Annabelle's Wigs purple flipA catalog of hairpieces that fall on the more naturalish side of things, presenting 20’s curls, flipped highlights, and Godiva-length locks with a few deviations into color, for those occasions where that inverted bob *must* frame the face in cherry red.

TattooBrite

TattooBriteThis “cosmeceutical” tattoo aftercare product purports to brighten the colors of subdermal ink while protecting against long-term fading. The SPF 20 certainly doesn’t hurt against the damage of sunlight, and the two formulas include a gentler p.h. for sensitive skin and, ahem, delicate areas. While I haven’t personally tried this product, it sounds like a decent possibility for skin art that’s gone dull, especially when the price tag isn’t too bad for giving it a trial run.

Hawleywood's hair pomadeThis tiny chain revives the barbershop atmosphere of the 40’s, offering straight razor shaves and “the cleanest haircut in Southern California.” For those too far away to get their pomps, puffs, boogies, or waterfalls maintained at the source, their hair goods can be bought over the ‘net – the pomade comes in a convenient bulk size, and the aftershave looks like a choice retro scent for the dudes. Thanks, Andrew!

They stock all the waxes, shampoos, conditioners, and tighteners needed for healthy maintenance, plus dyes and bleach, and special combs and anti-frizz tools to keep everything neat.

Also body polish, club toys, ear stretching kits, and a little hemp clothing.
