For all your kinky needs, The 9th Annual Naughty Santa's Black Market

9th Annual Naughty Santa’s Black Market will be this Sunday!

I won't actually be there, because I'll be killing myself running/walking at the Honolulu Marathon that morning. So if anyone happens to go, I would really appreciate some pics or a report to me :)

Naughty Santa’s is shining a little light for today’s shoppers. They have re-worked the traditional crafts fair. This revival brings edge, irony and attitude. Choose from many one-of-a-kind gifts under $20. Or support local artists and pamper yourself with fashion, art or jewelry priced as high as your rent-check.

“This is not your grandmother’s crafts fair!!”

“It’s like a vast art gallery of eclectic fine arts”

“A feast of visual and tactile delights”

“Shopping, Partying and Entertainment!!”

Naughty Santa’s has established a 2 hour ‘family’ period (after naptime before dinner/bedtime) that is stroller and young adult friendly. We have asked the artists to respect that younger people might be viewing their art. There still may be some explaining to do. It may be the easiest way for families to experience art together.
