Intimate Desires Boutique Offers Upscale Sexy Looks

Owner Penny Vickery wanted to create an upscale sexy boutique where both men and women would feel comfortable shopping.

Looking for a sexy Halloween costume? Maybe you need something alluring for a romantic evening… or you need to buy a gift for a bachelorette shower?

You can get it all at Intimate Desires, a new boutique in downtown Palm Harbor that features high-end sexy frocks and other goodies in a comfortable, upscale atmosphere.

Owner, Penny Vickery opened the boutique in July after realizing there was a need for a nice store where people could comfortably shop for sexy items and not have to deal with flashing neon lights and porn.

"I couldn't find anything upscale that didn't have porn," she said, "I wanted a place where women could come in and shop and not have to walk into the store with their tail between their legs and be embarrassed to go in."

Vickery hand-picks all the items in the store and says she can sell them at great prices because she does not have to pay the overhead that stores in shopping malls pay.
