Editorial Review for Diverse Universe – by T. Katrina Ramser
The Scene
This friendly store throws clever punches and turns with its large selection of rainbow candles, rainbow shot glasses, rainbow umbrellas ... get the picture? Though you may not find much merchandise especially suited for your straight associates, the browsing at Diverse Universe is genuinely fun for both homo- and hetero-leaning shoppers. And while the store offers an impressive selection of erotica, it's mostly on the tasteful side: Only a few choice items will make you blush.
The Merchandise
Check out the selection of drag-queen dolls and Tyson, "the World's First Out and Proud Gay Doll," who happens to be wearing army fatigues. There are gay-lesbian-themed DVDs and videos ("Boys Don't Cry," "Tales of the City," etc.) and CDs by some of the music industry's most beloved artists--Queen, Erasure, Madonna and George Michael. Notice, as well, the little Adam-and-Steve hints in magnets, hat, flags, pet collars, rings, ashtrays, towels, pictures and cards. There's full sections of erotica and serious-themed merchandise and a strong literary department featuring both gay and lesbian authors.
