An avalanche of feminist-queer-vegan-antiwar-craft-geek-pop culture buttons that will easily suck an hour out of your life once you start browsing. Sweet, acidic, hilarious, a witty and utterly fantastic array of one-inch sentiments to scatter across a jacket or handbag. They can also be made into stickers, some of them are available as t-shirts, and apparently the undies section will be returning soon.

My Two Cents Clothing

Original tees loaded with pirates-guns-skulls-beer-good times sentiments, where rockabilly’s iconography gets smashed over punk grime with a few tattooed knuckles lurking at the edges. Hoodies, babydolls, tanks, tote bags, pins and patches are all emblazoned with various madnesses, with hats and belt buckles proudly flaunting the one-finger salute.

Snarky McF

lilah wild — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 21:08:59 +0000

“This catalog is adults only due to language.” Indeed. Little black buttons where the understated lowercase leaves everything to the message, full of geek/burner/fetish attitude with sprinklings of zombies and bacon. “You autocomplete me.” “OWW is not a safe word.” “Waiting for our tentacled overlords, and you?” Much more, and much more profane. Stickers, too. Thanks, Sara!

The Alley Chicago

lilah wild — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:45:00 +0000

A Midwest subcultural shop that has been around since 1971, updating their punk and metal stock with the more recent waves of retro and emo. Clothing from Switchblade Stiletto, Lucky Kat and Evil Kitty, leather jackets, a little latex fashion, Marche Noir jewelry, Demonia boots, Special Effects hair dye, themed chalices, biker pins, an utter avalanche of accessories, and to top it all off, sensual playthings.

Body Jewellery Shop

lilah wild — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:17:00 +0000

Everything you need to flaunt UV-plugged ears, spiked nips, and make a sex toy out of your tongue. A good selection of basics plus fakes for those who’d rather stay intact, and regular old jewelry in fimo, steel, glass, silver, and rubber. But that’s not all – dread kits, Stargazer cosmetics, Terroreyes contact lenses, temp tats, rockabilly patches, and Vince Ray duds.

Whiplash Workshop

lilah wild — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:13:00 +0000

Retro and rockabilly cute with just a sprinkling of neon hysteria, where the fluffy cupcake minis sport bondage straps and there are gun holsters on the pencil skirts. Miss Fortune, Rock Steady, Switchblade Stiletto, Wildcat, Serious, Collectif, Sacred Society, and plenty of tattooed, leoparded accessorization.

Attitude Clothing Co.

lilah wild — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:24:00 +0000

Goth velvets, emo splash, punk tartans, a polka-dot of retro, hoodies for all.

The Sarcophagus Store

lilah wild — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 20:05:00 +0000

“Art and curios from the Royal Sarcophagus Society.” This site gathers together a bunch of odd little brands that embrace the lighter side of morbid, with a dash of Ye Olde Weird. Coffin boxes, cute toothy skull buttons, lolita dresses from House of Pomegranates, greeting cards both anime and inappropriate, Quoth the Raven t-shirts, vegan soaps, ragdolls and sweetly grim toys, with the neoVictorian streak surfacing in the shaving solutions and Arsenic And Oolong Society tea sets. The fine art section features classic black and white cemetery photography for the more dead-set ubergoth.

CrustPunks

lilah wild — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 10:10:00 +0000

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!

Raven Clothing

lilah wild — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 10:16:00 +0000

Dark adornment that’s heavily metallic in the band merch. Manic Panic hair dye and makeup, Alchemy Gothic jewelry, a tiny bit of clothing from Lip Service and Berzerk, fishnets and spider hose, tattooed baby bibs, and an impressive array of thrash/doom/death patches both classic and nu.

Trashville USA

lilah wild — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:05:00 +0000

Rockabilly accessorization from Lucky 13, Sourpuss, Lux de Ville, Sailor Jerry, and others, with all the tattooed stuff given its own easily browsed section. Retro-style handbags and sunglasses, skull bows and hair flowers, patches, compacts and pocket mirrors, bandannas, flash-inspired tees and jewelry, kids’ clothes, Day of the Dead posters, housewares, and a page of various hair pomades.

Bleeding Star Clothing

lilah wild — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:42:00 +0000

Streetwear splattered with chaotic art, graffiti and tattoo-influenced graphics that go roaring across the chest and back. Rotting urban landscapes, the colors of electro turned dark and weird, rockabilly guns and stars melting into paint drips, an eclectic, frenzied array. Mostly t-shirts with a few hoodies, and some pin sets.

Neon Black

lilah wild — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:26:00 +0000

Dreadfall kits, DIY extensions, fringes and streaks, wigs, and cyberlox, with the add-ons of beads, plastic lacing and tubing. Along with all the fake hair, there’s some gothic clothing in the streetwear/gothabilly style, wintertime accessories, patches, skull-patterned purses and ties, body jewelry, hosiery, 80’s adornments, and other miscellaneous clubby pizzazz.
