Hot Topic isn't the first mall shop with absurd clothing options, you know.
There were shops with the silly lace-up leather jeans and much of the other garb here. Shopkkeepers were happy to separate glam metalheads and wannabes from their money. A few years later there were a lot of Michael Jackson thriller red-leather jacket knockoffs. Not sure if you could by the sequined gloves individually.
That said, I think the sequined cod-tights are bespoke. And I never had the chance to buy a genuine Cameo red codpiece. Wonder if they're on some Hard Rock Cafe wall surrounded by fake vintage guitars.
This, well its not quite "Ghetto Life", is it?
