There’s a treat for every taste, from ElectraStim Electro Sex Packs to vibrating waterproof ducks in Santa hats, there’s some actual sturdy corsetry among the Music Legs and Dreamgirl, and this is the place to hit for glow-in-the-dark condoms. Forums are also present for the lively discussion of it all.

Bannsshe Designs Victorian gothic satin wedding bootBespoke wedding shoes that include a page of boots: Edwardian buttoned, Victorian laced stilettos, brocade kitten heels, thigh-high if you’re that kind of bride. Lots of ivory and satin of course, but black satin is offered for a witchier look, as well as different heel heights, silk possibilities, and tartan for clan ceremonies and punk dressup.

Shrinking Violet retro pinup Virgin Mary dressA fifties-eighties-zombie-punk rock’n'roll riot. Skeleton skinny jeans, pop art longsleevers and cocktail cardigans, flowered aprons, velvet frock coats, skirted swimsuits, page after page of pinup dresses in prints both sweet and psychotic. The bags feature dead girl gravestones and glittery brass knuckles, there are jewels and hair things from Kreepsville 666, and don’t miss the shoe section, which splatters neon animal prints onto everything from maryjanes to winklepickers.

Burlesque Baby retro pinup cami setRetro fashion of the tight and wiggly variety, with a predilection towards satin and leopard print. Bustier tops and blouses, pencil skirts, and clingy dresses, with corsets and cami sets and little nighties in the lingerie section. Accessories include tattooed purses and a robust shoe section perfect for pinup coordination. And for actual performances, they’ve got fans, parasols, and wigs that pay very close attention to the bangs.

Lindsay Fleming retro flapper bridal gownFlowing fairytale wedding gowns, medieval-style with dramatic sleeves and sweeping trains, hoods and knotwork popping about. There’s also a collection of twenties-inspired flappery dresses for slinkier silhouettes. Coordinating capes and coats, wire headdresses, adorable little box purses, and shoes are available to complete an ensemble, and they do some partial design on groom outfits to complement the bridalwear.

VampireWear blood vial necklaceHome of the Blood Vials, which can be ordered prefilled with stage blood or left empty for your own nefarious purposes. Roses, hearses, and high fantasy creatures figure in much of the jewelry, and they also carry toothsome tees, Demonia shoes and handbags, and fangs, of course. Thanks, Jfay!

CutesyGirl 80's platform ruffled pumpsAn enormous array of skimpy clubwear and some actual practical stuff too, tunic turtlenecks among the plunging necklines and metallic minidresses. Leggings, rompers, pleather motorcycle jackets, denim skinnies and flares, plenty of separates to play with, a ton of costume jewelry, 20 pages of Halloween costumes, and what looks to be Leg Avenue’s entire catalog. Particularly good for scrunchy ankle boots and platform pumps and all the other fun 80’s-esque styles in materials that are not leather.
