasuring.

    A toxic sex toy can; Block the bodies estrogen uptake. Contribute to Testicular Cancer. Cause UTI's and yeast infections. Cause sperm abnormalities.

    Excerpt from CBC Health on Sex Toys "We were really shocked. I have been doing this analysis of consumer goods for more than ten years and I've never seen such high results," Ulrich Krieg told Marketplace. Ten dangerous chemicals gassed out of the sex toys. The most serious — phthalates — were found in concentrations of up to 243,000 parts per million. In Canada, the tolerable maximum daily exposure is 1,000 - 3,000 ppm.

  • Need Advice, urgent

    Hi Everyone, I need some advice quick.

    Here is the problem.

    This coming Wednesday the Seattle Weekly is going to have a BIG article about toxic sex toys that features me. This is the best marketing opportunity I have had since opening my biz.

    However the article will not have my address, phone or web address.

    Today I discovered that we have no phone listing with directory assistance and this will be one of the primary ways that people will be able to locate my gallery. It is uncertain if the listing will be available by the time paper comes out.

    Any advice on what I can do to help people find me?

    The one bright spot here is thanks to my biznik profile I actually appear in Google searches for Raven's Gallery Erotic.

    I LOVE Biznik!

    Thanking you all in advance for your help.

    Respectfully, Raven
