LAKE VIEW

99th Floor 3406 N. Halsted 773.348.7781 metal rave bond goth punk 10/05
They have lots of great clothes, boots, jewelry, hats, belts, and stuff like that. Kind of a less commercial version of The Alley. They're closed on Tuesdays & Wednesdays; during the week they're open from 2-10; Sundays from 12-7.
Alley 858 W. Belmont 773.883.1800 metal rave bond goth punk 10/05
They've got clothes, jewelry, leathers, boots, buttons, patches, stickers, hair dye, toys, etc..
Egore's Dungeon 900 W. Belmont 773.525.7131 metal rave bond goth punk 10/05
Another store with vinyl clothes, chains, sex toys, etc. I've never found anything really cool or remarkably inexpensive there, but your results may differ. They open at 11 am; Monday through Saturday they close at midnight, Sundays at 10:00.
Medusa's Circle 3268 N. Clark 773.935.5950 rave bond goth punk 10/05
Vinyl clothing, corsets, bondage pants, and miscellaneous club wear & accessories. It's nifty.
Pink Frog 3201 N. Clark 773.525.2680 rave goth 10/05
They have great stuff cheap!!! It's very girl-oriented, so if you're a hetero guy who is insecure about his sexuality, avoid it. There's a shoes-only "branch" of the Pink Frog about a half a block away at 905 W. Belmont. Note that i called their number just now & got no answer. Could be they're just closed for the night, but just in case, you might wanna call before you go.
Taboo-Tabou 854 W. Belmont 773SAFESEX x223 rave bond goth 10/05
They have lots of plastic clothing plus goth acoutrements, and sex toys galore. They also advertise a Gallery of Condoms, but i've never actually seen it. They've moved back to their old spot, and last time i was there (summer of 2004), the $10 rack had become the "$2.50 - $15" rack (even though i haven't checked in on the discount rack in a while, i know the store is still there).

LINCOLN PARK

Sally Beauty Supply 2727 N. Clark 773.477.6222 metal rave goth punk 10/05
Open 9-8 weekdays, i don't know about weekends. It's kind of remote from the other cool places, but Sally is of course the best place to get 40-volume developer & other hair fixins. If you do decide to go there, it's surrounded by lots of stores about which i have no info because they're kinda "alterna-mainstream" and expensive, but which you might want to check out if you just like to shop.

WICKER PARK

Heads & Threads 1254 N. Milwaukee 773.235.1190 10/05
They got wigs, extensions, and i thought they had hair dye but i could have that all wrong. There are so many wig stores in that area i can't keep them straight.
Sally Beauty Supply 1287 N. Milwaukee 773.276.4580 metal rave goth punk 10/05
Open 9-8 weekdays, i don't know about weekends. It's kind of remote from the other cool places, but Sally is of course the best place to get 40-volume developer & other hair fixins. If you do decide to go there, it's surrounded by lots of stores about which i have no info because they're kinda "alterna-mainstream" and expensive, but which you might want to check out if you just like to shop.
