A gorgeous couple taking a selfie with The Ripped Bodice storefront behind them.

@nicholaskaufmann.bsky.social and I visited the newly opened @therippedbodice location in Brooklyn. It was SO BIG. 😉 Also super busy and packed with customers. Great selection of books! And teas, chocolates, stickers, bookmarks, t-shirts, totes, etc. I can't wait to make a return visit.

Don't fuck with people named Alexa. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/03/yankees-water-balloon-politician-video/
