Dressed to thrill
Chicago-based online retailer Dykes in the City will have you looking your femme finest or your butchie best with its new line of winter wear. The form-fitting long-sleeve tee with a sexy scoop neck ($25) is perfect for long nights hanging out with your honey at the Closet. The more masculine long-john version ($25) is a sturdy cotton thermal with the DITC star logo and is ideal for those days when you feel like ditching winter and dyking it up around the pool table. Available at ditc.net.
Sex sells
What’s pink, fruity and bursting into your mouth this holiday season? It’s Sex, a festive bubbly from L. Mawby, a boutique vineyard along the shores of northern Michigan (that’s the pinky finger to the nongeographer). Crisp, refreshing and priced to suit most piggy banks, this brut rosé is made with a touch of Anderson Valley pinot noir to give it a rosy hue. Sex has a wonderful finish and makes the perfect holiday gift for your boss (yes, we’re still talking about the wine, perv). Available at Kafka Wine Co., 3325 N Halsted St between Aldine Ave and Buckingham Pl (773-975-9463); $16.99.
Puppy love
Who says it’s tough for gays to adopt? Raising kids, at least of the canine kind, is something we’ve been doing with devotion and panache for decades. Enter Woof! A Gay Man’s Guide to Dogs (BowTie Press), in which every breed of homosexual (e.g., the leatherman, gym bunny, bear, twink, etc.) is matched up with his perfect pooch partner. Determine your gay breed temperament, learn how to host a puppy shower, and most important, discover how your canine companion can help you attract a boyfriend. Available at Unabridged Bookstore, 3251 N Broadway between Melrose St and Aldine Ave (773-883-9119); $19.99.
Buzzworthy
The Gigi, a new vibrator from LELO, purveyors of female pleasure, is modest in appearance, feels almost weightless in the palm of your hand and has the soft purr of a kitten. But stick this baby into your vagina, get her crankin’ with one of her five preprogrammed pleasure modes and let the good times roll. Gigi is designed for the G-spot connoisseur and will help you find it again and again and again. Available at Tulip, 1480 W Berwyn Ave between Glenwood Ave and Clark St (773-275-6110); $128.
Bears in the band
Queer-fronted quartet Grizzly Bear won us over big time with its last album, Yellow House. While we wait with bated breath for another dreamy, atmospheric set of orchestral sounds from this Brooklyn-based band, we’ll happily sate our appetites with Friend, a collection of rerecordings, remixes and covers that showcase Grizzly Bear engaging in more sonic adventures. Available at Reckless Records, 1532 N Milwaukee Ave between Honore St and North Ave (773-235-3727); $7.99.
