From the Estate of Candice B. Groot
Jan. 30th, 2016 11:31 pmIf you're looking for some light entertainment this weekend I can highly recommend perusing Treadway Toomey's catalogue for their forthcoming auction of Fine Timepieces, Erotica and Decorative Arts from the estate of Candice B. Groot (what an epic name!). And my goodness what an eclectic eye Candice had when it came to erotica!! There's all sorts here from a wide range of periods, every corner of the globe, catering to an astonishing array of kinks.
( What did you say the time was? )
Interestingly, though perhaps unsurprisingly given the date of the collection, there is only one piece of homosexual erotica and, predictably, it's a crude (in every sense of the word) illustration of sailors.
( It had to be sailors... )
The catalogue coyly warns that:
I can't comment on the gentleness of your hearts, but you're all grownups, so I'm not going to warn for erotica, but I am going to warn for the hilariously bad taxidermy which also features in the collection. Not that I'm in the business of kink shaming anyone, but seriously, what were you thinking Candice?!

Many items in this collection are of an erotic nature. Images in this online catalog may be inappropriate for minors and the gentle of heart.
