Who Are We

Strange Bedfellas is a homegrown shop that started up in Austin, TX USA in August of 2017.
We have since moved up to Washington State and are now making monsters in the Seattle area!

Meesh has been an artist all her life, and once she learned it was possible to do something as exciting as sculpting and casting her own monster-themed sex toys in her own house...well, there was no stopping her! With her husband Patrick at her side they started up Strange Bedfellas in their very small house and have been growing it ever since. About a year after opening they brought in their friend Steve to help with production and things just took off from there!

Strange Bedfellas focuses on creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind, body safe toys for their customers to enjoy. The shop has a focus on sex positivity and strives to create toys for all sorts of body types and personal preferences! Each toy design has a friendly character behind it, and each of our little friends is looking for the perfect mate. Some are looking for love and companionship, while others are just looking for a romp of a fun time with a new buddy. Monsters need love, too!

MEESH OGLESBY CUNNINGHAM is the artist who started it all! She has been a lover of monsters for as long as she can remember. Meesh designs the toys, pours the silicone, trims/cleans up the toys, makes a lot of the art, and generally runs the shop. If you’ve sent us a message or interacted with the shop on social media, you’ve been talking to Meesh! She loves the work and hopes you enjoy the creations she brings to life! She also works way more than she should and has no concept of work/life balance, but she’s working on it…

Favorite colors to work with: purple, aqua, and pink

PATRICK CUNNINGHAM is the keeper of the 3D printers and the general engineering brains of the operation. He works hard to help design and finish all the models that are later turned into toys. He’s also become our primary mold maker. If it’s technical, he’s probably the one taking care of it (his career as a software engineer means he’s the best fit for the brainy work around here). Every now and again he also gets to sneak in and pour dildos and they're always so much cooler than any of us expect!

Favorite colors to work with: red, blue, black

STEVE JONES is our friend who joined the shop early and helped us really grow like wild! Steve’s primary jobs are pouring toys, taking product photos, and toting bins of dildos to wherever Meesh needs them. He has a way with colors and sparkles that no one has quite been able to match. It seems impossible that his sparkles are better than Meesh’s but...here we are. He lives by the mantra: “A Tyv in every pour.” #sexysaxman

Favorite colors to work with: purple, orange, blue

AVERY BECKETT spent the first half of her career with us making so many toys with amazing color combos. Like, wow, so much color! She stayed back in Texas while the rest of the crew moved to Washington State, but she's still with us. Now Avery is mostly on the task of editing photos and creating amazing sticker art and other shop illustrations. But maybe someday she'll come visit and pour for us once again! Some day...
She’d also like to recommend that everyone get their USDA recommended daily intake of 25-38 grams of insoluble and soluble fiber.

Favorite colors to work with: turquoise, red, brown

BRANDON THOMPSON is the shop gremlin.
Yeah, he's back! We're working out of our combined house, so Brandon gets to pop in and say hi at random, just like he used to! But this time he doesn't get to just rearrange things when I'm not around. I've got my eye on you, gremlin!
Every now and again I think we'll be able to convince Brandon to do some pours. He's really quite good at it! Just no reorganizing my shelves!

Favorite colors to work with: purple, silver, pink

Some time ago CASSILDA escaped from a medical lab and found refuge in our little dildo shop. They're a 7 foot tall, blue skinned, perpetually squeeing tentacle monster and we were very happy to have them on our team!
Sadly, the time came for them to escape our dildo shop, and they've wandered off to cause chaos elsewhere in the world. They'll always have a place in our hearts and our shop's history. I hope they're out there having fun exercising their superpower: the ability to kill comment threads with a single sentence.

Thanks for the good times, Cassilda!
