You have to get in the back room-even if it is just to file a report with all of us!! I feel like there are hidden treasures, and lord only knows what else!!
I love a weird, fascinating shop full of characters. So much more fun than any chain store could ever be!

Shit, I just looked at the website and love it. I wanted some “Court Case Cologne”, not that I have any legal matters pending, it just sounds so good (though it obviously didn’t work for Jenny’s boyfriend.)

Ha ha, yes, “sharing” size.

Oh no, now I’m desperate to see a pic of the real shop. You MUST go back and befriend them. Then take a few selfies with the cast 😉

Suspended – This picture is not from my botanica, I didn’t have the nerve to ask if I could take photos. The one pictured is more touristy. When I say weird shit, I mean weird shit! I noticed a dried up chicken foot in a box full of strange items…no Tupac though. I’ll get that kid M&Ms, ‘sharing size.’

Muscato – YES! I could have gone on for twenty pages on this one experience. I was pretty stoned though, I’ll admit. Should I go in the back room???

This cracked me up. I loved your “Lock Up” comment:) It reminded me of an awesome Patton Oswalt bit that makes me double over every time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgmBcGyp5oQ

I must visit that store one day. I love their website and have thought of ordering their “Jinx Removing” soap. Love that you can “Shop by Desire,” ha ha.

The right writer could get a lifetime’s work out of that store. Perhaps that’s you…

No exchange
No refunds

…and in two languages. I’m impressed. That’s some serious customer service right there. I’m wondering if the boyfriend is in jail for punching a customer who tried to return a faulty Buddha.

Intrigued by the plate to the left of the black arm, is that a pair of breasts with big, green nipples?

I love shops that are full of shit. Did they have a bust of Tupac with cannabis leaves around his head like a halo and wearing a necklace with a gun? I love that bust! It has serious moobs too. They’re super rare and fetch a fortune on Ebay. Just giving you a heads up…you could make yourself a few dollars 😉

Go back and get the rest of the story! Maybe take the fat kid a bag of M&M’s.
