The home site for the infamous brand of uberfetish boots, quite popular for playing up 80’s goth pointy toes and skull buckles, and the elevator soles of the futuristic 90’s, with wanderings into pirate, Victorian, disco, and other flavors along the way. They do more than just dark, though – here, one can find their platformed, star-sprinkled interpretations of 70’s glitterglam and a page of mod styles. Best of all, their designs include stilettos, combats, and all heights in between for a wide range of comfort levels.

Not just dreadfalls – which come in wool and synthetic – but UV plastic and weaving thread for DIY projects, dye both Directions semiperm and spray-on, wigs for those who prefer to just plop their hair on, and top hats to crown it all with. Face jewels and Stargazer makeup make sure all the unnatural colors can be totally coordinated.

The name sounds futuristic and glowy; they do have a cyberloxy dreadfall section, but this store is actually more along the lines of fetish corsets, extreme posture collars and face masks and eyepatches and all. Buckles and shine are the main design anchors, dipping into nurse crosses, tribal swirls, and a “Glitteresque” collection, with some cinchers for men, and pasties as a fleshy alternative to wearing that underbust with a bra.

80’s plastic and vintage-style brass split the jewelry section in this kitschy catalog, purveying both hot pink leopard stretch bracelets and statement necklaces where the statement is an octopus. Also glittering things for the hair, glamour-themed makeup and skincare, jewelry boxes and other functionally pretty things for the vanity, and retro housewares.

Day of the Dead skulls – and some devils, too – emblazoned across t-shirts and greeting cards, and really in keeping with the spirit of the holiday, housewares. Handpainted cocktail glasses and mugs, mousepads, cutting boards, switchplate covers, coasters, the little everyday things, and there are 7-day candles for more spiritual needs. Besides the bright depictions of skeletons going about their lives as motorcyclists and mermaids and punk guitarists, there are specialty sections for Frida Kahlo and queer wedding gifts.

Skirts so voluminous it’s possible to lose a child in them. It’s all fairywear for little ones, lots and lots of froof that can be pixie-knotted or ballroom-sweeping, attached to onesies or made reversible, dotted with flowers and ribbons and sparkles. Ballet slippers, teeny bloomers, flowered headbands and clips, and other accessories provide the rest of the fantasy transformation, and little teepees ensure a designated teaparty zone within a living room.

A place that sneers at the concept of “pre-distressed” and sells their jackets utterly unadorned, leaving it to the buyer to customize as they see fit – and that’s just the way it should be! – with studs and spikes and patches and pins and even zebra/tartan/leopard fabric. Loads of band tees, skinny jeans, striped sweaters, Manic Panic hair dye, and all the essential media to go with it. Thanks, Sara!
