Editorial Review for Cheap Thrills – by Connie Werner Synclair

The Scene
Clear two hours from your day planner and grab a handful of quarters for the parking meter before you step into this amazing labyrinth of garments. Upstairs it's back-to-back costumes, from Renaissance to horror. Downstairs, the music sets the mood for each era of vintage clothing. You'll groove from room to room, ready to unearth another fascinating find like an archaeologist of style.

What's Unique
Uncover muumuus, Papillon dresses and skirt sets, plus a full line of swing-era clothing. Order a custom-tailored zoot suit. Inside their purple dressing room, you'll wiggle in and out of dresses like the glamorous movie stars of the '50s and '60s used to wear. It's like the Valley of the Dolls come to life. Who ever thought trying on vintage underwear could be so much fun?

they sell animal fur coats!!! :( please dont support this store! - very sad. there is absolutly no excuse for this. animals used in the fur industry are raised and trapped just for their fur. The fur ads you might see in magazines and commercials portray fur coats as a symbol of elegance. But these ads fail to show how the original owners of these coats met their gruesome deaths. Millions of fur-bearing animals including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria, beav**rs, muskrats, otters, and others are kil*ed each year on fur farms by an*l and vag***l electrocution and in the wild by drowning, trapping, or beating. tell cheapthrills to stop selling fur!!!

Pros: they can stop selling fur and get more buisness - pleazzzzzze !!!!

Cons: now they sell cruelty :(

Lots of fun vintage clothes! My Husband and I were looking for that great Disco Look that you can only get with vintage gear. Cheap Thrills had an abundunce of stuff to purchase and rent. We were able to find some really cool stuff at a great price! The staff was extrmely helpful and were able to help put our outfits together! We will definitely be back next time we are looking for a unique look for a party or special occasion. Check it out it's one of Sacramento's hidden gems!

Pros: Huge Selection of Vintage Clothes!!

Cons: NONE!!
