Jackass Comes to the Stockroom!: Below are clips featuring Stockroom product – and the Stockroom itself – from JackassWorld, the official website of MTV’s infamous Jackass television show starring Johnny Knoxville. A professional daredevil known for his wild neck-risking stunts and pranks, Knoxville is actually a little nervous when faced with some of our more unusual specialty gear. Check out both these hilarious videos, hosted by dapper opera-singing impresario Mr. Merlin, director of upscale LA dungeon the Broken Door. The first clip is an actual tour of the Stockroom premises; the next is a “show and tell” session Mr. Merlin stages in the JackassWorld offices:



Our Los Angeles boutique – which you saw in the Jackass clips above – has made several other great media appearances recently, thanks to its winning combination of unique, quality products showcased in a beautifully designed setting. Playboy TV’s “Foursome” dating show brought its daters to the Stockroom/Syren store to learn how to indulge in a rubber fetish, and Los Angeles magazine – which featured the store prominently in it’s recent “Sex” issue (October 2008) – named the Stockroom/Syren store LA’s “Best Fetish Store” for 2008.

Products from the Stockroom and from our family of companies, including Syren Latex and Stormy Leather have been making mainstream headlines lately. Gorgeous Jessica Alba raised both heart rates and voter awareness when she wore our bestselling Bondage Tape - and nothing else – in a sexy and effective ad to promote voter registration for DeclareYourself.com. As celebrity news service TMZ reported on their TV show and on their site, we got all manner of phone calls and foot traffic from people who wanted the “Jessica Alba bondage tape.” See the ad and the article here: www.tmz.com

And fashion magazines and websites around the world have been raving about the hot Syren Latex styles worn by Britney Spears in the video for her latest single, Womanizer . The UK’s Guardian, the NY Daily News, Marie Claire, and NY Magazine all reported on the Rubber Muir Cap and skintight snap-front vest with plunging neckline Britney Vest, named in her honor that the svelte pop singer wore in her newest music video.
