  Adult Video Megaplex

  Just like an outing to Target, really. The young women staffing the cashier's station are friendly and unbothered, for all the world like they're working at Old Navy. Huge and well-organized porn selection, plenty of plastic wee-wees and vajay-jays. Open 24/7!

  Alamo Fiesta on Main

  If you’re throwing a party (regardless of theme) Alamo Fiesta is must-see destination. Garlands, papel picado, piñatas, and hand-painted tin ornaments can be purchased at prices that might make you go overboard. Talavera housewares, serapes, masks, and Mexican dresses (made in Mexico especially for the store) make Alamo Fiesta a cheerful one-stop-shopping destination for out-of-town guests. Even the adjacent higher-end folk art gallery boasts hard-to-believe price tags. Don’t miss the back patio with its cheerful array of imported metal lawn ornaments (the roosters are very popular), and candy-colored ceramic snakes that climb the wall.

  Maybe the most ghetto of the local sex emporia, which might be right up your proverbial alley, depending on what you're into.

  Fabulous Shoes

  The Goodwill at 410 near Blanco has the most amazing footwear for women. From 5-inch heels to Birks, the quality of the donated items are especially good, which is rare for any thrift store. As with all thrift stores, keep in mind that some days are better than others, so if you strike out once, don't blame me, OK? Goodwill awesome shoe karma will happen for you eventually.

  Jive Refried

  Agosto Cuellar’s Jive Refried is Southtown’s go-to emporium for all things vintage. The store gets packed on First Fridays, when bizarre (even scary) tchotchkes perched atop shelves make sure no one slips out without paying for their costumes for the evening. Prices can seem high at times, but Cuellar’s buying eye (much of the merchandise comes from places with better style track records than Texas) produces top-quality pieces that you won’t find in thrift stores. Costume jewelry, hats, well-preserved Western shirts with pearly snaps, and handbags galore make Jive Refried an ideal destination for gifts, while Cuellar’s whimsical, original designs are conversation-starters to say the least

  Redemption Garb Vintage

  A favorite of downtown scenesters, Redemption Garb Vintage lures in shoppers with decently priced treasures as old as the ’40s. Not surprisingly, a high concentration of the merchandise is from the ’80s, but a good scouring of the racks can produce sweaters, dresses, and (to a lesser extent) menswear from the polyester-clad 60s. Our secret shopper fell in love with a black shift dress fit for Wednesday Addams, and a pair of Caddyshack-era golfing pants that could easily help a hipster win the Most Ironically Dressed award. Owner Shelby Guevara has been known to tailor clothes to give them a modern fit, and even stocks locally produced silkscreened T-shirts for vintage-phobic shoppers.

  San Angel Folk Art

  San Angel Folk Art has been exhibiting and selling outsider and folk art since 1989. Aside from the higher- priced work that rotates along with the store’s exhibition schedule, owner Hank Lee stocks only-in-Texas gift items like sets of glasses made from recycled Topo Chico bottles and impeccably revamped versions of Western shirts and guayaberas made especially for the store. Dia de Los Muertos-themed items can be found year-round, and Lee is almost always around to explain exactly what it is you’re looking at and where on earth it came from. Even if you left your wallet at home, it’s worth stopping by to peek at the new arrivals and say hi to the pair of lovebirds that live in the store.

  Shades of Love

  Family-owned, user friendly, and staffed (in part) by the frisky Rosemary Benitez, the "Mary Poppins of the Sex Industry", this shop offers lingerie, vibes, condoms, books, y mas, and feels very women-friendly and not at all creepy. They also do bachelorette parties, classes, and seminars.

  Sloan/Hall

  Possibly SA’s most curated selection of gifts, housewares, and jewelry, sloan/hall is the perfect place to pick up a specialized gift for the friend who already has one of everything. It’s not for everyone ? jewelry can range anywhere from $90 to $4,000, and hard-to-find books can cost upwards of $1,000 ? but if you know someone who’s worth the splurge (including yourself), sloan/hall’s got you covered, and you’ll definitely inspire a chorus of “Where did you get that?”
