Reclassified as a specialty boutique due to expanded product line.
Amazingly cool and helpful staff. Selection tends to focus on the exotic
and costumes and such (like what you can't find at K-mart) but there are
some staples as well.
New lines include wigs and accessories.
The name of this firm is very similar to that of another vendor,
to which this firm has no connection.
