The Pleasure Shop, a &#8220;sexual wellness&#8221; offshoot of Styles&#8217; brand Pleasing, will operate at 1224 S. Congress Ave. from Friday through Sunday, April 17-19.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our shelves will be lined with heavy hitters, including the twice-sold-out Pleasing Double-Sided Vibrator and a sweet collaboration launch with our friends @alice.mushrooms,&#8221; the brand teased on Instagram. &#8220;And ready yourselves for new arrivals debuting first in a city we\u2019ve become quite intimate with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pleasing as a whole is a lifestyle brand selling fashion apparel and accessories, fragrances, makeup, and nail polish. The sexual wellness category is much smaller, and so far only contains the single toy ($68), lube, and a shirt and hat sporting the same branded slogan: &#8220;Please yourself like you mean it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Back when the brand only included fashion and beauty products, it popped up in Austin twice: first for a <a href=\"https:\/\/austin.culturemap.com\/news\/fashion\/harry-styles-pleasing-south-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&#8220;saloon&#8221;<\/a> with a western theme, and then for a <a href=\"https:\/\/austin.culturemap.com\/news\/fashion\/pleasing-inn-south-congress-austin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">roadside motel<\/a>. When it debuted in Austin in 2024, it had only previously popped up in large cities like New York, Los Angeles, and London. Promotional materials called it the &#8220;first-ever pop-up in a secondary market.&#8221; Between that debut and this promised product launch, it seems that Harry Styles sees Austin as a place to meaningfully expand the brand.<\/p>\n<p>As the Instagram announcement promises, shoppers will also be able to browse products from Alice Mushrooms, a chocolate brand that adds ingredients like cordyceps, ashwagandha, and lion&#8217;s mane. These are purported to be &#8220;functional&#8221; for certain energy, focus,and social boosts. We don&#8217;t know which varieties the brand will bring, but the &#8220;Happy Ending&#8221; for an &#8220;intimate encounter&#8221; and to &#8221; drive, stamina, and satisfaction,&#8221; seems like it would fit the vibe.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some Harry Styles fans thought the was about to announce a Coachella appearance; instead, the singer announced a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,6980,57497,95410],"class_list":{"0":"post-252239","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-austin","8":"tag-austin","9":"tag-austin-headlines","10":"tag-austin-news","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-harry-styles","13":"tag-sexual-wellness"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
