So ever since we first posted his “Show and Tell” program, Mister Merlin has been dying to get us down to the Stockroom. This is, after all, the place where he picked up his selection of sexual fetish devices, like the nipple clamp contraption he demonstrated on JxPx Blackmon, and the source of all those fine catalogs we used for Jeff Tremaine’s birthday present. Johnny Knoxville finally agreed to visit the storefront location here in Los Angeles, but not without a certain degree of hesitation—well, that and a trusty “human shield” named Crash. Mister Merlin was, of course, overjoyed to give us a full-on guided tour of the latex-scented boutique and all the “stuff” it has to offer (from the harmlessly kinky to the downright fucking scary), not to mention the Stockroom’s spacious back warehouse, where he literally pranced through the aisles of butt plugs, lubes, dildos, and every other unimaginable sexy thing like a giddy kid in a candystore. Take it away, Mister Merlin!
