OKG Shop: Sense and sensuality

February welcomes Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras, and sometimes the best way to celebrate is by loving the one you’re with — even if that person is you. Adult games, lingerie, costumes, sales, toys, fitness and couples classes offer plenty of reasons to tell your friends, “Sorry. I can’t make it to the booze and paint social tonight; I’m tied up.” — By Gazette staff  | Photos by Mark Hancock
