@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.

She nailed a politician with a water balloon. The Yankees were impressed.
