Most women I know would rather spend a night out dancing with their girlfriends than hit the gym.  I’d also venture a guess that most women who saw Demi Moore in Striptease wondered, “Can I do that?”  Luckily, for us Chi-town ladies, there is a place where you can learn how to dance like that, spend some much needed time with the ladies dancing, and NOT wake up wishing you had skipped that last martini.  Sheila Kelly S Factor Chicago is the perfect place to combine friends, fun and fitness and feel great about your body afterwards.

Sheila Kelly was inspired to create S Factor after learning sensual dancing for a film she produced and starred in called The Blue Iguana.  She realized that by teaching the art of pole dancing and sensual movement she could help women feel more confident about their bodies and also improve their physical fitness.  Every month this year, S factor will have Level One classes for women to discover their sexy, inner power.  Their most popular class is the 8-week Original Series of dance classes – sign up now and you’ll be ready to hit the dance floor for all of your summer weddings!

Heather Grajdura is the studio manager at the Chicago location in the West Loop.  When not helping the women of Chicago become more sexy and toned she can be found picking out fresh produce at her favorite local, sustainable market Green Grocer, or strutting her stuff in 8-inch black stilettos – hopefully not while wearing the stilettos!

Check out their website today to sign up for an intro class, and check out their weekly “what’s hot” item.  Use the code “justsexy” now through April 31st, 2010 for 50% off your Intro, plus a side-tie g-string embossed with our signature “S”!  S Factor is located at 1400 W. Hubbard or you can check out the schedule at www.sfactor.com or (312)  492-7596.

We at You Just Shop wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. We know how difficult the winter can seem and are just as glad to have a holiday to take our minds off the freezing temperatures and icy sidewalks. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be profiling 3 local stores who specialize in empowering women through their sexuality. Valentine’s Day is traditionally seen as time to spend with a significant other but we think it’s very important to remember to love yourself and your body and feel that these businesses define that concept.

Our first shopping showcase is G Boutique. G Boutique is a locally owned shop offering all things pleasureful. It opened because owners, Cheryl and Kari, felt like there were no places in the city where women could go to seek out advice, apparel, or accessories related to their sexuality. The store was founded as a space for women to feel comfortable searching for ways to satisfy themselves and their partners in a happy, safe sex life. Anything from demure lace nighties to sexy satin teddies can be found in this one-of-a-kind Chicago boutique. Or if you’re looking to add a little spice to your experience this year, they also carry a wide range of toys such as the We-Vibe, The Magic Banana and The Pleasure Commander. Looking for something new and different for your girlfriends do? Check out their class schedule and see if any of the offerings are right for you. This year G Boutique will be expanding their class offerings to include Latin Dancing, DIY sex toys, make your own pasties and more. Stop in now or anytime in February, mention You Just Shop, and save 10% on any lingerie purchase. Stay tuned to hear more about our next business that will help you love your body and have fun doing so!

G Boutique is located at 2131 N. Damen Ave in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood.  They can be reached at 773.235. 1234 or visit their website at www.boutiqueg.com to learn more about them!
